ISTQB SAMPLE EXAM QUESTION:

Which of the following BEST describes how using checklist-based testing can result in increased coverage?

• Checklist items can be defined at a sufficiently low level of detail, so the tester can implement and execute detailed test cases based on these items

  
  

• Checklists can be automated, so each time an automated test execution covers the checklist items, it results in additional coverage

  
  

• Each checklist item should be tested separately and independently, so the elements cover different areas of the software

  
  

• Two testers designing and executing tests based on the same high-level checklist items will typically perform the testing in slightly different ways
