  1. According to ISTQB, which of the following is NOT a typical benefit of test execution tools?

    Answer: Automatic generation of test oracles for all scenarios

    Test execution tools automate running tests but do not automatically generate test oracles; determining expected results still requires human judgment.

  2. A tool that identifies the percentage of code exercised by a set of tests is called a:

    Answer: Code coverage tool

    Code coverage tools measure which statements, branches, or paths in the source code are executed during testing and report the percentage covered.

  3. When piloting a new test tool, which of the following should be evaluated first?

    Answer: The tool's compatibility with the organization's existing processes and infrastructure

    Compatibility with existing processes, tools, and infrastructure is the most critical factor because incompatible tools require costly workarounds or replacements.

  4. Which statement about keyword-driven test automation frameworks is correct?

    Answer: Business stakeholders can contribute to test design by defining action keywords without coding knowledge

    Keyword-driven frameworks separate test logic from implementation, allowing non-technical stakeholders to define test steps using readable action keywords.

  5. A performance testing tool is being used to simulate 500 concurrent users on a web application. What term describes the simulated users generated by the tool?

    Answer: Virtual users

    Virtual users (VUs) are simulated entities generated by performance testing tools to mimic real user behavior and load on a system.

  6. Which of the following is a disadvantage of record-and-playback test automation?

    Answer: Scripts become brittle and require significant maintenance when the UI changes

    Record-and-playback scripts are tightly coupled to UI elements and break easily when the interface changes, resulting in high maintenance costs.

  7. In ISTQB terminology, a tool that simulates the behavior of missing software components during testing is called a:

    Answer: Test harness

    A test harness (or test framework) includes stubs and drivers that simulate missing components, allowing modules to be tested in isolation.
