ISTQB EXAM A
Which of the following provides the BEST description of a test case?
a) A document specifying a sequence of actions for the execution of a test. Also known
as test
script or manual test script.
b) A set of input values and expected results, with execution preconditions and
execution
postconditions, developed for a particular test condition.
c) An attribute of a system specified by requirements documentation (for example
reliability,
usability or design constraints) that is executed in a test.
d) An item or event of a system that could be verified by one or more test conditions,
e.g., a
function, transaction, feature, quality attribute, or structural element. - Answer
Which of the following is a major objective of testing?
a) To prevent defects.
b) To validate the project plan works as required.
c) To gain confidence in the development team.
d) To make release decisions for the system under test. - Answer
Which of the following is an example of a failure in a car cruise control system?
a) The developer of the system forgot to rename variables after a cut-and-paste
operation.
b) Unnecessary code that sounds an alarm when reversing was included in the system.
c) The system stops maintaining a set speed when the radio volume is increased or
decreased.
d) The design specification for the system wrongly states speeds in km/h. - Answer
Which of the following is a defect rather than a root cause in a fitness tracker?
a) Because he was unfamiliar with the domain of fitness training, the author of the
requirements
wrongly assumed that users wanted heartbeat in beats per hour.
b) The tester of the smartphone interface had not been trained in state transition testing,
so
missed a major defect.
c) An incorrect configuration variable implemented for the GPS function could cause
location
problems during daylight saving times.
