Free ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level Exam CTFL_Syll2018 Exam Practice Test

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of good testing, independent of the development life cycle model?

• Each test level has objectives specific for the test level
• Testers are involved in reviewing documents as soon as drafts are available
• Every development activity is matched by a corresponding testing activity.
• Testers are involved in reviewing documents as soon the documents are approved.

When can functional and structural testing BOTH be applied?

• System and Component test levels only
• All 'Developement' test levels, i.e. those before Acceptance testing
• Component and Component integration test levels only
• All test levels

Which of the following statements about static analysis are FALSE?I . Static analysis can be used instead of dynamic testing.II Static analysis can uncover defects like security vulnerabilities.III . Static analysis can be used to check conformance to specifications and standards.IV. Static analysis typically detects failures prior to component testing.

• II . Ill
• I . IV
• I . II
• III . IV

The four test levels used in ISTQB syllabus are:Component (unit) testing2 Integration testing3. System testing4 Acceptance testingAn organization wants to do away with integration testing but otherwise follow V-model.Which of the following statements is correct?

• It is allowed because integration testing is not an important test level and can be dispensed with
• It is not allowed as organizations can't change the test levels as these are chosen on the basis of the SDLC (software development life cycle) model
• It is allowed as organizations can decide on which test levels to do depending on the context of the system under test
• It is not allowed because integration testing is a very important test level and ignoring it means definite poor product quality

When an organization considers the use of testing tools, they should:

• Use a tool in order to help define a good test process because the tool will force process repeatability and therefore enforce good test process.
• Always start by bringing in automated test execution tools as these tools have the greatest return on investment and therefore should be introduced first.
• Perform analysis of the test process and then assess whether it can be supported through the introduction of tool support.
• Allow the developers to select the testing tools because tools are technical and developers have the appropriate skills to advise on test tool selection and configuration.

Which of the following options BEST explain the pesticide paradox principle of testing?

• If we do not regularly review and revise our tests, we'll stop finding defects
• Repeatedly running a set of tests will ensure that a system is defect free
• Defects are, paradoxically, often contained in a small number of modules
• Testing, like spraying pesticide, is an effective bug / defect removal activity

A team's test strategy was to invest equal effort in testing each of a system's modules. After running one test cycle, it turned out that most of the critical bugs were detected in one of the system's modules.Which testing principal suggests a change to the current test strategy for the next test cycle?

• Defect clustering
• Early testing
• Pesticide Paradox
• Absence-of-errors fallacy

What is a test condition?

• A statement of test objectives and test ideas on how to test.
• An item or event that could be verified by one or more test cases.
• The process of identifying differences between the actual results and the expected results for a test.
• All documents from which the requirements of a component or system can be inferred.

A holiday club restricts those booking the holiday, to people between the ages of 18 and 30 inclusive.Using three-point boundary values, what ages would be required to test the lower and upper boundary?

• 17, 18, 19, 30, 31, 32.
• 18, 19, 20, 28, 29, 30.
