CTAL-ATT Exam Dumps : Certified Tester Advanced Level Agile Technical Tester

Definition of "Atomic" in Unit Testing:

An atomic test focuses on a single, isolated piece of functionality.

This ensures clarity and simplicity in verifying the behavior of that specific functionality.

Analyzing the Options:

A: Describes a deterministic test, not an atomic one.

B: Atomic tests do not verify all details but rather focus on a specific area.

D: Speed is a desirable characteristic but does not define atomicity.

C: Testing only the targeted functionality aligns with the definition of atomicity.

References:Aligned with ISTQB Agile Technical Tester objectives regarding unit test properties like scope and focus.

 In Agile projects, test cases may need to be refactored to improve their clarity and maintainability. This process makes the test cases easier to understand and cheaper to modify, which is essential in Agile environments where changes are frequent and rapid. Refactoring test cases ensures that they remain effective and efficient as the codebase evolves, allowing for quick adjustments in response to new requirements or changes in the system under test.

References = The ISTQB Advanced Level Agile Technical Tester documents emphasize the importance of refactoring test cases in Agile projects to maintain their effectiveness and efficiency1.

FIRST Acronym in Unit Testing:

Fast: Unit tests should execute quickly.

Isolated: They should run independently of other tests.

Repeatable: Tests should yield consistent results under the same conditions.

Self-validating: Results should indicate a pass or fail automatically.

Thorough: Each test should comprehensively cover the targeted functionality.

Analyzing the Options:

A: Incorrect terms such as "Iterative" and "Tolerant" are unrelated to unit tests.

C: Includes terms like "Recorded" and "Source-controlled," which do not align with FIRST.

D: Terms like "Immediate" and "Transparent" are unrelated to unit testing principles.

References:Aligned with ISTQB Agile Technical Tester syllabus defining unit test characteristics using the FIRST acronym.
