Which of the following is a primary activity in MBT modeling?

Creating and maintaining the test model

Defining the project budget and schedule

Executing test cases on the system under test

Reporting defects found during testing

A company is introducing MBT and must decide who is responsible for creating and maintaining the test model. The team includes business analysts, developers, and testers. What is the best assignment of responsibilities?

A collaborative effort with testers, developers, and analysts, each contributing their expertise

Developers only, because they know the system implementation

Business analysts, because they know the requirements

Testers alone, because they understand testing best

A project manager wants to adopt MBT but is concerned about the cost of tooling and training. The team is small and has no MBT experience. What is the most cost-effective way to introduce MBT?

Wait until the team gains experience with manual testing before adopting MBT

Avoid tooling altogether and create models manually on paper

Start with an open-source or trial MBT tool and invest in targeted training for a few team members

Purchase an enterprise MBT tool and hire an external consultant to train the team

A team is using MBT and has just generated test cases from the model. They notice that some generated tests are not executable because they reference actions that are not implemented. What is the most likely cause?

The model includes behavior that is not yet implemented in the system

The team did not execute the tests properly

The test generation tool is faulty

The requirements were incomplete

A team is about to start MBT modeling. They have gathered the system specification and a list of stakeholder requirements. What should they do with these artifacts before building the model?

Validate that the requirements are consistent and complete enough to support modeling

Discard the requirements and use only the system specification

Store the artifacts in the tool and let the tool automatically generate the model

Convert the requirements directly into test cases without modeling
