A team is setting up MBT for a system that uses a third-party cloud service. The test cases need to run in a CI/CD pipeline. The team is concerned about the cost and speed of running the full test suite. They also need to ensure that tests are reliable and do not fail due to external service issues. What is the best approach?

Use a test harness that mocks the third-party service for most tests, and run a smaller set of integration tests against the real service in a separate, less frequent pipeline.

Mock the third-party service for all tests and never test against the real service.

Run all tests against the real third-party service in every pipeline run.

Run the full test suite only once a week to reduce cost.

In MBT, what is the purpose of scheduling test cases for execution?

To generate test data for the test cases

To determine the order and timing of test execution

To evaluate the quality of the model

What is a key characteristic of a well-structured test execution report?

It lists every possible test case, whether executed or not

It provides a subjective opinion on system quality

It includes a summary of results and detailed information for debugging

A development team has just fixed a bug in the login module of an application. The MBT model was updated to reflect the corrected behavior. The team wants to ensure the fix works and that no other functionality was broken. What is the most appropriate re-execution strategy?

Run the test cases that cover the login module and a selective set of tests for related modules that interact with it.

Run only the test cases that failed before the fix.

Run the full regression suite every time a bug is fixed.

Do not re-run any tests because the model was updated.

When is a full regression approach most appropriate in model-based testing?

When only minor changes are made to the system

When there is limited time for testing

When the model has undergone significant changes

When the test suite is very large
