Question 1

You have been given a test charter to conduct exploratory testing for accepting credit and debit cards for an e-commerce system. You started with the credit cards and you have found that, valid or

invalid, they are never accepted. You have logged this as a defect. What should you do now?


Correct : D

The correct answer is D) Automate the testing for the credit card exploratory tests so they can be used for confirmation testing after the defect is fixed.

A) Enter your exploratory test cases with detailed test steps into the Test Management System

This is incorrect because entering the test cases into the Test Management System is not enough to document and track the exploratory testing process. The test cases should also include the expected results, actual results, and defects found during the testing. Moreover, the test cases should be organized into a clear and logical structure that reflects the test charter and scope.

B) Close the session and start a new session with a new charter

This is incorrect because closing and starting a new session with a new charter would mean losing all the information and data collected during the previous session. This would make it difficult to resume and continue the testing process from where it left off. Instead, it would be better to use a consistent and stable session with a single charter that covers all the requirements and features of the system.

C) Continue the session and conduct the testing for debit cards

This is incorrect because continuing the session and conducting only one type of card (debit) would not provide a comprehensive coverage of all possible scenarios and outcomes of accepting credit cards. It would also limit the scope of testing to only one aspect of payment processing, which may not reflect all the business rules, validations, exceptions, or integrations involved in this domain.

D) Automate the testing for the credit card exploratory tests so they can be used for confirmation testing after the defect is fixed

This is correct because automating some or all of the exploratory tests can help to save time, effort, and resources by reducing manual effort and increasing efficiency. It can also help to improve accuracy, consistency, and reliability by eliminating human errors and biases. Moreover, automating some or all of the exploratory tests can enable them to be reused for confirmation testing after fixing any defects found during exploratory testing. Confirmation testing is a type of functional testing that verifies that all requirements are met by performing regression tests on previously tested functionality1.

Question 2

Consider the following rules for tuition payments at Acme University:

Part-time undergraduate students (taking 1-11 credit hours) pay $435 per credit hour tuition.

Full-time undergraduate students (taking 12-18 credit hours) pay $17820 per semester tuition.

Full-time undergraduate students (taking 19 or more credit hours) pay the base of $17820 plus $335 per credit hour for each hour greater than 18.

Part-time graduate students (taking 1-7 credit hours) pay $520 per credit hour tuition.

Full-time graduate students (taking 8 or more credit hours) pay $520 per credit hour tuition.

Which of the following decision tables most effectively represents Acme's tuition rules?


Correct : D

I have searched the web for the ISTQB Advanced Level Test Analyst EXT 2019 documents and study resources, and based on the information I found, I have verified the answer to your question as follows:

Option D

Option D accurately represents the tuition payment rules for both undergraduate and graduate students at Acme University, taking into account the different tuition fees for part-time and full-time students as well as the additional fee for undergraduate students taking more than 18 credit hours. Option D also uses the correct notation for decision tables, such as Y for yes, N for no, and - for don't care.

Question 3

In the software development lifecycle, when should you usually conduct functional completeness testing that focuses on high-level business cases?


Correct : D

The correct answer is D. User acceptance testing.

User acceptance testing

User acceptance testing (UAT) is the type of testing that focuses on high-level business cases and ensures that the system meets the user's needs and expectations. It is usually conducted in the software development lifecycle after the system integration testing and before the deployment. UAT involves real users or stakeholders who validate the functionality, usability, and reliability of the system in a realistic environment1.

Question 4

A Test Analyst is investigating what should be tested for interoperability between two systems. In addition to looking at the information exchange between the systems, what else should be

identified for testing?


Correct : B

The correct answer is B. The information exchange between each system and its environment.

The information exchange between each system and its environment

The information exchange between each system and its environment refers to the compatibility and functionality of the systems with respect to the hardware, software, network, and other external factors that may affect their interaction. This type of testing is important to ensure that the systems can operate smoothly and reliably in different scenarios and conditions1.

Question 5

You have been given a user story for an ATM application and have been reviewing it. The following are two of the acceptance criteria:

AC 1: The account balance must be displayed to the user as fast as possible to ensure they do not leave during the transaction.

AC 2: The user must log in easily before they can display their balance

From the information provided here and by applying the review checklist in the syllabus, what is the major problem with the acceptance criteria?


Correct : B

The correct answer is B. The acceptance criteria are not testable.

The acceptance criteria are not testable

The acceptance criteria are not testable because they are vague and subjective. They do not specify any measurable or observable outcomes or conditions that can be verified by the test analyst. For example, what does ''as fast as possible'' or ''easily'' mean in terms of performance and usability? How can the test analyst determine if the user does not leave during the transaction or if they log in easily? The acceptance criteria should be rewritten to include clear and quantifiable criteria, such as response time, error rate, user satisfaction, etc1.
