A team uses an MBT tool that reads a state machine model and automatically produces executable test cases with concrete input values. What is this process called?

Manual test design based on requirements

Test data preparation for execution

Test case generation from the model

A project manager wants to estimate the testing effort for a new module. The team has a model and can generate low-level test cases, but the model is not yet complete. What is the best way to provide an early estimate?

Estimate based on the number of requirements without any test case structure

Use high-level test cases to outline the test objectives and estimate effort based on their complexity

Use the number of defects from the previous project as the estimate

Wait until the model is complete and count the generated low-level test cases

During the requirements phase, a business analyst asks the test team to confirm that all functional requirements are testable. The team has not yet chosen any test tools. What should the team produce to support this discussion?

A list of automated test scripts for each requirement

Low-level test cases with exact input values for each requirement

A test execution schedule for the upcoming sprint

High-level test cases that map each requirement to a test objective and condition

During test execution, a low-level test case fails because the actual result differs from the expected result. The test engineer needs to report this issue. What information from the low-level test case is most important for the defect report?

The name of the test automation tool used

The total number of test cases in the suite

The high-level test objective that the test case was derived from

The specific input values, preconditions, and expected result from the test case

A team has a high-level test case 'Verify that a user can reset a forgotten password'. The team needs to execute this on desktop, mobile web, and mobile app. How many low-level test cases should the team expect to derive?

Zero, because high-level test cases are executed directly

At least three, one for each platform, possibly more if additional conditions are identified

Exactly three, no more and no less

Exactly one, because the high-level case describes a single objective

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 36 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
