A team is adopting AI-based test generation for the first time. What is a recommended first step for integration?

Use AI generation only for regression testing, not for new features

Immediately replace all manual test cases with AI-generated ones

Skip training and rely on the AI tool's default settings

Start with a pilot project on a small, well-understood module

An organization has a large test suite that takes too long to execute. They want to use AI to reduce the suite while maintaining high fault detection. What is the best approach?

Use a search-based algorithm to select a subset of test cases that maximizes coverage and fault detection

Use a model-based approach to generate test cases from a state machine

Use a generative model to create new test cases that are similar to existing ones

Use a machine learning classifier to predict which test cases are most likely to fail and delete the rest

What is a primary benefit of using AI to generate synthetic input data for testing?

It eliminates the need for any test oracles

It guarantees that all possible defects will be found

It ensures the test data is always identical to production data

It can create large volumes of realistic data without needing production data

A team has two AI-generated test suites. Suite A has high code coverage but low mutation score. Suite B has lower code coverage but higher mutation score. Which suite is more effective at finding bugs?

Suite A, because high code coverage ensures all code is tested

Suite B, because mutation score is a better indicator of fault detection

Neither is effective because AI-generated tests are unreliable

Both are equally effective because they cover different aspects

Using AI for Test Case Generation CT-AI Practice Questions (Page 4)

Part of the Domain 11: Using AI for Testing domain, which makes up ~11% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 60-minute exam (~25–40 total, ~3–4 in this domain), expect 1–1 from this objective — we provide 24 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
