CTAL-TTA Exam Dumps : Certified Tester Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst

An ISTQB defined technique for identifying risks when defining a risk-based approach to testing the performance efficiency of a new application is to analyze the requirements to look for areas where performance efficiency requirements have not been well-defined. This technique ensures that testing efforts are focused on areas of the application that are critical for performance but may have insufficient coverage in terms of detailed requirements​​.

The control flow graph provided illustrates the decision points for an airline's upgrade and boarding process. Decision coverage is a measure of the percentage of decision points executed during testing:

Test 1 covers the decision points: Gold card? (Yes) and Business full? (No).

Test 2 covers: Gold card? (No) and Economy full? (No).

Test 3 covers the decision that leads to being bumped from the flight, which is Economy full? (Yes) and Business full? (Yes).

From the given tests, the decision points for Gold card? (No) and Business full? (No) are not tested, leaving us with 4 out of 6 decision points covered, which is approximately 67% decision coverage.

Analysis:

Compatibility testing is essential for applications that are designed to work across various hardware and software environments, particularly for mobile devices which can have diverse specifications and operating systems.

C. To evaluate the degree to which it can effectively and efficiently be adapted for different or evolving hardware environments:

This option addresses the core purpose of compatibility testing for a mobile application. It ensures that the application works as intended across different mobile devices and operating systems, which is crucial for public transport applications that must function reliably on various devices used by the public.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

A. To evaluate the degree to which it is operational and accessible when required for use:

This is more related to availability and reliability rather than compatibility.

B. To evaluate the degree to which its functions facilitate the accomplishment of specified tasks and objectives:

This pertains to functionality testing, not compatibility.

D. To evaluate the degree to which the system is operational and accessible when required for use:

This duplicates option A and is not directly related to compatibility.
