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

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 =

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 minimum acceptable level of coverage for this use case is to cover all the scenarios and their combinations. Therefore, we need at least one test case for each of the following:

• Basic scenario single-sided to single-sided
• Alternative single-sided to double-sided
• Alternative copy of a set
• Alternative copy using the automatic document feeder
• Error no paper in paper tray
• Error paper jam
• Error out of staples References = ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level Syllabus Technical Test Analyst, page 63, section 4.4.2.2.
