ISTQB (ISTQB CTAL-TA) ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Analyst (Syllabus 2012) - ISTQB-CTAL-TA Exam Practice Test

A. Functional completeness is performed as the last stage of testing; Functional correctness can be undertaken at any test level and often uses the specification or legacy system as a test oracle

B. Functional appropriateness testing is usually undertaken during system testing (but also during the later stages of integration testing); functional correctness testing can be conducted at any test level

C. Functional completeness for system integration may focus on high-level business cases; functional appropriateness is usually performed prior to system testing

D. Functional correctness testing is only performed at the system test level; functional completeness is performed at the system integration testing stage

A. The checklist-based technique is most effective when applied by experienced testers; black-box techniques are most effective applied against a well-specified test basis

B. Checklist-based testing derives tests from lists which focus on defects; black-box techniques find defects through systematic test case design

C. Checklists should only be used as a source of test design for inexperienced testers; requirement specifications are often used as the basis for applying black-box techniques

D. The checklist-based technique produces consistent, reproducible test cases; test cases produced by black-box techniques are less systematic

A. a, e

B. a, d

C. c, e

D. b, d

A. Finalizing test data and test environments

B. Analysing anomalies to establish their likely causes

C. Creating automated tests

D. Creating a test execution schedule

A. Run the test case manually to see if the failure lies in the System Under Test (SUT). If the test fails manually, raise a defect report

B. Remove the test case from the regression suite and convert it to a manual test to reduce further impact on project schedules

C. Examine the sequence of tests that led up to the failure to determine if the problem occurred in a previous step

D. Ask the technical test analyst to review the keyword script(s), as this is a new keyword and is the most likely cause of failure

A. Heuristic evaluation

B. State transition testing

C. Multiple condition testing

D. Vulnerability scan

A. A test design tool enables tests to be executed automatic ally.

B. A test design tool generates test inputs from requirements

C. A test design tool enables individual tests to be traced to requirements

D. A test design tool validates models of the software.

A. State transition testing using 1-switch coverage

B. Classification tree technique

C. Equivalence partitioning

D. Pairwise testing

A. Usability testing

B. Functional correctness testing

C. Interoperability testing
