Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Analyst v4.0 v1.0

Your regression test suite includes five test cases, TC1-TC5. They cover the use case scenarios UC1-UC10 as follows:
TC1 covers UC1, UC2, UC3, UC4, UC5, UC6, UC7, UC8

TC2 covers UC7, UC8 -

TC3 covers UC2, UC4, UC6, UC7 -

TC4 covers UC10 -

TC5 covers UC5, UC8, UC9 -
The system consists of three components: C1, C2, and C3.
C1 implements scenarios UC1, UC2, UC3, UC4;
C2 implements scenarios UC5, UC6, UC7;
C3 implements scenarios UC8, UC9, UC10.
The latest iteration of the project refactored the C3 component. Your organization uses a regression test selection strategy based on scenario coverage.
Due to time constraints, you only have time to execute two regression tests.
Which TWO test cases should be executed? (Choose two.)

The test analyst defined four test cases for the test condition: “Verify that the system refuses to log in if the login information is incorrect.”
Where in the test process did the test analyst perform this task?

Why does defect classification support root cause analysis?

Which of the following is an example of a test environment requirement for an online store?

You are testing a loan assignment system. You have been given the following decision table to analyze, each condition can only take the value of Y (yes, the condition holds) or N (no, the condition does not hold).

What inference can you make from this decision table?

You are designing test cases based on the following state transition diagram.

So far, the only designed test case is as follows:
TC1: start, model, error, error, ready, model, switch, switch, switch, switch.
You use the ROUND TRIP coverage in your approach.
What round trip coverage does this test case achieve?

Which task is NOT performed by a test analyst as part of product risk analysis?

You are testing a beverage vending machine. The beverage price is $1. The machine accepts coins with denominations of 25c, 50c, and $1. When the sum of the coins inserted equals or exceeds the beverage price, the system dispenses the beverage and returns the change. However, if the system is unable to dispense change due to a lack of coins or the user presses the cancel button, the system does not dispense the beverage and returns the inserted coins.
You use a keyword-based approach. You have the following keywords at your disposal.

Consider the following test script written using keywords to execute a certain test scenario.
DefineState(1,1,1)

Insert25 -

Cancel -

Insert50 -

Insert50 -
What keyword should this test script end with?

A route-finding application receives as input - a starting point, an ending point, and a map with information on which streets are one-way. The application returns the length of the shortest possible route (in meters).
You want to test the correctness of this system with metamorphic testing using the following two metamorphic relations:
MR1: for a given route from point A to point B, if one or more one-way streets are changed to two-way streets, the route length cannot increase.
MR2: for a given map and points A, B, and C, the length of a route from A to C cannot be longer than the sum of the lengths of two routes: from A to B and from B to C.
You have two source test cases:
TC1: Start: P1, end: P2, one-way streets: S1, S2, S3. Result: route length = 1680 m.
TC2: Start: P2, end: P3, one-way streets: S1, S2, S3. Result: route length = 400 m.
Which test case reveals a system failure due to a violation of metamorphic relation MR1 or MR2?

What is an example of a risk associated with automated test design?

A technology company called TechSoft has just completed the development phase of a new module in its Pro Task project management mobile application. The new module - “Notifications and alerts” - allows users to receive notifications about the status of their tasks and messages. The functionality includes configuring different types of notifications (email, SMS, push), notification frequency, and customizing notifications according to the user's role.
Due to the many possible combinations of settings and the various usage scenarios, the project team has decided to do exploratory testing, with a focus on verifying the functionality of notifications in an environment that replicates the end-user environment as closely as possible.
Tech Soft has software for designing tests that meet combinatorial coverage criteria, such as pairwise coverage. It also has the latest version of a test management tool.
As a test analyst, you have been asked to prepare a test charter for exploratory testing.
Which TWO pieces of information should be included in the charter? (Choose two.)

You plan to test a computer game on various configurations. A configuration consists of: operating system (2 possible values: Windows 10, Windows 11) browser (4 possible values: Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera)
RAM type (4 possible values: 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB)
Market research shows that 90% of gamers own the same configuration: Windows 11, Chrome, 32 GB.
You use combinatorial testing with the base choice coverage.
What is the MINIMUM number of configurations that need to be tested to achieve 100% base choice coverage?

BeRich company is preparing to launch a mobile application for managing personal finances. The app is expected to eventually attract a wide range of users, from young people to adults to retirees. The app offers a range of functions, such as budgeting, expense analysis, saving, and financial advice. The team responsible for the project consists of experts from different departments: marketing, product development, testing, UX, and system architecture. To ensure consistent performance and positive application reception, the team will review the functional documentation before moving into the intensive implementation phase.
Each department looks at the app through the lens of its goals and specialties. For the marketing department, it is crucial that the application has unique features that distinguish it in the market and are intuitive for users. The system architecture team focuses on scalability, security, and user data protection. On the other hand, testers are focused on ensuring that each function is easy to test and anticipating scenarios that could cause user problems. In contrast, UX specialists focus on the application's accessibility for a wide range of users.
What type of review applied to functional documentation would be the BEST solution in this scenario?

You plan to test a computer game on various configurations. A configuration consists of: operating system (2 possible values: Windows 10, Windows 11) browser (3 possible values: Edge, Chrome, Firefox)
RAM type (3 possible values: 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB)
You apply the pairwise testing. So far, you have designed the following test cases:

TC1: Windows 10, Edge, 64 GB -

TC2: Windows 11, Chrome, 32 GB -

TC3: Windows 10, Firefox, 64 GB -

TC4: Windows 10, Firefox, 16 GB -

TC5: Windows 11, Chrome, 64 GB -

TC6: Windows 11, Edge, 32 GB -
What is the MINIMUM number of test cases that need to be added to the existing six test cases, so that the resulting test set achieves 100% pairwise coverage?
