A test engineer must execute a test case for a login function. The test case must specify the exact username 'user01', password 'Passw0rd!', and the expected result 'Login successful'. Which type of test case is this?

A high-level test case because it describes the login objective

A test condition because it only states what needs to be verified

A low-level test case because it contains concrete input values and expected results

A test procedure because it defines the steps to execute

What is a trade-off of using low-level test cases with many concrete details?

They do not need to be updated when requirements change

They are independent of the model, so maintenance is trivial

They are easier to maintain because they are precise

They are harder to maintain because changes may require updating many details

What do traceability links in MBT typically connect?

Model elements to programming code

Test cases to model elements and requirements

Test cases to test execution logs

Which statement best defines a high-level test case in model-based testing?

A detailed script written in a programming language for automated execution

A concrete set of executable steps with specific input values and expected outputs

A record of the actual results obtained during a test execution

An abstract description of what to test, independent of technology and implementation details

What is a defining feature of a low-level test case?

It is used only for manual testing

It is derived directly from requirements without any model

It is technology-agnostic and abstract

It contains concrete data values and expected outcomes

High-Level and Low-Level Test Cases in the MBT Context CT-MBT Practice Questions (Page 6)

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.
