Actual exam question for ISTQB's ISTQB-CTFL exam

Question #: 16
Topic #: 1

Which of the following statements about traceability is FALSE?

ATraceability between test basis items and the test cases designed to cover them, makes it possible to determine which test basis items have been covered by the executed test cases.

BTraceability between test basis items and the test cases designed to cover them, enables experience-based test techniques to be applied

CTraceability between test basis items and the test cases designed to cover them, enables identification of which test cases will be affected by changes to the test basis items.

DTraceability can be established and maintained through all the test documentation for a given test level, such as from test conditions through test cases to test scripts.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Test Management tools are designed to support the planning, execution, and monitoring of the testing process. They provide features for managing test cases, test runs, tracking defects, and reporting on testing activities. However, the statement in option C describes Test Management tools as monitoring and reporting on the system's behavior during testing activities, which is not accurate. Test Management tools focus on the testing process itself rather than on the behavior of the system under test.

Test data preparation tools (A) indeed create and manage test data for use during test execution.

Test execution tools (B) automate the execution of test cases and the comparison of actual outcomes against expected results.

Test comparators (D) are tools that compare actual outcomes with expected outcomes, highlighting discrepancies.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it inaccurately describes the function of Test Management tools.

Haha, this question is like a maze of traceability! I bet the exam writers are enjoying this little trick question.

Wait, I think I've got it! Option B is the correct answer. Traceability doesn't enable experience-based testing, it's more about coverage and impact analysis.

Okay, let me think this through. If traceability is about linking test cases to the test basis, then option B must be false. Applying experience-based techniques doesn't require that kind of traceability.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I thought traceability was all about making connections, but this question is throwing me off.
