A model has a decision point with a condition that includes both a range check and a Boolean flag. The team wants to ensure that the decision is tested for both true and false outcomes and that the boundary values of the range are included. Which combination of criteria should be used?

Branch coverage combined with boundary value analysis

Why might testers combine multiple selection criteria in model-based testing?

To ensure that all test cases are executed in a specific order

To make the test generation process more complex

To achieve a more comprehensive test suite that addresses different testing goals

To reduce the need for test oracles

In data-driven test selection, what is the purpose of equivalence partitioning?

To select test cases that cover all possible input values

To assign random values to each input parameter

To divide input data into classes that are expected to be treated similarly by the system

To prioritize test cases based on risk

In model-based testing, what is the primary purpose of test selection criteria?

To determine which test cases to generate from the model

To execute the generated test cases automatically

To report defects found during testing

To define the structure of the test model

A team is testing a model where some transitions are high-risk but rarely used, while others are low-risk but frequently used. They have a limited test budget and want to maximize the detection of high-impact failures while also achieving a reasonable level of overall coverage. Which approach is best?

Use only branch coverage criteria

Use risk-based criteria to prioritize high-risk transitions, then use random selection to supplement coverage

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.
