ASTQB ISTQB Advanced Level CTAL Exam Practice Test

XYZ Company develops websites for individual users / companies. The testing team tests each build of the software once development releases it. Once testers complete the testing, they also work on coding the next build of the software. All testers and developers report to project manager. What type of independency is achieved above as per ISTQB syllabus?

The aircrew of a national air defence force has requested changes to the existing aviation software that provides on-board information about the combat environment. The air force is currently engaged in a peace-keeping mission in another country and has come under unexpected threats. The development life cycle is the V model. The software house needs to change their test management process to ensure delivery at the right time and quality. The software changes are coming in as the aircrew request them, as a result of their engagements with hostile forces. The aircrew have requested that the changes are made as quickly as possible. The project manager has decided to revisit the test management process. The changes will come as small change requests. The team have worked on the project for over 25 years, with little staff turnover. Which of the following test measures should be emphasised during the crisis?

I . Readiness of the test environment for each run.

II . Number of high-priority defects being found.

III . Number of defects being found per tester.

IV . Number of hours overtime being worked by staff.

V . Number of change requests tested versus number passed.

What type of a review meeting is described below?

"You were invited to attend a meeting next week. Meeting moderator included set of metrics and a document to be reviewed along with the meeting agenda. One of the meeting agendas is to find defects in the document sent. You and the other attendees were asked to review the document prior to the meeting".

A development house (DH) uses the V model for its projects. It delivers systems to the energy industry. In response to consumer demands, DH has been asked to create an online system for consumers to switch energy suppliers easily. There are already offerings in the marketplace for this service, but DH thinks it can provide a service which is easier to use. It will request more detailed information on homes and occupant lifestyles in order to accurately predict likely bills per quarter, and will update users if a cheaper tariff becomes available. For this new service, the specifications have been defined, code has been created, and system testing is about to start. Which of the following would form part of the entry criteria into unit testing (which will be followed by integration testing)?

I . 100 per cent decision coverage of all tariff calculations.

II . Signed-off program specification.

III . Signed-off technical specification.

IV . 100 per cent program specification coverage.

V . Compiled code.

According to the ISTQB syllabus, domain testing quality attributes are;

I . Accuracy, Suitability, Interoperability

II . Reliability, Maintainability, Portability

III . Performance, load, Adaptability

Software Testers in a software development company installed the new release on test systems and started the testing phase. Testers verified the new functionality, performed necessary security testing and completed planned regression tests. During the last week of testing, testers noticed that the memory utilization was more than 95% on two of the test servers (out of 4 servers). This behavior was not observed during the first weeks of the testing phase. As a test analyst, what would you do?

A Car sales company is financing their customers' vehicles. Financing interest rates are as follows:

(I) For all motorcycles:

a. Customer Credit score 300 - 550

# Annual income US$ 40K-80K - Interest rate 15%

# Annual income US$ 81K-100K- Interest rate 12 %

# Annual income US $ 101K or more - Interest rate 9 %

b. Customer Credit score 551- 680

# Annual income US$ 40K-80K - Interest rate 12%

# Annual income US$ 81K-100K- Interest rate 9 %

# Annual income US $ 101K or more - Interest rate 7 %

c. Customer Credit score 681 or more

# Annual income US$ 40K-80K - Interest rate 10%

# Annual income US$ 81K-100K-Interest rate 6

# Annual income US $ 101K or more - Interest rate 5 %

(II) For all other vehicles the interest rate is 1 % less (from the values given above) for each category mentioned.

a) Ex: Customer Credit score 300 - 550

Annual income US$ 40K-80K - Interest rate 14% and so on.

What is the minimum number of test cases required to test the above application? (Hint: derive test cases using decision table technique using the decision table described in
