ISTQB ISTQB-CTAL-TA Actual Free Exam Questions & Community Discussion

A web-based system is being developed to support the administration of tennis tournaments.
The system provides advice on how much money to offer each player as their individual attendance fee.
The amount depends on a combination of the following factors:
* Overall attendance fund (divided into five numeric ranges)
* Player's current world ranking (divided into ten numeric ranges)
* Whether it is a local tournament for the player (YES or NO)
* Their relationship with the tournament sponsors (clothing, equipment, or endorsement)
* Their previous attendance history at this event (finalist, played, withdrew before event, or withdrew during event) It has been noted that the attendance fee calculation does not take account of 'last minute' invitations that are made to replace a player who withdraws close to the tournament start date. In this case, enhanced attendance fees are offered depending on whether the invitation is made within a week, a fortnight, or a month of the tournament start date.
Which of the following specification-based techniques would be the BEST choice for testing the 'last minute' scenario where players are replaced close to the tournament start, and what type of defect is being targeted by the testing?
SELECT ONE OPTION:

Which TWO of the following BEST explain why stakeholders should review and understand test conditions and test cases?
a) To make sure that the requirements have been understood by the testers b) To ensure that adequate coverage of the test basis has been achieved by the tests c) To ensure that the project remains on schedule, as testing is a key activity d) To assess the skills and talent of the test analysts e) To enable the test manager to select the best test approaches in the project test plan SELECT ONE OPTION

To enhance both the effectiveness and efficiency of the test design phase, the purchase of a test design tool is being considered. Which one of these statements best characterizes a test design tool?

Consider the following requirement:
The system shall allow cash advances of at least 200 Euros for all supported credit cards The following credit cards are supported- American Express, Diners, VISA, Mastercard and Eurocard.
The requirement has been identified as business critical.
The following test conditions have been derived:
1. The system shall allow cash advances of at least 200 Euros
2. It shall support American Express, Diners, VISA, Mastercard and Eurocard.
Assume you are following a risk-based testing strategy, where likelihood and impact are both assessed on a five-point scale ranging from very low to very high The requirement R1 was identified as a risk item during the quality risk analysis process. In total 20 risk items were identified during this process Assume that technical project stakeholders have assessed the likelihood of the requirement R1 risk item at a medium level Given only the information above, which of the following statements is true?

What are ways in which classification trees support the application of pairwise testing?
a. They help to identify inputs to be used by the pairwise test technique b. They show the combinations needed to cover all-pairs c. They help to identify particular combinations of interest d. They show both typical and atypical behavior e. They show the expected results for the various test cases

Supercar.
Supercar is an online vehicle sales website specializing in a single manufacturer's Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and saloons A vehicle has two key elements, power unit and body style The manufacturer offers three choices of power unit: petrol, electric and hybrid There are 3 main body styles Saloon, Hatchback and SUV.

Hybrid is available for Hatchback only The website will allow an order to be processed if the chosen vehicle configuration is in stock, otherwise a message will be displayed asking the user to Cry again later. Based on the specification, the following classification tree has been developed:

Which test case is needed to complete the test set and achieve minimum class coverage?

Ken finds the quality of the tea locally available to be so low, that he decides to research superior teas around the world. He decides to market, sell and distribute these superior teas via the web. His marketing strategy is to offer superior products on a well-designed website that has fast loading graphics, high availability, superior usability and fast response times. The website will offer the following:
- An innovative interactive catalogue of teas, which not only enables customers to buy the product, but also enables them to provide feedback by rating the teas (which will influence his stock purchasing levels).
- Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactions.
- Provide the customer with the ability to give general feedback.
Ken selects an iterative model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers who are experienced in web development Ken, although he doesn't have a technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentation is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly. The test basis contains the following:
- Story boards that show the information flow and page links through the site.
- HTML pages developed to date
- A set of non-functional requirements.
With the strategy taking shape, it is decided that exploratory testing should be used to complete the required testing, bearing in mind the nature of the application and the nature of Ken's overall objectives. You have now been given the task of identifying the exploratory tests, which will be executed as test sessions.
Which of the options below state what you will typically use for identifying the exploratory tests?

When would the Test Analyst's involvement in an Agile project normally start?
