ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (Syllabus 2011, D only)

Question 1

Your task is to compile a test execution schedule for the current release of software.
The system specification states the following logical dependencies:
* An admin user must create/amend/delete a standard user.
* A standard user is necessary to perform all other actions.
The test plan requires that re-tests must be performed first, followed by the highest priority tests. To save time, the test plan states that tests should be scheduled to create test data for the subsequent tests in the schedule.
The following test cases have been designed, with an indication of priority (1 being the highest priority) and whether the test has previously failed.

Which test execution schedule meets the test plan requirements and logical dependencies?

A. e, a, d, c, b

B. e, a, b, c, d

C. a, d, c, b, e

D. a, c, b, d, e

Correct Answer: B

Question 2

"Experience based" test design techniques, typically...

A. Identify the structure of the system or software at the component, integration or system level.

B. Use the skill, intuition and experience of the tester to derive the test cases, using error guessing and exploratory testing.

C. Use decision tables to generate the Boolean test conditions to be executed.

D. Establish traceability from test conditions back to the specifications and requirements.

Correct Answer: B

Question 3

What is decision table testing?

A. It's a static test design technique.

B. It's a testing design technique to verify decisions.

C. It's a testing design technique based in the internal software structure.

D. It's a testing design technique based in the system requirements.

Correct Answer: D

Question 4

Which of the following errors CANNOT be found with structure-based testing techniques?

A. Division by zero

B. Data structures that are used before initialization

C. Memory is leaking

D. Features are only partially implemented

Correct Answer: C

Question 5

What content would be in an incident report if that incident report was based on the IEEE 829 Standard for SoftwareTest Documentation?
(i)Identification of configuration items of the software or system.
(ii)Software or system lifecycle process in which the incident was observed.
(iii)Description of the anomaly to enable reproduction of the incident.
(iv)Number of occurrences of the incident.
(v)Classification of the cause of the incident for metrics and for reporting purposes.
Number of correct answers: 1

A. i, ii, iii

B. i, iii, iv

C. ii, iii

D. i, ii, iii, v

Correct Answer: A

Question 6

Which of the following activities is appropriate to the test planning stage?

A. Designing the test environments

B. Assigning resources for the planned activities

C. Analysing the test basis

D. Writing a test execution schedule

Correct Answer: B

Question 7

Testing should provide sufficient information to stakeholders to make informed decisions about the release of the software or system being tested. At which of the following fundamental test process activity the sufficiency of the testing and the resulting information are assessed?

A. Requirements specification

B. Evaluating exit criteria and reporting.

C. Analysis and design

D. Implementation and execution

Correct Answer: B

Question 8

Which of the test cases below will exercise both outcomes from decision 2? [K3] Refer to the exhibit

A. P = 36, Q = 36, P=37, Q=35

B. P = 37, Q = 36, P=35, Q=36

C. P = 42, Q = 43, P=42, Q=42

D. P = 24, Q = 20, P=24, Q=25

Correct Answer: A

Question 9

A Software was re-deployed because the backend database was changed from one vendor to another The Test Manager decided to perform some functional tests on the redeployed system. This is an example of test of which test type?

A. Regression tests

B. Non-functional tests

C. Structural tests

D. Unit tests

Correct Answer: A

Question 10

Given the following requirement:

Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

A. 7 and 13 are boundary values for the equivalence partition including age 10.

B. A minimum of 6 valid test cases are derived from boundary value analysis based on input age

C. $3.01 is a valid output boundary value

D. Thursday is a valid input boundary value

Correct Answer: A

Question 11

Which from the following list are typically found to enable the review process to be successful? [K2] a. Each review has clear defined objectives b. The lower the number of defects, the better the review process c. The right people for the review objective are involved d. There is an emphasis on learning and process improvement e. Management are not involved in the process at all f. Checklists should not be used, as these slow down the process g. Defects found are welcomed and expressed objectively

A. d, e and g.

B. a, c and d.

C. a, f and g.

D. b, c and f.
