ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Technical Test Analyst (V4.0) Sample Questions:

1. 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.
Within a new high-end TV project, it has been decided to apply dynamic analysis.
Which of the quality goals listed below is MOST appropriate to the project context?

A) Prevent failures from occurring by detecting wild pointers and loss of system memory.
B) Evaluate network behaviour.
C) Improve system performance by providing information on run-time system behaviour.
D) Analyse system failures which cannot easily be reproduced.

2. Which of the following statements BEST describes how tools support model-based testing?

A) Random sets of threads of execution are generated as test cases.
B) Large sets of test cases are generated to provide full code coverage.
C) An engine is provided that allows the user to execute the model.
D) Finite state machines are used to describe the intended execution-time behavior of a software-controlled system.

3. You are working on an internet banking project. Your company is offering this product to the financial market. For each new customer, some customization will typically be needed. To make the product successful there is a strong focus during development on a reliable and maintainable architecture. To support architectural reviews, a checklist will be developed. Within the checklist specific sections will be attributed to reliability and maintainability.
Which question from the list below should you include in the maintainability section of the architectural review checklist?

A) Will the system use n-version programming for critical components?
B) Does the system have user-friendly error messages?
C) Will the user interface be implemented independently from the other software modules?
D) Does the password protection of the system adhere to the latest regulations?

4. You are working on project where re-use of software is an objective. You are involved in the project as a Technical Test Analyst and have been given the task to develop a checklist for code reviews.
Which question from the list below should you implement as part of the code review checklist?

A) Are all modules, data, and interfaces uniquely identified?
B) Can each item be implemented with the techniques, tools, and resources available?
C) Is it possible during acceptance testing to verity whether the item has been satisfied?
D) Are all variables defined with meaningful, consistent and clear names?

5. A new web site has been launched for a testing conference. There are a number of links to other related web sites for information purposes. Participants like the new site but complaints are being made that some (not all) of the links to other sites do not work.
Which type of test tool is most appropriate in helping to identify the causes of these failures?

A) Dynamic analysis tool
B) Hyperlink tool
C) Static analysis tool
D) Review tool
