ISQI CTAL-TA_V4.0 Exam Syllabus Topics:

ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Analyst (CTAL-TA v4.0) Sample Questions:

1. As an experienced Test Analyst, you have been asked to collaborate in usability test sessions for a new shopping cart application. In which way would you BEST contribute to this activity?

A) Assisting users in verifying that the correct prices have been displayed for items selected
B) Designing various purchasing scenarios for use during the usability test sessions
C) Executing purchasing scenarios during the sessions to ensure that accessibility has been addressed
D) Filling out a WAMMI questionnaire after completion of the usability test sessions

2. The following use case diagram shows the process of raising a Purchase Request (PR) and getting it authorized. Details are entered in batches; any that fail validation will be rejected and must be re-entered. The details will indicate whether the request is a normal one or an emergency one. Normal requests must be authorized by the department manager, who may refuse to do so. Emergency requests will be automatically authorized and reported to the manager.

The test strategy states that:
* all combinations of extensions and exceptions, as well as the main scenario, shall be tested
* loops shall get simple loop coverage where the maximum number of iterations for validation exceptions is 3 and the typical number is 2.
What is the minimum quantity of test cases that will be needed to obtain this coverage?

A) 5
B) 6
C) 7
D) 4

3. The following activity diagram, drawn in Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), shows the process of raising a Purchase Request (PR), getting it authorized and raising a Purchase Order from it.

What is the minimum quantity of test cases that will be needed to cover all scenarios?

A) 1
B) 3
C) 2
D) 4

4. You are testing the functional correctness of an application which allows the driver of a car to control if the air that enters the passenger compartment is fresh or recycled. The car may be ordered in various configurations:
* Engine Size, can be: 1500cc, 1900cc, 2200cc, 2500cc
* Gearbox type, can be: automatic, manual 5-speed, manual 6-speed
* Cruise control, can be: yes or no
* Electric sunroof, can be: yes or no
It is expected that the most popular configuration will have a 1900cc engine and a manual 5-speed gearbox with cruise control and no electric sunroof. In order to achieve full BASE CHOICE coverage, how many configurations must be tested?

A) 12
B) 16
C) 48
D) 8

5. You are working on a project to build a purchasing system. The main requirements for the system are that it shall:
* Allow users to enter details of items that they wish to have purchased and, from these details, create a purchase request.
* Take each purchase request through a workflow that will allow the requestor's line manager to approve the request, reject it or return it for clarification / modification.
* Forward approved requests to the Purchasing Department.
* Allow purchasers to find the best available supplier for each approved request and place the request on that supplier as a purchase order.
The solution is being developed according to the company's traditional V-model methodology. The requirements are clearly documented and include a business process model.
System testing has finished and the test manager has asked you, the senior TA, to identify any parts of the product that should be focused on during acceptance testing. The results of this may be used to adjust the acceptance test plan.
You are using defect cluster analysis, only counting defects with severity levels 1 to 3, ignoring low severity levels 4 and 5. Function point analysis was used for estimating, so you have used function points as the unit of size for the various functional areas of the product. No numeric estimates of expected defect quantities were made for them individually but, as a result of product risk analysis, these functional areas have been ranked according to the amount of product risk that was predicted in them, with risk ranking 1 being the highest and
5 the lowest; the thoroughness of the testing performed so far has been proportional to that. The results are presented in the table below.
