CTAL-TA_Syll2019 Exam Dumps : ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Analyst (Syllabus 2019)

In a keyword-driven test automation approach, the Test Analyst is responsible for defining the keywords that represent the actions and expected outcomes of the test cases. The keywords are then implemented by a developer or a tool as reusable functions or scripts that can be executed by the test automation framework. For example, the Test Analyst can define keywords such as “transfer”, “check balance”, “verify balance”, etc. for the account transfer user story. These keywords can then be used to design test cases in a data-driven or table-driven format, such as:

The smallest set of test conditions to provide minimum coverage of the boundary values is the one that tests the minimum and maximum values for each category of carpet installation prices, as well as the values that are just above or below the boundaries. Option A covers these values, as it tests the boundary values of 0, 20, and 40 square yards, as well as the values that are one square yard more or less than these boundaries. It also tests the maximum possible value for the carpet area and the value that exceeds it. The other options do not test all the boundary values or have redundant values. References =

The specification does not clearly define the dependencies between the power unit and the body style options. For example, it is not clear if the user can select a hybrid power unit and then choose a saloon body style, or if the hybrid option is only available after selecting a hatchback body style. Similarly, it is not clear if the user can select an SUV body style and then choose a hybrid power unit, or if the SUV option is only available with petrol or diesel power units. These dependencies affect the usability of the site, as they may confuse the user or limit their choices. The specification should specify the valid combinations of power unit and body style, and how the site will handle invalid or unavailable combinations. References = ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level Syllabus Technical Test Analyst, page 80, section 5.3.2.1.
