ISTQB Exam B
b) A set of preconditions, inputs, actions, expected results and postconditions,
developed based on test conditions - answer Which of the following provides the
definition of the term test case?
a) Subset of the value domain of a variable within a component or system in which all
values are expected to be treated the same based on the specification
b) A set of preconditions, inputs, actions, expected results and postconditions,
developed based on test conditions
c) Work products produced during the test process for use in planning, designing,
executing, evaluating and reporting on testing
d) A source to determine an expected result to compare with the actual result of the
system under test
a) To find defects and failures - answer Which of the following is a typical objective of
testing?
a) To find defects and failures
b) To validate the project plan works as required
c) Ensuring of complete testing
Comparing actual results with expected results
c) The system stops maintaining a set speed when the radio volume is increased or
decreased - answerWhich of the following is an example of a failure in a car cruise
control system?
a) The developer of the system forgot to rename variables after a cut-and-paste
operation
b) Unnecessary code that sounds an alarm when reversing was included in the system
c) The system stops maintaining a set speed when the radio volume is increased or
decreased
The design specification for the system wrongly states speeds
c) An incorrect configuration variable implemented for the GPS function could cause
location problems during daylight saving times - answerWhich of the following is a
defect rather than a root cause in a fitness tracker?
a) Because the author of the requirements was unfamiliar with the domain of fitness
training, he therefore wrongly assumed that users wanted heartbeat in beats per hour
b) The tester of the smartphone interface had not been trained in state transition testing,
so missed a major defect
, c) An incorrect configuration variable implemented for the GPS function could cause
location problems during daylight saving times
d) Because the designer had never worked on wearable devices before, she as
designer of the user interface therefore misunderstood the effects of reflected sunlight
d) Defects cluster - answerAs a result of risk analysis, more testing is being directed to
those areas of the system under test where initial testing found more defects than
average.
Which of the following testing principles is being applied?
a) Beware of the pesticide paradox
b) Testing is context dependent
c) Absence-of-errors is a fallacy
d) Defects cluster
a) A-2, B-3, C-4, D-1 - answerGiven the following test activities and tasks:
A. Test design
B. Test implementation
C. Test execution
D. Test completion
1. Entering change requests for open defect reports
2. Identifying test data to support the test cases

c) A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1
d) A-3, B-2, C-1, D-4
b) It is possible to determine if a new test case has increased coverage of the
requirements - answerWhich of the following BEST describes how value is added by
maintaining traceability between the test basis and test artifacts?
a) Maintenance testing can be fully automated based on changes to the initial
requirements
b) It is possible to determine if a new test case has increased coverage of the
requirements
c) Test managers can identify which testers found the highest severity defects
d) Areas that may be impacted by side-effects of a change can be targeted by
confirmation testing
