Exam 3: ISTQB-ISEB Certified Tester Foundation Level (BH0-010)

An automated air-conditioner is programmed to turn its heating unit on when the temperature falls below 17 and to turn its refrigeration unit on when the temperature exceeds 26. The air-conditioner is designed to operate at temperatures between -10 and +40. Given the above specification, the temperature exceeds 26. The air-conditioner is designed to operate at temperatures between -10 and +40? Given the above specification, which of the following sets of values shows that the equivalence partition test design technique has been used correctly?

The list below (a to e) describes one major task for each of the five main activities of the fundamental test process. Which option (A to D) places the tasks in the correct order, by time? a) Create bi-directional traceability between test basis and test cases. b) Check test logs against exit criteria. c) Define the objectives of testing. d) Check planned deliverables have been delivered. e) Comparing actual results with expected results.

Which of the following are characteristic of test management tools? a) They support traceability of tests to source documents. b) They provide an interface to test execution tools. c) They help to enforce coding standards. d) They manipulate databases and files to set up test data.

For which of the following is Impact Analysis ESPECIALLY important?

Which of the following activities should be performed during the selection and implementation of a testing tool? a) Determine whether the organization existing test process needs to change. b) Conduct a proof of concept. c) Implement the selected tool on a project behind schedule to save time. d) Identify coaching and mentoring requirements for the use of the selected tool

Which of the following BEST describes a keyword-driven testing approach?

What is the MAIN benefit of designing tests early in the life cycle?

The above table shows 6 test procedures (P to U) that must now be entered into a test execution schedule. Business severity is regarded as the most important element in determining the sequence of the test procedures, but other dependencies must also be taken into consideration. Regression testing can only be run once all other tests have completed. Which of the following represents the MOST effective sequence for the test execution schedule (where the first entry in the sequence is the first procedure to be run, the second entry is the second to be run and so on)?

A wholesaler sells printer cartridges. The minimum order quantity is 5. There is a 20% discount for orders of 100 or more printer cartridges. You have been asked to prepare test cases using various values for the number of printer cartridges ordered. Which of the following groups contain three test inputs that would be generated using Boundary Value Analysis?

The flow graph below shows the logic of a program for which 100% statement coverage and 100% decision coverage is required on exit from component testing. The following test case has been run: Test Case 1 covering path A, B, D, G Which of the following ADDITIONAL test cases would need to be written to provide the required coverage?

Which of the following are characteristics of good testing in any life cycle model? a) Every development activity has a corresponding test activity. b) Testers review development documents early. c) There are separate levels for component and system integration test. d) Each test level has objectives specific to that level. e) Each test level is based on the same test basis.

Where may functional testing be performed?

Which of the following is a standard for test documentation?

Which of the following BEST describes a data-driven approach to the use of test execution tools?

Which of the following statements is true?

Which of the following statements is GENERALLY true of testing? a) Testing can show the presence of defects. b) Testing reduces the probability of uncovered defects. c) Testing can show that a previously present defect has been removed. d) Testing can prove that software is defect free.

When in the lifecycle should testing activities start?

Which of the following defects would NORMALLY be identified by a static analysis tool?

Which statement is a valid explanation as to why black-box test design techniques can be useful?

A program level Master Test Plan states that a number of best practices must be adopted for its project life cycle models, irrespective of whether a sequential or iterative-incremental approach is adopted for each project. Which of the following life cycle related best practices would you expect to see in the Master Test Plan? a) There should be a testing activity that corresponds to each development activity. b) Each project should have four test levels if using a V-model. c) Test personnel should ensure that they are invited to review requirements and design documents as soon as draft versions are available. d) System testing must not be performed by the development teams.
