ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) v4.0 Sample Questions:

1. During iteration planning, a scrum team uses an estimation technique called planning poker to estimate the effort required to deliver a critical user story. In advance of the estimation session, the team agreed on some ground rules to limit the number of poker rounds and save time.
The team agreed on the following:
1. They will use the following progression for estimation: Extra-small, Small, Medium, Large, Extra- large, and Extra-extra-large.
2. If estimation values differ significantly, the highest score will be used for estimation purposes.
The result of the first round of planning poker:
Team Member Estimation
Business Large
Development Extra-extra-large
Testing Extra-extra-large
Which of the following options best represent the team's next actions?

A) the team discusses the differences in the estimates and repeats the poker round until an agreemet is reached.
B) The fact that all estimations are high indicate that the user story is not well understood or should be broken down into multiple smaller stories.
C) Since the business representative is likely to have the most informed view of the requirement, the user story is categorised as a Large.
D) The pre-agreed rules state that the highest score should be used for estimation, resulting in the user story being categorised as Extra-extra-large.

2. You work on a project where the executed test set achieved 100% statement coverage. What is the consequence of this fact?

A) Each decision outcome in the code had to be evaluated both for true and false
B) Each executable statement with a defect had to be exercised at least once
C) The test set triggered no failures in the tested code
D) All requirements related to the code under test are met

3. Which of the following is a correct statement regarding Quadrant Q2 of the testing quadrants?

A) It is technology facing, critiques the product, and contains the smoke tests and performance tests
B) It is business facing, supports the team, and contains functional tests and API tests
C) It is business facing, critiques the product, and contains exploratory and usability testing
D) It is technology facing, supports the team, and contains component and component integration tests

4. Which one of the following statements IS NOT a valid objective of testing?

A) To find all defects in a product, ensuring the product is defect free.
B) To evaluate work products such as requirements, user stories, design, and code.
C) To build confidence in the level of quality of the test object.
D) To find failures and defects

5. Which ONE of the following options BEST describes Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)?

A) Is primarily focused on non-functional testing techniques to ensure system reliability and performance.
B) Requires testing to be performed after development is completed to validate software functionality.
C) Defines test cases at a low level, close to the implementation, using unit test frameworks.
D) Expresses the desired behavior of an application with test cases written in a simple form of natural language that is easy to understand by stakeholders--usually using the Given/When/Then format.
Test cases are then automatically translated into executable tests.
