A project using a sequential SDLC is in the requirements phase. The test team wants to start MBT activities early to improve test quality. What is the most appropriate MBT activity to perform during this phase?

Generate detailed test cases from the requirements to be executed immediately.

Execute test cases generated from a model of the system's code.

Develop the system model from the design documents, which are not yet available.

Create a high-level model of the system's expected behavior from the requirements to identify missing or ambiguous requirements.

A company is adopting MBT and has a team experienced in agile but is considering a sequential SDLC for a new project. What is a potential challenge they might face when applying MBT in a sequential SDLC?

The need to create a comprehensive model early, which may be difficult if requirements are not fully understood.

The inability to use automated test generation tools in a sequential lifecycle.

The need to update the model frequently, which may be time-consuming.

The lack of a formal testing phase, making it hard to schedule MBT activities.

An agile team is adopting MBT for a web application that evolves every two weeks. The product owner frequently reprioritizes features. The team wants to keep their test models aligned with the current sprint's scope. What is the best approach?

Use the same model for all sprints without changes, relying on test execution to catch any mismatches.

Create a comprehensive model at the start of the project and only update it when a major release is planned.

Update the model incrementally at the start of each sprint to reflect the new scope, then generate and execute tests within the sprint.

Maintain a single model that is updated at the end of each sprint to reflect all changes made during that sprint.

In a sequential SDLC, the test team is creating a model from the requirements. The requirements are detailed and include many business rules. What is the primary purpose of creating this model?

To replace the requirements document.

To automate the coding process.

To provide documentation for the development team.

To generate test cases that cover the business rules and validate the requirements.

In an iterative SDLC, how does MBT integrate with development activities?

MBT is integrated within each iteration, with models updated alongside requirements and code

MBT is integrated only during the requirements phase

MBT is not integrated with development activities

MBT is performed as a separate phase after all coding is complete

Part of the Introduction to Model-Based Testing domain, which makes up ~21% 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 32 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
