A team has a model that generates abstract test cases for a mobile app. The model assumes the app runs on a device with a physical keyboard. The target test environment uses an emulator with an on-screen keyboard. The abstract test case includes 'Type text into the search field'. Why must this test case be adapted before execution on the emulator?

The emulator cannot execute any test cases generated from a model.

The emulator's on-screen keyboard requires a different interaction method than a physical keyboard.

The test case must be deleted because physical keyboard input cannot be simulated.

The model must be rewritten to use only emulator-specific actions.

An abstract test case for a search feature says 'Enter search term and press Enter'. The target web application uses a search button that must be clicked, and the search term must be entered into a specific input field. The tester wants to reuse the same abstract test for both desktop and mobile versions of the app, which have different UI layouts. Which adaptation technique is best?

Manual adaptation to write two separate scripts, one for each platform.

Interface mapping to associate the abstract 'Enter search term' action with different locators for desktop and mobile.

Data binding to load different test data files for desktop and mobile.

Parameterization to change the search term for each platform.

When adapting test cases for a different operating system, what environmental difference must be accounted for?

The color scheme of the user interface

The version of the test management tool

File path syntax and command-line commands

The brand of the hardware manufacturer

Certified Tester Model-Based Testing

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.
