After adapting a set of abstract test cases into executable scripts, a tester modifies one script to fix a defect found during execution. The team later discovers that the corresponding abstract test case in the model was not updated. What is the most significant risk of this situation?

The script will run faster than the model intends.

The traceability matrix will show an extra link that does not exist.

The model and the script will diverge, so future test generation will not reflect the fix.

The executable script will no longer compile in the target environment.

Why might test cases need adaptation when the target environment has a different network configuration than the one used during test design?

Because network addresses, ports, and protocols may differ

Because the network configuration determines the programming language used for test scripts

Because the network configuration changes the business logic of the application

Because the network configuration affects the color depth of the display

A model-based test suite for a banking application contains a single abstract test case: 'Transfer funds from Account A to Account B'. The team must execute this test against three different backend environments: a development sandbox, a staging environment, and a production-like environment. Each environment uses different account numbers and different URLs. The team wants to avoid duplicating the test case three times. Which adaptation technique is most appropriate?

Data binding to link the test case to a single static data file for all environments.

Parameterization to replace hard-coded account numbers and URLs with variables bound per environment.

Manual adaptation to create three separate scripts, one per environment.

Interface mapping to translate the abstract 'Transfer funds' action into environment-specific API calls.

Part of the MBT Test Implementation and Execution domain, which makes up ~16% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 60-minute exam (~25–40 total, ~4–6 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 28 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
