ISTQB 4.0 D

Which of the following is a typical test objective?

• Finding and fixing defects in the test object

• Maintaining effective communications with developers

• Validating that legal requirements have been met

• Building confidence in the quality of the test object

A designer documents a design for a user interface that does not suitably address disabled users because the designer is tired. The programmer implements the user interface in line with the design but as they are working under severe time pressure, they do not include suitable exception handling in their program code for bonus calculations. When the operational system is used, complaints are made by some disabled users about the interface and the company is subsequently fined by the relevant regulatory authority. No one notices that bonus calculations are sometimes incorrect.

• The miscalculation of bonuses is a defect that occasionally occurs

• The fine received for failing to address some disabled users is a failure

• The programmer working under severe time pressure is a root cause

• The design of the user interface includes a designer error

High-level test conditions are being used by testers to generate test cases and execute tests. Even though the test conditions remain the same, the test cases are varied each time. Which of the following ‘principles of testing’ is being addressed through the variation of test cases?

• Tests wear out

• Absence-of-defects fallacy

• Early testing saves time and money

• Defects cluster together

• 1B, 2A, 3D, 4C

• 1B, 2D, 3C, 4A

• 1C, 2A, 3B, 4D

• 1C, 2D, 3A, 4B

• ii, iv

• iii, v

• i, ii, v

• i, iii, iv

Which of the following is MOST likely to describe a task performed by someone in a test management role?

• Evaluate test basis and test object

• Define test environment requirements

• Assess testability of test object

• Create test completion report

Which of the following is an advantage of the whole team approach?

• Improved communication between team members

• Decreased individual accountability for quality

• Faster deployment of deliverables to the end users

• Reduced collaboration with external business users

• i, iv

• ii, v

• i, iii, iv

• ii, iii, v

Which of the following is a good testing practice that applies to all software development lifecycles?

• Each test level has specific and distinct test objectives

• Test implementation and execution for a given test level should start during the corresponding development phase

• Testers should start test design as soon as drafts of the relevant work products become available

• Every dynamic testing activity has a corresponding static testing activity

Which of the following is an example of a test-first approach to development?

• Behavior-Driven Development

• Test Level Driven Development

• Function-Driven Development

• Performance-Driven Development
