ISTQB ISTQB-CTAL-TA - ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Analyst (CTAL-TACore)v3.1.2

You work for an insurance company that is running several parallel projects. You need to recommend the best approach for test case design for each project.

Project C:Previous releases hadvague and inconsistent requirements. More formal reviews have been introduced to improve quality.

Project D:Emphasis onregression testing, with most test cases forming part of the regression pack, initially manual but planned for automation.

You work for a company that is a pioneer in smart energy technology. One of their core products is their energy monitor in-home display device, used to display current and historic energy consumption data to many thousands of customers. It has been designed to integrate with their other smart home products, including domestic lighting control systems via their HomeHub.

The company is to launch a new application for smartphones and tablets that will allow its customers to view their energy readings remotely and to view their daily budget usage based on seasonal historic data. The application must also support customers with disabilities.

The application is being delivered using a hybrid mix of agile and V-model methodologies over three iterations:

Iteration 1:Development of the new application to work on the IOS operating system only

Iteration 2:Enhancement to the application to also work on the Android operating system

Iteration 3:Enhancement to the application to provide daily budget usage

The test manager has provided you with a list of high-level test conditions and has asked you, as Test Analyst, to select the test conditions that address functional suitability, portability, usability, and accessibility for Iteration 1 only. Which TWO of the following test conditions should you select?

a) The application will accept voice recognition commands made via IOS devices

b) The application is both learnable and operable for customers when used on Android devices

c) There is no loss or corruption of data transmitted between the energy monitor and other smart-home products

d) The daily budget usage is accurately calculated from seasonal historic data running on Android

e) The application can be installed on all currently supported versions of IOS for all supported smartphones and tablets

Return Item Use Case: The following depicts a main path through the use case, 'Return Item'.

Coverage Rules:

One test case for basic behavior

Multiple alternate behaviors may be incorporated into one test case if mutually compatible

Nested alternate behaviors (like retry attempts) should be amalgamated into a single test case

How many test cases should be designed?

Consider the following user story: As a student, I want to be able to buy a parking pass (priority: high) Acceptance criteria

- The student will not receive the parking pass if the payment is insufficient.

- Only registered students can buy a parking pass.

- The student can only buy one parking pass each month.

Which of the following checklist items would result in finding a defect for the user story?

As a Test Analyst you are involved in the early stages of an acceptance test for a Product Data Management system. You are asked to write test designs and test cases based on use cases. An earlyversion of the system is already available. It is expected that many things will change (including the user interface) during implementation of the new version.

The tests will be conducted by end-users with much domain knowledge who have also been involved in the project defining the user requirements (in the format of use cases) and reviewing other documentation.

What Is the BEST option regarding the level of detail and documentation required for test cases in the project?

How many cases are required to test the tax system specification as described below, using a decision table which is not collapsed?

Tax system

A tax system needs to be updated due to new legislation. For a person with a salary of less than € 20.000 and who is married, the tax needs to be recalculated. If the person also has more than two and less than five children, an additional 10% reduction is applicable.

A tablet manufacturer offers the following options for its customers:

Colour:Black, White, Silver, Gold (4 options)

Model:Standard, Mini, Pro (3 options)

Gigabytes:32, 64, 128, 256 (4 options)

Connectivity:Wifi-only, Wifi+Cellular (2 options)

Using the pairwise technique, what is the MINIMUM number of test cases needed to achieve a full 2-wise coverage?

You work for an insurance company with parallel projects. You need to recommend the best approach for test case design for each project.

Project A:Maintenance release with minor UI changes, experienced testers, manual execution.

Project B:Development of a new algorithm for risk assessment, high risk of regression, automation needed, audit required.

An airline provides self-service check-in kiosks for its passengers. The user is asked to present the passport for reading, enter the flight booking number, the seats requested, the number of bags to check-in, and acknowledge that security requirements have been met. The machine then prints the boarding passes.

The following use case has been created:

USE CASE: SELF-SERVICE CHECK-IN

Use case ID:UC23

Purpose:Passenger checks-in using the self-service kiosk application.

Actors:Passenger, System

Pre-conditions:User selects to start self-service check-in at the kiosk and the system asks the user to place the passport on the reader.

You are to apply the Use Case test technique, where the following coverage rules have been defined in the test plan:

One test case should be designed for the basic behavior.

One test case should be designed for each alternate and error-handling behavior.

Applying these rules to the Self-Service Check-In Use Case, how many test cases should be designed?
