    1. Hi,

      could you please point direct place in ISTQB syllabus as if it really indicates code as test oracle then there is a mistake as it does not make any sense to use the thing that you are suppose to check if it is a defect-free as an oracle stating if it works correctly. You would not find a single defect.

    2. hello Kalenders,

      given ans for Q6. B is correct ---> test oracle:A source to determine expected results to compare with the actual result of the software under test. An oracle may be the existing system (for a benchmark), other software, a user manual, or an individual’s specialized knowledge, but should not be the code. [After Adrion]
