ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level CTFL-Foundation Exam Questions
Question 1
The Cambrian Pullman Express has special ticketing requirements represented by the partial decision table below.
Refer to the exhibit
Carol has a student railcard and is travelling on a Flexible Standard Class ticket. James has a senior railcard and is travelling on a super saver ticket. Which of the options represents the correct actions for these two test cases? [K3]
Answer : A
From the decision table:
Carol has a student railcard and a Flexible Standard Class ticket, which means she is eligible to upgrade.
James has a senior railcard and a Super Saver ticket, which means he cannot use the service as per the conditions specified in the table.
Question 2
Which TWO of the following test tools would be classified as test execution tools? [K2]
a. Test data preparation tools
b. Test harness
c. Review tools
d. Test comparators
e. Configuration management tools
Answer : D
Test execution tools include tools that directly assist in the execution of tests and comparison of actual outcomes with predicted outcomes. A test harness (b) is used to execute tests by providing the necessary context and data inputs for running a test. Test comparators (d) are used to compare the actual results produced by the system under test with the expected results, which is a key part of test execution.
Question 3
A new system is about to be developed. Which of the following functions has the highest level of risk?
Answer : D
The highest level of risk is calculated by considering both the likelihood of failure and the impact value. Risk can be quantified as the product of these two factors:
A: 20% * 100,000 = 20,000
B: 10% * 150,000 = 15,000
C: 1% * 500,000 = 5,000
D: 2% * 200,000 = 4,000
Therefore, Option A (20% likelihood of failure and 100,000 impact value) represents the highest risk value. Reference: ISTQB CTFL Syllabus V4.0, Section 5.2.3 .
Question 4
Which of the following test organizations has the highest level of independence?
Answer : C
The highest level of independence in testing is achieved by having independent test specialists who focus on specific test types such as usability, performance, or certification testing. This independence helps in unbiased defect detection and evaluation, minimizing cognitive biases that might affect testers who are closer to the development process.
Question 5
Why is independent testing important? [K1]
Answer : C
Independent testing is crucial because independent testers can provide an unbiased perspective and verify the assumptions made during the specification and implementation phases. This helps in identifying defects that might be overlooked by developers who are closely involved in the creation of the system.
Question 6
Incorrect form of Logic coverage is:
Answer : B
Logic coverage includes different forms such as Statement Coverage, Condition Coverage, and Path Coverage. Pole Coverage is not a recognized form of logic coverage in software testing. The three correct forms measure different aspects of the code's logic to ensure thorough testing. Reference: ISTQB CTFL Syllabus V4.0, Section 4.3.1.
Question 7
What are the key features to be concentrated upon when doing a testing forworld wide web sites ..?
Answer : D
When testing worldwide web sites, it is crucial to focus on several key features:
A . Interaction between HTML pages to ensure that navigation and link functionalities work correctly.
B . Performance on the client side to make sure that the website loads efficiently and performs well under different conditions.
C . Security aspects to protect the website and its users from potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
These combined aspects ensure that the website provides a good user experience, performs well, and remains secure.
