A team must ensure that all high-risk requirements are covered and that the model achieves a minimum branch coverage. They want to use a single test generation approach. What is the best way to achieve both objectives?

Use only requirement-based criteria

Combine requirement-based and risk-based criteria

A team must ensure that all high-risk transitions are tested and that the overall model achieves a minimum level of branch coverage. They want to use a single test generation approach. What is the best way to achieve both objectives?

Combine risk-based and coverage-based criteria

Use only coverage-based criteria

A team is testing a model with a complex decision that includes both a range check and a Boolean flag. They have a limited test budget and need to ensure that the decision is tested for both true and false outcomes and that the boundary values of the range are included. They also want to ensure that the tests are traceable to requirements. Which approach is most comprehensive?

Combine branch coverage, boundary value analysis, and requirement-based criteria

Use only requirement-based criteria

Use only branch coverage and boundary value analysis

What is a common approach when combining coverage-based and risk-based criteria?

Use only risk-based criteria and ignore coverage

Use only coverage-based criteria and ignore risk

Randomly select test cases without any criteria

Generate test cases that achieve coverage goals while prioritizing high-risk elements

In the context of model-based testing, what does branch coverage measure?

The percentage of model elements that are associated with a requirement

The percentage of states in the model that have been visited

The percentage of test cases that passed

The percentage of transitions in the model that have been exercised

Examples of Test Selection Criteria CT-MBT Practice Questions (Page 1)

Part of the Selection Criteria for Test Case Generation domain, which makes up ~19% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 60-minute exam (~25–40 total, ~5–8 in this domain), expect 1–1 from this objective — we provide 28 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
