iSQI CTAL-TA_Syll2019 Actual Questions

The requirement states that the system shall allow cash advances of at least 200 Euros, but it does not specify the maximum amount or the conditions for different cards. This could lead to confusion, inconsistency, and errors in the system’s functionality and testing. The requirement should be more precise and define the exact limits and rules for each card type and scenario. References = ISTQBAdvanced Level Test Analyst Syllabus 2019, section 2.1.1; Requirement Analysis Templates & Techniques, section “Requirement Analysis Best Practices”.

The correct answer isA.The user should not experience an error that does not have a clear explanation and instructions for correction.

The user should not experience an error that does not have a clear explanation and instructions for correction

User error protection is the degree to which a system protects users against making errors. It includes providing clear and helpful error messages, preventing or minimizing the consequences of errors, and allowing users to recover from errors.In this case, the test condition verifies that the application provides adequate feedback and guidance to the user when an error occurs, such as entering an invalid word, losing network connection, or encountering a system failure1.

A 0-switch test case is a test case that covers one transition from one state to another. To achieve 100% 0-switch coverage, all the transitions in the state table must be tested. There are eight transitions in the state table, as shown by the arrows. Therefore, eight 0-switch test cases are needed. References =

Experience-based testing is a technique that relies on the tester’s intuition, skills, and past experiences to create test scenarios. However, this approach makes it challenging to measure and assess the test coverage, as there is no clear criteria or method to determine which areas of the software have been tested and which have not. This can lead to gaps in the testing process and potential risks of missing defects1
