ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Analyst (CTAL-TA v4.0) Sample Questions:

B. Identify the test cases that are suitable for automation
C. Identify constraints and dependencies that will affect the sequence of test execution
D. Have the test cases reviewed by the stakeholders
Question 2
You are working on a project to replace an old sales and merchandising system with a new system that will be based on modern platforms. The old system is still in production but is poorly documented and expensive to maintain. The new version will be developed using modern technology. The main requirements for the system are that it shall:
* Load sales data, sent electronically from the stores each evening, into a central database.
* Produce actual sales reports for the merchandisers, whose job is to manage stock levels in stores.
* Produce sales forecast reports, based on a combination of sales history and forecasting parameters. The parameters will be entered by the merchandisers into a browser-based front end and the reports will be produced overnight. The users will be able to see the reports next day, on screen or in print, by requesting this through the browser.
Requirements 1 and 2 are satisfied by the existing system and will be rewritten with no significant functional changes. Requirement 3 is new and has been clearly specified. Because of the poor test basis you have decided to perform experience-based functional correctness testing for requirements 1 and 2 with the support of checklists. Which would be the BEST items to include in the checklist for testing Requirement 2?
a) Does the sales quantity in the database for any one product in a particular store, equal the sales data input for that product / store?
b) Does the total sales value in the report for all products in a particular store, equal the sales data input for that store?

Question 3
The following use case diagram shows the process of raising a Purchase Request (PR) and getting it authorized. Details are entered in batches; any that fail validation will be rejected and must be re-entered. The details will indicate whether the request is a normal one or an emergency one. Normal requests must be authorized by the department manager, who may refuse to do so. Emergency requests will be automatically authorized and reported to the manager.
The test strategy states that:
* all combinations of extensions and exceptions, as well as the main scenario, shall be tested
* loops shall get simple loop coverage where the maximum number of iterations for validation exceptions is 3 and the typical number is 2.
What is the minimum quantity of test cases that will be needed to obtain this coverage?
A. 5
B. 7
C. 4
D. 6

C. Risk mitigation
D. Risk control
Question 5
You are working on a project to build a purchasing system. The main requirements for the system are that it shall:
* Allow users to enter details of items that they wish to have purchased and, from these details, create a purchase request.
* Take each purchase request through a workflow that will allow the requestor's line manager to approve the request, reject it or return it for clarification / modification.
* Forward approved requests to the Purchasing Department.
* Allow purchasers to find the best available supplier for each approved request and place the request on that supplier as a purchase order.
The solution is being developed according to the company's traditional V-model methodology. The requirements are clearly documented and include a business process model. Operational profiles have been created to guide performance testing.
Initial item entry will involve a check that each item entered exists on the master stock file and that the user is entitled to request it; this depends on user role and grade. Line manager authorization will be assisted by a recommendation made by the system according to relevant business rules, although the manager can override this recommendation. For approved requests, the workflow will continue to support the process through to placing of the purchase order.
Planning has begun for system testing and the Test Manager has asked you, the senior TA, to help with it.
