ISTQB CTAL-TTA Value Pack (Frequently Bought Together)

Below is pseudo-code which calculates a customer's cruise credits based on past cruise history:
PROGRAM CALC CRUISE CREDITS (CUST_ID) COUNT_CRUISES, CRUISE_CREDITS,
LOYALTY_RATING: INTEGER CRUISE_LENGTH, CRUISE_ACCOM_TYPE: VAR
* LOYALTY_RATING = 0
* COUNT_CRUISES = 0
* CRUISE_LENGTH = 0
* CRUISE_ACCOM_TYPE = 0
* BEGIN
* READ CUSTOMER'S CRUISE HISTORY TO OBTAIN COUNT OF CRUISES
* READ CRUISE_HISTORY (CUST_ID)
* WHILE COUNT_CRUISES != -1 DO
* READ CUSTOMER'S NEXT CRUISE
* READ NEXT_CRUISE
* IF CRUISE_ACCOM_TYPE = 3 THEN
* CRUISE_CREDITS = CRUISE_CREDITS + 5
* ELSE
* IF CRUISE_ACCOM_TYPE = 2 THEN
* CRUISE_CREDITS = CRUISE_CREDITS + 3
* ELSE
* CRUISE_CREDITS = CRUISE_CREDITS + 2
* ENDIF
* ENDIF
* COUNT_CRUISES = COUNT_CRUISES - 1
* ENDWHILE
* LOYALTY_RATING = CRUISE_CREDITS / COUNT_CRUISES
* WRITE ("CRUISE CREDIT TOTAL IS:")
* WRITE (CRUISE_CREDITS)
* END PROGRAM CALC CRUISE CREDITS
The code contains data flow anomalies on lines 14 and 27. Which examples of data flow anomalies can be found on these lines?

• A. Line 14: Cruise_Credits is re-defined before being used Line 27: Loyalty_Rating is defined but not subsequently used
• B. Line 14: Cruise_Credits is not assigned a value (defined) before being used Line 27: Loyalty_Rating is defined but not subsequently used
• C. Line 14: Cruise_Credits should not be declared as an integer Line 27: Loyalty_Rating should be calculated within the While loop
• D. Line 14: Cruise_Credits is defined but not subsequently used Line 27: Loyalty_Rating is not assigned a value (defined) before being used

Which statement about test automation is TRUE?
SELECT ONE OPTION

• A. Increasing test automation levels will eliminate the need for manual testing during continuous deployment
• B. Minimizing the test suite by selecting, preparing and running only a subset of tests by using risk analysis should always be an objective
• C. Increasing test automation levels to increase the frequency of continuous deployment should always be an objective
• D. Increasing test automation levels may decrease the frequency at which continuous deployments to production can be made

You are a senior Technical Test Analyst on a new government project for the Air Force. The software you are testing is used to control the hydraulics for the landing gear for a supersonic, stealth aircraft. You are responsible for organizing the white-box testing that will be performed for this project.
Which of the following would be the most appropriate technique to apply in this situation?

• A. Decision / condition coverage
• B. Modified condition / decision coverage
• C. Maximum condition / multiple decision coverage
• D. Multiple condition coverage

Which statement is correct regarding the use of exploratory testing for safety critical systems?
SELECT ONE OPTION

• A. It is highly recommended for all risk levels
• B. It is highly recommended for low risk levels only
• C. It is not recommended, as manual black-box tests should be used instead
• D. It should be used when black-box tests cannot be automated
