To show the sequence of steps in a business process

To illustrate the architecture of the system components

Objective: Designing Acceptance Tests CT-ACT Practice Questions (Page 3)

Part of the Domain 2: Acceptance Criteria, Acceptance Tests and Experience-Based Practices domain, which makes up ~23% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 60-minute exam (~25–40 total, ~6–9 in this domain), expect 2–3 from this objective — we provide 25 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
