A team is working on a project where the requirements are poorly understood and change frequently. They are considering using MBT. What is the most appropriate advice?

Avoid MBT because the model would be constantly changing, leading to high maintenance costs.

Use MBT because it can help clarify the requirements by forcing them to be modeled.

Use MBT only for the stable parts of the system.

Avoid MBT because it cannot be used with poorly understood requirements.

A team is using MBT for a new system. They have created a model and generated test cases. During test execution, they find a defect. What is a key benefit of MBT in this situation?

The defect is automatically fixed by the MBT tool.

The defect is less severe than defects found by manual testing.

The defect can be traced back to the model, helping to identify the root cause.

The defect is found earlier in the development lifecycle.

A project is developing a system with frequently changing requirements. The team is considering MBT. What is the most important factor to consider?

The need for a stable and accurate model.

The availability of test execution tools.

The team's experience with test automation.

In which project scenario is model-based testing most likely to be beneficial?

A project with a stable, well-understood system that rarely changes.

A project where the test team has no experience with modeling.

A project with a very short timeline and no existing documentation.

A project with complex business rules and a need for many test combinations.

A team has adopted MBT and created a model for their system. After a few months, they notice that the model is not being updated regularly, and the generated tests are becoming less relevant. What is the most likely cause?

The team is not allocating enough time for model maintenance.

The MBT tool is not powerful enough.

The system is too complex for MBT.

The test execution tools are not compatible with the MBT tool.
