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

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.

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 use case only describes the normal or happy path scenario, where the user performs a successful cash withdrawal. However, it does not consider any alternative or exceptional scenarios, such as invalid card, incorrect PIN, insufficient balance, network failure, etc. These scenarios are important to test the robustness and reliability of the ATM system, and should be included in the use case specification. References = ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level Syllabus Test Analyst, Section 2.2.1, Use Case Testing1; ISTQB Advanced Level Test Analyst (CTAL) Exam Study Guide, Section 2.2.1, Use Case Testing2
