  1. I guess Answer for Q.17 is Priority.
    Not All of the Above. Please correct me if i am wrong.

    1. I just wanted to agree with you, I also think that it should be B (System testing). Dear admin, please correct us if we're wrong.

  4. Hi, could anyone please elaborate more on "when to stop testing?". As for now all previous exams are consistent in saying that we should stop testing when scheduled time for testing expires (Q.14). I have an opinion that we should stop testing when risk associated with releasing a product is on a acceptable level.

    Unless it is a cynical approach that is presented here:
    "time is up, here are the results, we did not check these key features of this product so the risk is high, but it's up to you to decide dear stakeholder if you want this product released or not".

  5. Q.31 seems to be wrong, D should be the answer. According to ISTQB syllabus:

    monkey testing: Testing by means of a
    random selection from a large range of
    inputs and by randomly pushing buttons,
    ignorant on how the product is being used

  6. why Q35 is Incident report?

    ReplyDelete
  7. dear author,

    could you please review Questions 8,17,25,35 for if there are any typo's exists.

    could you please provide explanations for questions 14, 26, 35?

    Q26 --> confused whether C or D , since there is no discussion on user so i guess D might be most suitable,

    Q35--> might be A, since there is no information about incident from question.

    thanks
