A team is using MBT and has a test model with traceability links to requirements. A requirement is deleted. What should the team do with the traceability links?

Remove the traceability links and update the test model to remove any elements that were only there for that requirement.

Keep the traceability links in case the requirement is reinstated.

Leave the test model unchanged and just mark the requirement as deleted in the traceability matrix.

Delete the entire test model and start over.

A team is using MBT for a system that has both sequential processes and complex decision logic. They want to create a test model that can generate test cases for both aspects. What should they do?

Create two separate test models and generate test cases from each independently.

Create a single test model that combines a state machine for the sequential processes and a decision table for the decision logic.

Use only a state machine and add the decision logic as annotations.

Use only a decision table and represent the sequential processes as conditions.

A requirement change is approved that affects the business rules for discounts. The team uses MBT with a decision table as the test model. What is the most efficient way to update the test suite?

Create a new decision table for the new rules and keep the old one for regression.

Delete all test cases and create new ones from scratch.

Update the decision table with the new discount rules and regenerate the test cases.

Manually update each test case that involves discounts.

How can model-based testing help validate that requirements are testable?

By measuring the performance of the system

By generating test cases from the model, which reveals untestable or vague requirements

By ensuring that all requirements are implemented in code

By automatically fixing ambiguous requirements

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 29 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
