ISTQB Practice Exam 3 Questions and answers
100% Solved
FL-1.1.1 (K1) Identify typical test objective
#1. When the tester verifies the test basis while designing tests early in the
lifecycle, which test objective is being achieved?
a. Gaining confidence
b. Finding defects
c. Evaluating work products
d. Providing information for decision making - CORRECT ANSWER-C is correct
per the syllabus. The other three are achieved primarily by doing dynamic testing.
This is a bit tricky because you are very likely to find defects while doing this
analysis and this may lead to either gaining or destroying confidence and needing
to supply information to the decision makers. What is occurring here is an
evaluation of the work product, in this case the requirements.
FL-1.5.2 (K1) Recall the advantages of the whole team approach
,#2. In some Agile teams, people are encouraged to use their skills to help the team,
regardless of their role. This could mean that testers help the developers write code
and developers help testers test. What is this approach called?
a. Team Aid
b. Whole Team
c. Skills First
d. First Aid - CORRECT ANSWER-B is correct. This is an example of the Whole
Team approach where the team members leverage their skills, regardless of roles,
to accomplish the goals of the team.
#3. Which of the following is a correct statement?
a. A developer makes a mistake which causes a defect that may be seen as a failure
during dynamic testing
b. A developer makes an error which results in a failure that may be seen as a fault
when the software is executed
c. A developer has introduced a failure which results in a defect that may be seen
as a mistake during dynamic testing
d. A developer makes a mistake which causes a bug that may be seen as a defect
when the software is executed - CORRECT ANSWER-A is correct. The developer
makes a mistake/error which causes a defect/fault/bug which may cause a failure

, when the code is dynamically tested or executed. B is incorrect because fault and
failure are reversed. C is incorrect because failure and mistake are reversed. D is
incorrect because it's
FL-1.3.1 (K2) Explain the seven testing principles.
#4. Why is it important to avoid the principle of tests wearing out?
a. Dynamic testing is less reliable in finding bugs
b. Running the same tests repeatedly will consistently find new failures
c. Tests should not be context dependent
d. Running the same tests repeatedly will reduce the chance of finding new failures
- CORRECT ANSWER-D is correct. As tests are run repeatedly, the tests become
less effective. A is not correct because dynamic testing should be used and helps to
alleviate tests wearing out. B is not correct. The same tests do wear out. C is not
correct because testing should be context dependent.
FL-1.4.1 (K2) Summarize the different test activities and tasks
#5. When following a standard test process, when should the test control activity
take place?
a. During the planning activities
b. During the implementation and execution activities
c. During the monitoring activities
