ISTQB FOUNDATION 4.0 | Tutorial 9

Which of the following statements describe a valid test objective?

• To prove that there will be no failures after the implementation of the system into production

• To reduce the risk level of the test object and to build confidence in the quality level

• To verify that there are no untested combinations of inputs

• To prove that there are no unfixed defects in the system under test

Your manager is happy that no changes have been made to existing regression test cases for several iterations. Which testing principle explains your skepticism?

• Defects cluster together

• Tests wear out

• Exhaustive testing is impossible

• Absence of error fallacy

Which of the following factors have a significant influence on the test process?

• SDLC

• New regulatory requirements forcing formal white box testing

• Number of defects detected in previous projects

• Identified product risk

What is the principle that states testing is just to show the presence of defects but cannot prove the absence of defects?

• Absence of error fallacy

• Defects cluster together

• Exhaustive testing is impossible

• Tests wear out

In an agile environment, why is it important to revise regression test cases?

• To avoid the pesticide paradox and ensure effective testing

• To prove that there will be no failures after the implementation of the system into production

• To prove that there are no unfixed defects in the system under test

• To reduce the risk level of the test object and to build confidence in the quality level

What is the term used to describe the situation where using the same test cases repeatedly may not be effective as the product evolves?

• Absence of error fallacy

• Tests wear out

• Defects cluster together

• Exhaustive testing is impossible

Which principle emphasizes that exhaustive testing is impossible?

• Absence of error fallacy

• Tests wear out

• Defects cluster together

• Exhaustive testing is impossible

What is the key contributor to the overall test process when considering identified product risks?

• SDLC

• Number of defects detected in previous projects

• Identified product risk

• New regulatory requirements forcing formal white box testing

Which factor is essential to consider in the test process to comply with new regulatory requirements?

• New regulatory requirements forcing formal white box testing

• Identified product risk

• Number of defects detected in previous projects

• SDLC

Why is it important to mitigate identified product risks in the test process?

• To reduce the risk level of the test object and to build confidence in the quality level

• To ensure the product meets regulatory requirements and standards

• To prove that there are no unfixed defects in the system under test

• To prove that there will be no failures after the implementation of the system into production
