ISTQB 1

One of the test goals for your project is to have 100% decision coverage. The following three tests have been executed for the control flow graph shown below.

 

Test A covers path: A, B, D, E, G

Test B covers path: A, B, D, E, F, G

Test C covers path: A, C, F, C, F, C, F, G

• Decision D has not been tested completely.

• 100% decision coverage has been achieved

• Decision E has not been tested completely

• Decision F has not been tested completely

Which of the following statements about the given state transition diagram and table of test cases is TRUE?

• The given test cases can be used to derive both valid and invalid transitions in the state transition diagram.

• The given test cases represent all possible valid transitions in the state transition diagram

• The given test cases represent only some of the valid transitions in the state transition diagram

• The given test cases represent sequential pairs of transitions in the state transition diagram

You have started specification-based software testing. The system under test calculates the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two integers (A and B) greater than zero. [K3]

 

calcGCD (A, B);

 

The following test inputs have been specified.

Where INT_MAX is the largest Integer.

 

Which test technique has been applied in order to determine test cases 1 through 6?

• Boundary Value Analysis

• State Transition Testing

• Use Case Testing

• Decision Table Testing

A company's employees are paid bonuses if they work more than a year in the company and achieve individually agreed targets.

Which test cases could be eliminated in the above decision table because the test case wouldn't occur in a real situation?

• T1 and T2

• T3 and T4

• T7 and T8

• T5 and T6

As a Test Manager, you have the following requirements to test: 

R1 - Process Anomalies

R2 - Synchronization

R3 - Confirmation

R4 - Issues

R5 - Financial Data

R6 - Diagram Data

R7 - Changes to the User Profile

The notation to indicate any Requirement's logical dependencies is, for example, "R1->R3" meaning that R3 is dependent on R1

Which of the following options structures the test execution schedule according to the requirement dependencies?

• R3 -> R2 -> R1 -> R7 -> R5 -> R6 -> R4

• R2 -> R5 -> R6 -> R4 -> R7 -> R1 -> R3

• R1 -> R3 -> R2 -> R5 -> R6 -> R4 -> R7

• R1 -> R2 -> R5 -> R6 -> R3 -> R4-> R7

Which of the following statements BEST describes one of the seven key principles of software testing?

• Automated tests avoid exhaustive testing better than manual tests

• With sufficient effort and tool support, exhaustive testing is feasible for all software

• It is normally impossible to test all input output combinations for a software system

• The purpose of testing is to demonstrate the absence of defects

Which of the following statements is the MOST valid goal for a test team?

• To determine whether enough component tests were executed within system testing

• To detect as many failures as possible so that defects can be identified and corrected

• To prove that all defects are identified

• To prove that any remaining defect will not cause any failures

Which of these tasks would you expect to be performed during the Test Analysis and Design phase of the Fundamental Test Process?

• Defining test objectives

• Reviewing the test basis

• Creating test suites from test procedures

• Analyzing lessons learned for process improvement

Below is a list of problems that can be observed during testing or in production. Which of these problems is a failure?

• The product crashed when the user selected an option in a dialog box

• One source code file included in the build has the wrong version

• The computation algorithm used wrong input variables

• The developer misinterpreted the requirement for the algorithm

Which of the following attitudes, qualifications or actions would lead to problems (or conflict) within mixed teams of testers and developers, when observed in reviews and tests?

• Testers and developers are curious and focused on finding defects

• Testers and developers are sufficiently qualified to find failures and defects

• Testers and developers communicate defects as criticism of people, not as criticism of the software product

• Testers expect that there might be defects in the software product which the developers have not found and fixed
