Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Code coverage tool

Answer

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

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 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?

Accepted Answer

Virtual users

Answer

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