#1) What are the Methodologies adopted while performing Maintenance Testing?
a) Breadth Test and Depth Test
b) Retesting
c) Confirmation Testing
d) Sanity Testing
Evaluating the options:
a) Option a: Breadth testing is a test suite that exercises the full functionality of a product but does not test features in detail. Depth testing is a test that exercises a feature of a product in full detail.
b) Option b: Retesting is part of Regression
c) Option c: Confirmation testing is a synonym for retesting
d) Option d: Sanity Testing does not include full functionality
Maintenance Testing includes testing some features in detail (for e.g. environment) and for some features, detailed testing is not required. It’s a mix of both breadth and depth testing.
So, the answer is ‘A’
#2) Which of the following is true about Formal Review or Inspection?
i. Led by Trained Moderator (not the author).
ii. No Pre Meeting Preparations
iii. Formal Follow up process.
iv. Main Objective is to find defects
a) ii is true and i,iii,iv are false
b) i,iii,iv are true and ii is false
c) i,iii,iv are false and ii is true
d) iii is true and i,ii,iv are false
Evaluating the options:
Consider the first point (i). It is true that Inspection is being led by a trained moderator. Hence we can eliminate options (a) and (d). Now consider the second point. In Inspection pre-meeting preparation is required. So this point is false. Look for an option where (i) is true and (ii) is false.
The answer is ‘B’
#3) The Phases of the formal review process is mentioned below, arrange them in the correct order.
i. Planning
ii. Review Meeting
iii. Rework
iv. Individual Preparations
v. Kick Off
vi. Follow Up
a) i,ii,iii,iv,v,vi
b) vi,i,ii,iii,iv,v
c) i,v,iv,ii,iii,vi
d) i,ii,iii,v,iv,vi
Evaluating the options:
The formal review process is ’Inspection’. Planning is the foremost step. Hence, we can eliminate the option “b”. Now we need to kick off the process, so the second step will be Kick off. That’s it we found the answer. Its ’C’
The answer is ’C’
#4) Consider the following state transition diagram of a two-speed hair dryer, which is operated by pressing its one button. The first press of the button turns it on to Speed 1, second press to Speed 2 and the third press turns it off.
Which of the following series of state transitions below will provide 0-switch coverage?
a. A,C,B
b. B,C,A
c. A,B,C
d. C,B,A
Evaluating the options:
In state transition testing, a test is defined for each state transition. The coverage that is achieved by this testing is called 0-switch or branch coverage. 0-switch coverage is to execute each loop once (No repetition. We should start with an initial state and go till the end state. It does not test the ‘sequence of two-state transitions’).
In this case, the start state is ‘OFF’, and then a press of the button turns it on to Speed 1 (i.e. A). A second press turns it on to Speed 2 (i.e. B) and the third press turns it off (i.e. C). Here we do not test the combinations like what if the start state is ‘Speed 1’ or ‘Speed 2’ etc.
An alternate way of solving this is to check for the options where it starts with the ‘OFF’ state. So, we have options ‘a’ and ‘c’ to select from. As per the state diagram from ‘OFF’ state the dryer goes to ‘Speed 1’ and then to ‘Speed 2’. So our answer should start with ‘A’ and end with ‘C’.
The answer is ’C’
#5) What is White Box Technique also called as?
a) Structural Testing
b) Design-Based Testing
c) Error Guessing Technique
d) Experience-Based Technique
Evaluating the options:
I guess no evaluation is required here. It’s a straight answer. The white box technique is also known as structural testing. (as it is done using the code)
The answer is ‘A’
#6) What is an Equivalence Partition (also known as an Equivalence class)?
a) A set of test cases for testing classes of objects.
b) An input or output range of values such that only one value in the range becomes a test case.
c) An input or output range of values such that each value in the range becomes a test case.
d) An input or output range of values such that every tenth value in the range becomes a test case.
Evaluating the options:
Let’s recall the definition of equivalence partition. It is grouping inputs into valid and invalid classes. Hence, any values from one particular class form an input.
For example, if the input of a valid class contains values from 3-5, then any value between 3-5 is considered as an input. All values are supposed to yield the same output. Hence one value in this range becomes a test case.
The answer is ‘B’
#7) The Test Cases Derived from use cases
a) Are most useful in uncovering defects in the process flows during real-world use of the system
b) Are most useful in uncovering defects in the process flows during the testing use of the system
c) Are most useful in covering the defects in the process flows during real-world use of the system
d) Are most useful in covering the defects at the Integration Level
Evaluating the options:
Please refer to a Use case related topic in the foundation level guide “Use cases describe the “process flows” through a system based on its actual likely use” (actual likely use is nothing but the real-world use of the system).
Use cases are useful for uncovering defects. Hence we can eliminate options (c ) and (d). The use case uncovers defects in process flow during real-world use of the system.
The answer is ‘A’
#8) Exhaustive Testing is
a) Is impractical but possible
b) Is practically possible
c) Is impractical and impossible
d) Is always possible
Evaluating the options:
From the definition given in the syllabus, exhaustive testing is impossible. But it is possible in trivial cases. Exhaustive testing is not always possible. So eliminate Option ‘d’. It is also not impossible. So eliminate option ‘c’. But implementing is impractical. Hence we can conclude that exhaustive testing is impractical but possible.
The answer is ‘A’
#9) Which of the following is not a part of the Test Implementation and Execution Phase?
a) Creating test suites from the test cases.
b) Executing test cases either manually or by using test execution tools.
c) Comparing actual results
d) Designing the Tests
Evaluating the options:
Please take care of the word ‘not’ in the question. Test implementation does include Creating test suites, executing and comparing results. Hence eliminate options a, b and c. The only option left is ‘D’. Designing activities come before implementation.
The answer is ‘D’
#10) Which of the following techniques is NOT a White box technique?
a) Statement Testing and coverage
b) Decision Testing and coverage
c) Condition Coverage
d) Boundary value analysis
Evaluating the options:
Please take care of the word ‘not’ in the question. We have to choose the one which is not a part of the white box technique. The statement, decision, condition are the terms used in the white box. So eliminate options a, b and c. Boundary value is part of a black box.
The answer is ‘D’
#11) A Project risk includes which of the following?
a) Organizational Factors
b) Poor Software characteristics
c) Error-Prone software delivered.
d) Software that does not perform its intended functions
Evaluating the options:
a) Option a: Organizational factors can be a part of project risk.
b) Option b: Poor software characteristics are a part of the software. It’s not a risk.
c) Option c: Error-prone software delivered. Again it’s a part of the software.
d) Option d: Software that does not perform its intended functions. Again it’s a part of the software.
The answer is ‘A’
#12) In a Risk-Based approach, the risks identified may be used for?
i. Determine the test technique to be employed
ii. Determine the extent of testing to be carried out
iii. Prioritize testing in an attempt to find critical defects as soon as possible.
iv. Determine the cost of the project
a) ii is True; i, iii, iv & v are false
b) i,ii,iii are true and iv is false
c) ii & iii are True; i, iv are false
d) ii, iii & iv are True; i is false
Evaluating the options:
a) Option a: Risks identified can be used to determine the test technique.
b) Option b: Risks can be used to determine the extent of testing required. For e.g., if there are P1 bugs in the software, then there is a risk to release them. Hence we can increase the testing cycle to reduce the risk
c) Option c: If risk areas are identified beforehand, then we can prioritize testing to find the defects asap.
d) Option d: Risk does not determine the cost of the project. It determines the impact on the project as a whole.
Check for the option where the first 3 points are true. Its ‘B’
The answer is ‘B’
#13) Which of the following is the task of a Tester?
i. Interaction with the Test Tool Vendor to identify the best ways to leverage the test tools on the project.
ii. Prepare and acquire Test Data
iii. Implement Tests on all test levels, execute and log the tests.
iv. Create Test Specifications
a) i, ii, iii is true and iv is false
b) ii, iii, iv is true and i is false
c) i is true and ii, iii, iv are false
d) iii and iv is correct and i and ii are incorrect
Evaluating the options:
Not much explanation is needed in this case. As a tester, we do all the activities mentioned in options (ii), (iii) and (iv).
The answer is ‘B’
#14) The Planning phase of a formal review includes which of the following?
a) Explaining the objectives
b) Selecting the personnel and allocating roles.
c) Follow up
d) Individual Meeting preparations
Evaluating the options:
In this case, elimination will work best. Follow-up is not a planning activity. It’s a post-task. Hence eliminate option ‘b’. Individual meeting preparation is an activity for the individual. It’s not a planning activity. Hence eliminate Option ‘d’. Now we are left with 2 options ‘a’ and ‘b’, you need to read those 2-3 times.
We can identify that option ‘b’ is most appropriate. The planning phase of the formal review does include selecting personnel and allocation of roles. Explaining the objectives is not a part of the review process. (This is also written in the FL syllabus)
The answer is ‘B’
#15) Who is the Person who documents all the issues, problems, and open points that were identified during a formal review?
a) Moderator
b) Scribe
c) Author
d) Manager
Evaluating the options:
We hope there is no confusion here. The answer is a scribe.
The answer is ‘B’
#16) Who are all involved in a Formal Review?
i. Manager
ii. Moderator
iii. Scribe / Recorder
iv. Assistant Manager
a) i,ii,iii,iv are true
b) i,ii,iii are true and iv is false.
c) ii,iii,iv are true and i is false.
d) i, iv are true and ii, iii are false.
Evaluating the options:
The question is regarding the formal review, which means Inspection. First, we will try to identify the persons that we are familiar with Inspection. Manager, Moderator, and Scribe are involved in Inspection. So now we only have the first 2 options to select from. (The other 2 options are eliminated). There is no assistant manager in Inspection.
The answer is ‘B’
#17) Which of the following are the Key Characteristics of Walk Through?
a) Scenario, Dry Run, Peer Group
b) Pre Meeting Preparations
c) Formal Follow Up Process
d) Includes Metrics
Evaluating the options:
Pre-meeting preparation is part of Inspection. Also, Walkthrough is not a formal process. Metrics are a part of Inspection. Hence eliminating ‘b’, ‘c’ and ‘d’.
The answer is ‘A’
#18) What can static analysis NOT find?
a) The use of a variable before it has been defined
b) Unreachable (“dead”) code
c) Memory leaks
d) Array bound violations
Evaluating the options:
The static analysis covers all the above options except ‘Memory leaks’. (Please refer to the FL syllabus. It’s written clearly over there)
The answer is ‘C’
#19) Incidents would not be raised against?
a) Requirements
b) Documentation
c) Test cases
d) Improvements suggested by users
Evaluating the options:
The first three options are obvious options for which incidents are raised. The last option can be thought of as an enhancement. It is a suggestion from the user and not an incident.
The answer is ‘D’
#20) Which is a Type of Functional Testing that investigates the functions relating to the detection of threats, such as viruses from malicious outsiders.
a) Security Testing
b) Recovery Testing
c) Performance Testing
d) Functionality Testing
Evaluating the options:
The terms used in the question like detection of threats, viruses etc point towards the security issues. Security testing is a part of Functional testing. In Security Testing, we investigate threats from malicious outsiders, etc.
The answer is ‘A’
#21) Which of the following is not a major task of Exit criteria?
a) Checking test logs against the exit criteria specified in the test planning.
b) Logging the outcome of test execution.
c) Assessing if more tests are needed.
d) Writing a test summary report for stakeholders.
Evaluating the options:
The question is ‘not’ a major task. Option ‘a’ is a major task. To eliminate this. Option ‘b’ is not a major task. (But yes, logging the outcome is important). Both option ‘c’ and ‘d’ are major tasks of Exit criteria. To eliminate these two.
The answer is ‘B’
#22) Testing where in we subject the target of the test to varying workloads to measure and evaluate the performance behaviors and the ability of the target and of the test to continue to function properly under these different workloads.
a) Load Testing
b) Integration Testing
c) System Testing
d) Usability Testing
Evaluating the options:
Workloads and performance are the terms that come under Load testing. Also, as can be seen from the other options, they are not related to load testing. So we can eliminate them.
The answer is ‘A’
#23) Testing activity which is performed to expose defects in the interfaces and in the interaction between integrated components is?
a) System-Level Testing
b) Integration Level Testing
c) Unit Level Testing
d) Component Testing
Evaluating the options:
We need to identify the testing activity which finds defects that occur due to interaction or integration. Option ‘a’ is not related to integration. Option ‘c’ is unit testing. Option ‘d’ component is again a synonym for unit testing. Hence eliminate these three options.
The answer is ‘B’
#24) Static analysis is best described as:
a) Analysis of batch programs.
b) Review of test plans.
c) The analysis of program code.
d) The use of black-box testing.
Evaluating the options:
In this case, we have to choose an option, which ‘best’ describes static analysis. Most of the options given here are very close to each other. We have to carefully read them.
a) Option a: Analysis is a part of static analysis. But it is not the best option to describe static analysis.
b) Option b: Reviews are a part of static analysis. But it is not the best option to describe static analysis.
c) Option c: Static analysis does analyze program code.
d) Option d: This option can be ruled out as a black box is dynamic testing.
The answer is ‘C’
#25) One of the fields on the form contains a text box that accepts alphanumeric values. Identify the Valid Equivalence class.
a) BOOK
b) Book
c) Boo01k
d) book
Evaluating the options:
As we know, alphanumeric is a combination of alphabets and numbers. Hence we have to choose an option which has both of these.
a. Option a: Contains only alphabets. (to create confusion they are given in capitals)
b. Option b: Contains only alphabets. (the only difference from the above option is that not all letters are in capitals)
c. Option c: Contains both alphabets and numbers
d. Option d: Contains only alphabets but in lower case.
The answer is ‘C’
#26) Reviewing the test Basis is a part of which phase?
a) Test Analysis and Design
b) Test Implementation and execution
c) Test Closure Activities
d) Evaluating exit criteria and reporting
Evaluating the options:
Test basis comprises of requirements, architecture, design, and interfaces. By looking at these words, we can straight away eliminate the last two options. Now option ‘a’ is about test analysis and design. This comes under a test basis. Option ‘b’ is about implementation and execution which comes after the design process. So the best option is ‘a’.
The answer is ‘A’
#27) Reporting Discrepancies as incidents is a part of which phase?
a) Test Analysis and Design
b) Test Implementation and execution
c) Test Closure Activities
d) Evaluating exit criteria and reporting
Evaluating the options:
The incident is reporting discrepancies, in other terms it’s a defect/bug. We find defects during the execution cycle where we execute the test cases.
The answer is ‘B’
#28) Which of the following items would not come under Configuration Management?
a) Operating systems
b) Test documentation
c) Live data
d) User requirement document
Evaluating the options:
We have to choose an option that does ‘not’ come under Configuration Management (CM). CM is about maintaining the integrity of products like components, data, and documentation.
a) Option a: Maintaining the Operating system configuration that has been used in the test cycle is part of CM.
b) Option b: Test documentation is a part of the CM.
c) Option c: Data is a part of CM. but here the option is ‘live data’ which is not a part of CM. The live data keeps on changing (in the real scenario).
d) Option d: Requirements and documents are again a part of CM.
The only option that does not fall under CM is ‘c’
The answer is ‘C’
#29) Handover of Test-ware is a part of which Phase?
a) Test Analysis and Design
b) Test Planning and control
c) Test Closure Activities
d) Evaluating exit criteria and reporting
Evaluating the options:
Handover is typically a process that is a part of closure activities. It is not a part of analysis, design or planning activity. Also, this is not a part of evaluating exit criteria. After the closure of the test cycle, test-ware is handover to the maintenance organization.
The answer is ‘C’
#30) The Switch is switched off once the temperature falls below 18 and then it is turned on when the temperature is more than 21. Identify the Equivalence values which belong to the same class.
a) 12,16,22
b) 24,27,17
c) 22,23,24
d) 14,15,19
Evaluating the options:
Read the question carefully. We have to choose values from the same class. So first divide the classes. When the temperature falls below 18, switches are turned off. This forms a class (as shown below).
When the temperature is more than 21, the switch is turned on. For values between 18 to 21, no action is taken. This also forms a class as shown below.
Class I: less than 18 (switch turned off)
Class II: 18 to 21
Class III: above 21 (switch turned on)
From the given options, select the option that has values from only one particular class. Option ‘a’ values are not in one class, so eliminate. Option ‘b’ values are not in one class, so eliminate. Option ‘c’ values are in one class.
Option ‘d’ values are not in one class, so eliminate. (Please note that this question does not talk about valid or invalid classes. It is only about values in the same class)
The answer is ‘C’

Hi vijji ,
the exam is quite simple and questions distribution is as follow::
1- multible choices about
– configuration management.
– test tool
– types of testing
2- boundary value analysis like printer example
printer Mini copies =5 and 100 or over has discount 20% . what is boundaies value.
2- branch coverage like ( if statment its structure is as follow
IF…….
IF…….
Else
IF…….., and ask abput how many test required to cover 100% branch
2- state transtion graph and give a sequnce and ask about the correct transitions order for this sequence.
and another ask about invalid transitions
3- Fllow Chart , and give some paths collections and then ask how about the paths collection that give 100% statement coverage.
you shoudl read the material correct and solve the exams here under this article , it will be enough.
the exam is 40 Point needed is 24 Point to apss
Hope You All High Scores.

Hi Sandhya Rani and All,
I am very much confused in calculating statement coverage and branch coverage. For calculating statement coverage, Iam just checking out various combinations of paths that could be poosible in that particular scenario. For calculating branch coverage, I am using the rule n+1, where ‘n’ is the number of IF conditions. But this answers obtained by following this approach sometimes do not match with the actual answers specified in the net. So could anyone tel me the alternative correct way for calculating coverages. Also, Please provide me the correct answers of the below quetions.
IF X = Z
THEN Statement 2;
END

C = A – B
ELSE
C = A + B
ENDIF
Read D
IF C = D Then
Print “Error”
ENDIF

b) 2 tests for statement coverage, 2 for branch coverage
c) 2 tests for statement coverage. 3 for branch coverage
d) 3 tests for statement coverage, 3 for branch coverage
e) 3 tests for statement coverage, 2 for branch coverage
12 Given the following code, which is true about the minimum number of test cases required for full statement and
branch coverage:

A. Improve super vision, More reviews of artifacts or program means stage containment of the defects.
B. Extend the test plan so that you can test all the inter dependencies
C. Divide the large system in to small modules and test the functionality
D. Test the interdependencies first, after that check the system as a whole
what should be correct ans of that que.? Give with reason why?

Hi, can anyone give me the link of ISTQB syllabus material which is mentioned above by Sandhya (FL Syllabus). I need study material NOT sample papers.
Hi Sandhya,
Do u have question paper of ISTQB foundation level which was conducted on July 26th 2009? If so, please clarify the answers like these. I am going to write the exam on September 30th .It will be helpful for me.
Kindly do the needful for the same.
hi Sandya,
Good work done.Thanks for sharing this questions for upcoming ISTQB certificate holders.it is very use ful to all test engineer.
The question,
Test Cases design during
1. Test recording
2. Test Planning
3. Test configuration
4. Test specification.
Majority of people answer option “4. Test Specification”. But this is totally wrong answer. Test Specification is not a phase or stage.
Test Specification is a detailed summary of what scenarios will be tested, how they will be tested, how often they will be tested, and so on and so forth, for a given feature.
Thanks a lot for the approach we need to apply, inorder to accomplish the Certification…

25. One of the fields on a form contains a text box which accepts alpha numeric values. Identify the Valid Equivalence class
a) BOOK
b) Book
c) Boo01k
d) book
The answer mentioned here is C. But I think the answer is B. Alphanumeric does not mean character + number, It means only characters (not number). Here B contains “Book” in which both upper and lower case characters are present. So i think valid equivalence class is B rather than C. Please correct me if I wrong

Author :: The author’s task is to illuminate unclear areas and to understand the defects
found
Scribe:: the scribe (or recorder) has to record each defect mentioned and any suggestions for process improvement. In practice it is often the author who plays this role, ensuring that the log is readable and understand-able

Hi Carlos Flores, do you have these materials which helped you to pass? please write in personal 🙂 Thank you
There is an error in the answer for question 14. In the statement that reads “It’s a post-task. Hence eliminate option ‘b’” should read “…eliminate option “c” instead.
Really helpful. Thanx.

generating expected outputs
replaying inputs according to a programmed script
comparison of expected outcomes with actual outcomes
recording test inputs
reading test values from a data file
26 The difference between re-testing and regression testing is
re-testing is running a test again; regression testing looks for unexpected side effects
re-testing looks for unexpected side effects; regression testing is repeating those tests
re-testing is done after faults are fixed; regression testing is done earlier

derived from the code
28 Test managers should not
report on deviations from the project plan
sign the system off for release

provide information for risk analysis and quality improvement
29 Unreachable code would best be found using:
code reviews

33 Which of the following is NOT part of system testing:
business process-based testing
performance, load and stress testing
requirements-based testing

34 What statement about expected outcomes is FALSE:
expected outcomes are defined by the software’s behaviour
expected outcomes are derived from a specification, not from the code
expected outcomes include outputs to a screen and changes to files and databases

ANSI/IEEE 829
ANSI/IEEE 729
36 The cost of fixing a fault
Is not important
Increases as we move the product towards live use

Test items (i.e. software versions)
What is not to be tested
Test environments
Quality plans
Schedules and deadlines
38 Could reviews or inspections be considered part of testing:
No, because they apply to development documentation
No, because they are normally applied before testing

Really nice article. Keep up the good work…..
any one, pls give the answer for this question;
Which is the test technique used to write minimal test cases for Elevator functionality:
1) Decision Tables
2) Boundary Value analysis
3) Equivalence partitionong
4) …..(mention if other)
Given the following code, which is true:
IF A > B THEN
C = A ? B
ELSE
C = A B
ENDIF
Read D
IF C = D Then
Print ?Error?
ENDIF
1 test for statement coverage, 3 for branch coverage
2 tests for statement coverage, 2 for branch coverage
2 tests for statement coverage, 3 for branch coverage
3 tests for statement coverage, 3 for branch coverage
Please tell me the ans for this qn and also pls explain the logic of how to find the statement coverage and branch coverage in the above case.
Please find the below answers for the above mentioned questions.
Note: I tried my level best to answer these questions with my knowledge and also with help of some material from related searches.
1) A (actual statements are verification is the check of are we building the product right and validation is the check of are we building the right product they just changed the wording)
2) A (hope correction is needed for the question as all the techniques mentioned wil be used when we are running the code itself classification tree is a combination of boundary value analysis and equivalence partitioning so in all the cases we need to run the test cases)
3) B (This technique is used to handle errors if they occur without letting the program to terminate abnormally so it the statement is false)
4) B (To do component testing to replace the required software components from which we are expecting the inputs we will replace them with stubs and drivers stub is the part of the code which will be called by the program under test and Driver is the software code required to call the program under test)
5) B (exploratory testing the one where the used do when there are almost poor requirements or the no requirement so there will be no any formal test cases)
6) C (Program specification is the document which states about what all the functions that are used in the particular program)
7) A (fish bone diagram is the one which will be used to identify all the possible causes for the problem)
8) A (Error seeding is the one we call when programmer intentionally added the error)
9) A (Normally we data can be created, read, updated and deleted which are considered as basic operations on data)
10) B (There are some of the software quality attributes which can be checked without running it also example static techniques so all the quality checks didn’t require the software to run)
11) B (Program specification is the document which contains all the details related to program I doubted with the unit test plan also initially but the test plan will not contain the details I believe)
12) A (Items to be covered or not covered will be mentioned in test plan)
13) D (memory leakage and error handling will be known by dynamic analysis tools which will be detected when the program is running so no reviews will find them)
14) B (as 7 question)
15) B (sanity testing is a kind of testing which will be used to determine whether the software is fit to perform major testing or not)
16) C ( line of code and FP(In computational complexity theory, the complexity class FP is the set of function problems) is measure of size)
17)a (Requirements document what is needed – they shouldn’t specify the how, but the what. Specifications document how to achieve the requirements so behavioral testing will be done based on requirements)
18) D (According to be all are correct)
19) C (I think there is no such kind as integrated testing. There is only one called as intefration testing)
20) A (According to be all are correct)

Guys
ISTQB sample question paper book is now available which has 2007 sample papers. Also go through the glossary of foundation level (8 questions assured).
HI vijji ,
first i need to confirme the rule that, 100% branch or decsion give 100% statement coverage.
so if u need one answer for coverage of both branch and statement , then use the rule [[ count IF statments +1 ]] then it will be 2+1 = 3 test cases
if u need statement only then u need one test case that has the values P = 60 (>50) and q = 40 (any value where sum > 100).
there is another coverage type [[ decision condition coverage ]] and the rule is (2n+1) where n=the number of conditions.
example (IF x==y OR z==m && s==t)
then we have Two Condition Operators so number of test cases is (2*2)+1 = 5
