Free ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level Exam CTFL-Foundation Exam Practice Test

Tests are prioritized so that:

• You shorten the time required for testing
• You do the best testing in the time available
• You do more effective testing
• You find more faults

Which of the following represents good testing practice for testers, irrespective of the software lifecycle model used?

• They should start test analysis when the corresponding development level is complete
• They should be involved in reviewing requirements or user stories as soon as drafts are available
• They should ensure that the same test objectives apply to each test level
• They should minimize the ratio of development levels to test levels to reduce project costs

Which of these are objectives for software testing?

• Determine the productivity of programmers
• Eliminate the need for future program maintenance
• Eliminate every error prior to release
• Uncover software errors

What is static analysis?

• The decision between using white or black box test techniques.
• Executing software to validate the most common path through the code.
• A technique to find defects in software source code and software models, performed without executing code.
• It is a testing technique used during system testing.

During the software development process, at what point can the test process start?

• When the code is complete.
• When the design is complete.
• When the software requirements have been approved.
• When the first code module is ready for unit testing

Which of the following is NOT a valid use of decision coverage?

• Checking that all decisions have been exercised in a single program
• Checking that all decisions have been exercised in a business process
• Checking that all calls from one program module to another have been made correctly
• Checking that at least 50% of decisions have been exercised by a test case suite

Which of the following is a benefit of test independence?

• It does not require familiarity with the code.
• It is cheaper than using developers to test their own code.
• It avoids author bias in defining effective tests.
• Testers are better at finding defects than developers.

Consider the following pseudo code:

• Begin
• Input X, Y
• If X > Y
• Print (X, ‘is greater than’, Y)
• Else
• Print (Y, is greater than or equal to’, X)
• EndIf
• EndWhat is the minimum number of test cases required to guarantee both 100% statement coverage and 100% decision coverage?
• Statement coverage = 3, Decision coverage = 3
• Statement coverage = 2, Decision coverage = 2
• Statement coverage = 1, Decision coverage = 2
• Statement coverage = 2, Decision coverage = 1

Which of the following test design techniques is classified as a structure-based (white box) technique? [K1]

• Exploratory testing
• Decision table testing
• State transition testing
• Statement testing
