ATM Exam Dumps : Advanced Test Management Exam v 3.0 – ISTQB

Context Analysis:

The scenario involves tight integration, architectural design, and data transformations, requiring detailed and structured approaches.

Access to architectural documents and experienced testers (former developers) aligns with model-based and white-box techniques.

Evaluation of Options:

A. Model-based and white-box:

Correct. Model-based testing leverages design documents, while white-box testing uses internal knowledge for detailed integration testing.

B. Experience-based and black-box:

Incorrect. This is less structured and doesn’t utilize available design documentation or tester expertise.

C. Risk-based and non-functional:

Incorrect. Risk-based testing focuses on high-priority areas but doesn’t leverage the design documents for integration specifics.

D. Requirements-based and functional:

Incorrect. While functional testing is relevant, requirements-based testing does not utilize internal system knowledge effectively.

Syllabus Alignment:

ISTQB emphasizes model-based and white-box testing as appropriate for systems with complex integrations (TM-1.2.6).

Experience-Based Testing:

This testing approach relies on the testers' knowledge, experience, and intuition about the system and its usage rather than formal requirements or models.

It is often used when documentation is incomplete or time constraints limit more structured approaches.

Evaluation of Options:

A(Detailed requirements) andB(Usage models) are associated with structured testing techniques.

Cis correct as experience-based testing depends on the testers' understanding of the system.

D(Full risk assessment) supports risk-based testing, not experience-based testing.

References and Syllabus Alignment:

Experience-based testing is detailed under "Test Techniques" (TM-1.4.1) in the ISTQB syllabus​​.

Purpose of Retrospectives:

Retrospectives are team meetings aimed at reflecting on the work process to identify what went well (strengths) and areas that can be improved (opportunities).

This aligns with continuous process improvement practices.

Evaluation of Options:

A(Everyone shakes hands) is trivial and not a core activity.

B(Reviewing data collection methods) may be part of broader discussions but is not the primary focus.

Cis correct because it directly reflects retrospective goals.

D(Brainstorming solutions) typically occurs in follow-up sessions, not during the retrospective itself.

References and Syllabus Alignment:

Retrospective practices are emphasized in "Improving the Test Process" (TM-1.5.4) in the syllabus​​.
