CTFL-2018 Real Exam Questions Test Engine Dumps Training With 40 Questions

What Prerequisites Are There for CTFL 2018 Exam?

No mandatory requirements are spelled out for the ISTQB CTFL 2018 test, but it’s advisable for applicants to be in deep awareness of the syllabus. Another recommendation is that any candidate aspiring to sit for the exam should have not less than six months of experience in the software testing or software development sphere. Also, passing through training from a provider that has been accredited by ISTQB will be a good choice of the preparation option. This will help you better understand the exam objectives that include:

Testing throughout the SLDC (Software Development Lifecycle)
Test techniques
Testing fundamentals
Test management
Static testing

Who Should Take CTFL 2018 Exam?

CTFL 2018 test is created for the industry beginners who expect to venture into different roles that include testers, test engineers, test managers, test analysts, and software developers. If you intend to operate as a user acceptance software tester, then the exam will be beneficial for you too. Moreover, the professionals of the related fields that require such knowledge can take advantage of CTFL 2018. These are business analysts, consultants, project managers, software development managers, project managers, etc.

NO.23 You are performing a review of your colleague’s test cases based on the following test basis document:

The Test Cases are as follows:
TC1. Success – valid ‘User Name’ and ‘Password’; Customer Menu displayed TC2. Failure – ‘User Name’ field has blank entry; Error Number 12 displayed TC3. Failure – ‘User Id’ entered does not exist on database (i.e. unregistered user); Error Number 23 displayed TC4. Failure – ‘Password’ entered does not match user’s password on database; Error Number 24 displayed You are guided by the following checklist in your review:
C1. There must be one test case to cover success
C2. There must be one test case for each error path (e.g. validation failure) C3. Each test case must use terminology consistent with the test basis document (field names, error numbering, etc.) Record a separate defect for each missing test case (checklist items C1 and C2) and for each test case that does not meet checklist item C3.
How many defects should you record?

NO.24 Which of the following options BEST explains the pesticide paradox principle of testing?

If we do not regularly review and revise our tests, we’ll stop finding defects.

NO.33 Your agile project has scheduled a final sprint before release to fix and re-test all open defects with a priority level of 3 or above.
The following defect report shows the defect fields that are currently being captured on the system.
Title: Unable to add excursions to pre-paid cruises
Date raised: 21/05/18
Author: Emma Rigby
Status: Fixed
What occurred: I went to book an excursion for a pre-paid cruise but received an error message saying,
‘Facility not available’. I can book excursions on cruises that have not yet been fully paid.
What should have occurred: Requirement 3.12 says clearly that customers can add excursions after cruises have been fully paid so the facility should have been available (when an additional amount may now need to be paid).
Priority: 2
Software build: 2.1
Test level: System test
Environment details: System test 3
Which of ONE of the following additional defect report fields would be MOST beneficial for the sprint team to add?

Severity.

Test Script Id.

Actual results.

Expected results.

NO.34 When comparing Static and Dynamic test techniques, which of the following statements is TRUE?

Static Testing finds failures, whilst Dynamic Testing only finds the cause of failures.

Static Testing techniques, such as reviews, can be undertaken before Dynamic Testing, making defects cheaper to remove.

Static Testing is based on the execution of code, whist Dynamic Testing relies on examination and analysis.

Only Static Testing has the objective of identifying defects.

NO.35 Which of the following is NOT a valid use of decision coverage?

Checking that all decisions have been exercised in a single program.

Checking that all decisions have been exercised in a business process.

Checking that all decisions are based on a numeric value.

NO.36 Which of the following BEST describes a methodical approach to the Error Guessing test technique?

A tester dynamically designs and executes tests based on their knowledge, exploration of the test item and the results of previous tests.

An experienced tester makes a list of potential defects and failures, and designs and runs tests to generate these failures should the defects be present in the code.

A tester designs, implements and executes tests to cover test conditions found in checklists that are based on what is important for the user.

An inexperienced tester is asked to attempt to guess errors that may have been missed by experienced testers during formal test design.

The metrics-based technique uses metrics supplied by the current test team based on their subjective feel for effort required.

In an expert-based approach, the test lead with the most years in the role is chosen to produce the estimate.

NO.39 Tests have been specified for the latest software release and users have prioritised these.
However, there are some dependencies between tests as shown in the table below (e.g. Test ID. ‘123’ cannot be run until Test ID. ‘456’ has been successfully completed).
