ISQI CTAL-ATT Online Questions & Answers

• Question 1:

  Your organization has been making animal food dispensers for free-range chickens and has been using a combination of test automation, exploratory testing, and some black-box testing on all products. The company has been using the

  following approach to the testing of the high-risk items:

  Exploratory testing = 85%

  Black-box testing = 15%

  Test automation = coverage goal is 25% but time is only allocated to automation if no other testing is needed, so the coverage is currently about 5% and the automation suite is run only infrequently.

  The company has decided to modify their product and use it for pill dispensing for pharmacies. Regardless of the mechanical challenges of this modification, you now have to determine how testing should be adjusted for this safety-critical

  application.

  Which of the following would follow the guidelines in the syllabus for the testing approach for the high- risk items?

  A. Exploratory testing = 85% Black-box testing = 15% Test automation = 25% coverage, executed infrequently
  B. Exploratory testing = 15% Black-box testing = 85% Test automation = 25%, executed for every code release
  C. Exploratory testing = 50% Black-box testing = 50% Test automation = 50% coverage, executed before every production release
  D. Exploratory testing = 25% Black-box testing = 75% Test automation = 75% coverage, executed for every code release
  D. Exploratory testing = 25% Black-box testing = 75% Test automation = 75% coverage, executed for every code release

• Question 2:

  When test cases are re-run after refactoring, what should always be verified?

  A. That the branch coverage is the same or increased
  B. That they provide better logging than before
  C. That they provide the same results as before
  D. That tests that have now been made redundant are removed from the test set
  C. That they provide the same results as before

• Question 3:

  Which of the following best describes when the test automation suite should be updated in order to keep up with the development of new/changed software?

  A. At the end of each iteration, after the completion of manual testing
  B. At the end of each release, during regression testing
  C. At the start of each iteration, during planning
  D. During each iteration as the code is received
  D. During each iteration as the code is received

• Question 4:

  What is the characteristic of a unit test that makes it "deterministic"?

  A. If it is run with the same conditions, it will get the same result each time
  B. It tests the details of the code, including verifying all the possible areas of data handling
  C. It tests only the targeted piece of functionality
  D. It runs very fast, allowing many tests to be run quickly
  A. If it is run with the same conditions, it will get the same result each time

• Question 5:

  Consider the following section of pseudocode:

  function getPassword() {

  var x;

  var y;

  var z;

  var passwordGood = false

  // Get password from user, user is allowed 3 tries

  do until x = 3

  call getPassword (password)

  if password is good

  x = 3

  passwordGood = true

  else

  X = X + 1

  display "Password is not valid, try again''

  endif

  If passwordGood <> true

  display "You exceeded the number of tries to enter a password. Your account is now locked. Call customer service."

  endif

  endloop

  }

  For this section of code, which of the following issues should be identified during a code review?

  1. Variables have not been properly defined with meaningful names

  2. There are unused variables defined

  3. Divisors are not tested for zero

  4. Loop counters are not properly initialized

  5. There are endless loops

  6. There are statements within the loop that should be outside the loop

  A. 1, 3, 4, 5
  B. 2, 3, 4, 6
  C. 2, 3, 5, 6
  D. 1, 2, 4, 6
  D. 1, 2, 4, 6

• Question 6:

  You are testing a large e-commerce system for household goods that is being implemented using Agile methodologies. You are currently working on deriving tests for stories that are implementing the following epic:

  As a customer, I want to use the e-commerce system, so that I can have my purchased goods delivered to my house.

  The story you are currently working on is:

  As a customer, I want to be told when my items will be delivered, so I can plan to be home.

  You have been given the following charter that was proposed by another tester for testing this story:

  Login as a customer, buy enough of each item to qualify for free shipping for each item, checkout, and verify that no shipping fee has been added.

  What is the main flaw in this charter?

  A. It focuses on the delivery company instead of the activities of the user
  B. It does not cover the main functionality of the user story
  C. The expected results are not defined
  D. The actions of the user are not clearly stated in the charter
  B. It does not cover the main functionality of the user story

• Question 7:

  You are testing a mission-critical system and want to use exploratory testing for part of the testing. According to the syllabus, what is the correlation between this type of testing and the risk level of the item being tested?

  A. High = recommended, Medium = recommended, Low = highly recommended
  B. High = recommended, Medium = highly recommended, Low = highly recommended
  C. High = highly recommended, Medium = highly recommended, Low = highly recommended
  D. High = not recommended, Medium = recommended, Low = highly recommended
  C. High = highly recommended, Medium = highly recommended, Low = highly recommended
