ISTQB Test Analyst Sample Questions:

01. A mobile operator's product specification defines three parameters:
- Plan: Prepaid, Postpaid Basic, Postpaid Plus
- Add-on: None, Roaming, Streaming
- Contract term: None, Monthly, 12 months
It also contains these statements:
- The Roaming add-on is available with every postpaid plan.
- Postpaid Basic cannot be combined with any add-on.
- Prepaid plans have no contract term.
- The Streaming add-on requires a 12-month contract.
The test analyst builds a combinatorial testing model and derives its constraints from the statements.
For which combination is the specification inconsistent?
a) Postpaid Basic, Roaming, 12 months
b) Postpaid Plus, Streaming, 12 months
c) Prepaid, Streaming, None
d) Postpaid Plus, Roaming, Monthly
 
02. A Test Analyst prepares interoperability tests for a food delivery platform built from microservices. The interface specification describes the calls between the order service and the payment service. Developers mention that the order service also notifies a courier-tracking service, which the interface specification does not describe.
How should the Test Analyst obtain the information needed to define test conditions for this interaction?
a) Reuse the order service's usability test cases that cover its notification screens
b) Limit the test conditions to the interactions documented in the interface specification
c) Treat it as a coexistence concern and refer it to the Technical Test Analyst
d) Derive it from the architecture and design documentation describing the services
 
03. For testing a new HR payroll system, a Test Analyst copies employee records from production. Each employee's name and national ID number are replaced with an artificial identifier such as EMP-00417, while the salary, grade and department values are kept.
Which kind of test data has been created?
a) Anonymized data, since all information identifying an individual is removed
b) Synthetic data, since the records are created with controlled variability
c) Pseudonymized data, since personal details are replaced by artificial identifiers
d) Production data, since the records are used without modification
 
04. A telecom billing test case has the precondition 'Subscriber account is both suspended and active'. The billing system allows an account to hold only one of these statuses at a time, so the test case cannot be started. Its title states a clear test objective, it is traced to requirement BIL-12, and it has four steps checking a single coverage item.
Which quality criterion for test cases is NOT met?
a) Necessity, as every test case must cover a clear objective
b) Feasibility, as it must be possible to execute every test case
c) Traceability, as every test case must be traced to its requirements
d) Conciseness, as every test case must focus on few coverage items
 
05. An HR payroll system is tested with records copied from production, including employee salaries and bank account numbers. The Test Analyst needs tool support to generate and maintain the records used as test inputs while protecting these sensitive values.
Which type of tool is primarily intended for this?
a) Defect management tool that logs and prioritizes data issues
b) Configuration management tool for test environment availability
c) Test data management tool
d) Requirement management tool that versions data requirements
 
06. A bank's mobile app team has run the same fixed set of 120 regression tests in every test cycle for a year. During that time the app gained open-banking payments and lost its cheque-image upload feature. Fifteen of the 120 tests now fail in every cycle because the features they check were removed, and none of the tests exercise open-banking payments.
Which of the following BEST describes what the Test Analyst should have done?
a) Reviewed the 15 failing tests each cycle and reported them as known failures in the test completion report
b) Extended the suite once a year with tests for new features while keeping every existing test
c) Replaced the whole suite each cycle with tests drawn only from the latest user stories
d) Reviewed the regression scope in every test cycle and adjusted the suite as the features changed
 
07. A test analyst is asked to explain orthogonal defect classification (ODC) to a development team that currently records only a priority for each defect.
Which of the following descriptions of ODC is correct?
a) It classifies each defect by severity alone, using levels such as critical, major, minor and trivial
b) It classifies each defect into mutually exclusive attributes, collected when it is reported and when it is fixed
c) It classifies each defect into overlapping attributes, all of them collected once, when the defect is first reported
d) It maps each defect to a quality characteristic from a model such as ISO/IEC 25010 or FURPS
 
08. A test analyst writes a test charter for exploring the claims settlement workflow of an insurance system. Before the session can begin, the fraud-scoring service must be running and at least ten open claims must exist in the database.
Under which part of the test charter should the analyst record this information?
a) Entry criteria
b) Limitations
c) Historical information
d) Test scope
 
09. An insurer uses an AI-based system that predicts the annual premium for a car policy. No expected premiums are available. The Test Analyst defines this metamorphic relation: if the number of claims in the last five years increases and all other inputs stay the same, the predicted premium must not decrease.
The source test case (1 claim) returned a premium of €820. Five follow-up test cases were run.
Which follow-up test cases show a violation of this metamorphic relation?
Select TWO options.
a) 2 claims, all other inputs unchanged: €820
b) 0 claims, all other inputs unchanged: €760
c) 4 claims, all other inputs unchanged: €815
d) 2 claims, lower vehicle value: €800
e) 3 claims, all other inputs unchanged: €790
 
10. The CRUD matrix for a municipal library system contains 18 operation entries (C, R, U and D initials) across all functions and entities. The consistency test suite executes 12 distinct operation entries at least once; three of those 12 entries are each executed by several test cases.
What CRUD coverage has the test suite achieved?
a) 67%
b) 83%
c) 50%
d) 33%
