ISTQB CTAL-TTA Actual Tests : Certified Tester Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst

Given the following decision: IF X < 5 OR Y > 10 THEN
Which of the following sets of test inputs will achieve full MC/DC coverage?

• A. X=5 and Y=8
  X=2 and Y=12
  X=4 and Y=4
• B. X=4 and Y=11
  X=7 and Y=10
• C. X=3 and Y=10
  X=5 and Y=15
  X=0 and Y=15
• D. X=4 and Y=7
  X=6 and Y=12
  X=5 and Y=10

Consider the pseudo code provided below:

Given the following tests, what additional test(s) (if any) would be needed in order to achieve 100% statement coverage, with the minimum number of tests?
Test 1: A = 7, B = 7, Expected output: 7
Test 2: A = 7, B = 5, Expected output: 5

• A. A=6, B=12, Expected output: Bingo! and A=7, B=9, Expected output: 7
• B. A=6, B=12, Expected output: Bingo!
• C. A=7, B=9, Expected output: 7
• D. No additional test cases are needed to achieve 100% statement coverage.

Which requirements engineering technique would BEST identify how different groups of users may interact with a system, helping to identify gaps and inconsistencies in a user story-' SELECT ONE OPTION

• A. Use Cases
• B. Personas
• C. Storyboards
• D. Story Mapping

Why might static analysis be used on an Agile project'
SELECT ONE OPTION

• A. To manually identify potential defects and thus avoid technical debt
• B. To clarify and simplify code design without changing its behavior
• C. To implement a test-driven approach at the component level
• D. To identify the causes of technical debt through the use of tools

A project to replace your company's sales and merchandising system has begun. The old system is still in production but is poorly documented and expensive to maintain: changing it has often produced a large quantity of defects. The new version will be developed using modern techniques and technology.
Requirements include:
* Loading sales data, sent electronically from the stores each evening, into a central database where it is then available for other applications.
* Producing sales reports for the merchandisers, whose job is to manage stock levels in stores.
* Predictions of future demand for each product, based on a combination of sales history and forecasting parameters.
Requirements 1 and 2 are satisfied by the existing system and will be rewritten with no significant changes.
Requirement 3 is new: these forecasting reports will be run overnight, and users will request them by entering simple parameters online during the day.
The sales data are loaded in an overnight batch run. There have been problems at peak periods when this run has taken longer than scheduled, so that dependent jobs could not finish before the start of the working day.
As a Technical Test Analyst, you have been asked to contribute to the project's Master Test Plan. The concerns expressed by stakeholders during risk identification include the length of the batch job runs, ease of parameter entry for the users, unauthorized access to stored sales data, and limited time for testing. With these in mind, which TWO of the following quality characteristics sub-characteristics are likely to contain the highest levels of technical risk?
A) Operability.
B) Time behavior.
C) Interoperability.
D) Security.
E) Testability.

• A. a and b
• B. c and e
• C. b and e
• D. b and d
