ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Technical Test Analyst (V4.0) Sample Questions:
1. Consider the following fault attack:
* Force all possible incoming errors from the software/operating system interfaces to the application.
Which of the following is the kind of failure you are looking for when using this attack?
A) Application miscalculates total monthly balance due on credit cards.
B) Application crashes due to a lack of portability.
C) Application crashes when the network is unavailable.
D) Application crashes when unsupported characters are pasted into an input field.
2. Which of the following is NOT a common issue with traditional capture/playback test automation?
A) Execution of the recorded script is difficult outside office hours.
B) Difficult to maintain when software changes.
C) Recorded scripts are difficult to maintain by non-technical persons.
D) Data and actions are mixed in the recorded script.
3. A software company based in Spain that develops mobile applications expects many small updates in the future, e.g., due to changing configurations and customer feedback. The company also wants to focus on being able to change the software effectively and efficiently during initial development without introducing new defects.
Which maintainability sub-characteristic should be covered by the test approach during the initial development?
A) Re-usability
B) Modularity
C) Analysability
D) Modifiability
4. Within the world of consumer electronics, the amount of embedded software is growing rapidly. The amount of software in high-end television sets has increased by a factor of about eight over the last six years. In addition, the market of consumer electronics has been faced with a 5 -10% price erosion per year. The price of a product is, among a number of other things, determined by the microcontroller used. Therefore, the use of ROM and RAM remains under high pressure in consumer electronic products, leading to severe restrictions on code size.
You are a Technical Test Analyst involved in the review of the architecture of this project.
Which of the following issues would be MOST important to focus on during the review and when verifying the correct implementation?
A) Transaction concurrency
B) Caching
C) Connection pooling
D) Lazy instantiation
5. Within an embedded software project, the maintainability of the software is considered to be critical. It has been decided to use static analysis on each delivered software component.
Which of the following metrics is NOT a maintainability metric typically used with static analysis?
A) Mean Time Between Failures
B) Number of Lines of Code (LOG)
C) Comment Frequency
D) Number of Function Calls
