ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Analyst (Syllabus 2019) - CTAL-TA_Syll2019 Exam Practice Test

Rather than developing an e-commerce product, management has decided to acquire a COTS package The e-commerce product needs to interface.
with backend applications such a finance, stock control and order delivery. You are asked to define a test plan for this project.
Given just the information in the scenario, which of the following software quality characteristics must be included in your test plan?

You have just attended a cross-functional meeting during which a list of risk items was reviewed. After much discussion, each item was assigned a likelihood and impact rating by the group. Although there was some disagreement, the outcome was generally accepted by everyone who participated. You will now be working on planning the testing to address the identified risks in priority order. When you execute the tests, you will be conducting what type of activity?

You are building tests using the classification tree below. You have been told that pairwise testing would be a good approach to this problem. When you apply the pairwise testing technique what would be the expected effect on the number of test cases?

The Technical Test Analyst has created a suite of keyword-driven tests to be used to test a calendar creation application. Because users may enter erroneous data, error checking must be handled with the automation. What is the best way to test the error conditions and still use the keyword-driven tests?

You are testing software which is being ported from one platform to another. There are no documented requirements and there is no time budgeted for writing them.
Which type of test technique is most useful in this situation?

You have been informed by your Test Manager that the next project you will be working on as a Test Analyst will be using an iterative model rather than the V-model your projects normally employ. What might be an adjustment you and your test team might expect to make?

You have been assigned to test an application that allows users to conduct banking online. You have been asked to verify the various installation environments for the product. According to the specification the product supports four browsers (Edge, Chrome, FireFox and Safari), three operating systems (Windows, Mac, Unix), and four languages (English, Spanish, French, German). As you are reviewing the specifications you realize that the actual operating system names and versions were not included, only the major category. From this, you conclude that if you pick one from each of these sets (for example, select Windows 10 for the Windows OS), that testing should be sufficient.
You have researched the product and determined that there should be no interaction between these three characteristics that would affect the operation of the system. However, you do want to exercise representative set of these options while conducting the other functional testing for the product.
If you decide to test pairs of combinations, how many combinations will you need to test?

Ken finds the quality of the tea locally available to be so low, that he decides to research superior teas around the world. He decides to market, sell and distribute these superior teas via the web. His marketing strategy is to offer superior products on a well-designed website that has fast loading graphics, high availability, superior usability and fast response times. The website will offer the following:
- An innovative interactive catalogue of teas, which not only enables customers to buy the product, but also enables them to provide feedback by rating the teas (which will influence his stock purchasing levels).
- Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactions.
- Provide the customer with the ability to give general feedback.
Ken selects an iterative model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers who are experienced in web development Ken, although he doesn't have a technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentation is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly. The test basis contains the following:
- Story boards that show the information flow and page links through the site.
- HTML pages developed to date
- A set of non-functional requirements.
With the strategy taking shape, it is decided that exploratory testing should be used to complete the required testing, bearing in mind the nature of the application and the nature of Ken's overall objectives. You have now been given the task of identifying the exploratory tests, which will be executed as test sessions.
Which of the options below state what you will typically use for identifying the exploratory tests?
