What is the main goal of applying structured review techniques to MBT models?

To identify defects and improve the quality of the model

To replace the need for testing

To generate test cases directly from the model

To automate the model validation process

Which of the following is a common defect found in MBT models during validation?

Incorrect test case execution order

Missing states or transitions that represent required system behavior

A team uses an MBT tool that supports model simulation. They have just made a significant change to a state model. What is the most efficient way to get early feedback on the model's behavior before generating full test suites?

Wait until the model is complete before doing any validation.

Run the model simulator with representative input sequences to observe state transitions and outputs.

Generate the full test suite and run it against the system to see if the model is correct.

Manually trace through the model on paper for a few scenarios.

A team is reviewing a large state model for an order processing system. The model has 40 states and 120 transitions. A reviewer suggests using a checklist to verify that all requirements are covered. Another reviewer argues that a checklist is insufficient because the model is large and complex. What is the most effective review strategy?

Use a combination of a requirements traceability matrix and a checklist to ensure both coverage and consistency.

Rely solely on the checklist because it is the standard review technique.

Skip the review and rely on automated test generation to find defects.

Review only the most complex states and ignore the rest.

How can tooling support the review and validation of MBT models?

By eliminating the need for manual reviews

By automatically fixing all defects without human intervention

By generating test cases that are always correct

By providing features like model checking, simulation, and traceability analysis

Part of the MBT Modeling domain, which makes up ~27% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 60-minute exam (~25–40 total, ~7–11 in this domain), expect 1–1 from this objective — we provide 27 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
