A team is evaluating the effectiveness of their test selection criteria. They have a model with 10 requirements and 20 transitions. They apply requirement-based coverage and achieve 100% requirement coverage. What does this tell them about transition coverage?

Transition coverage is also 100%

Transition coverage is at least 50%

A team is defining test selection criteria for a model. They want to ensure that the selected test cases are effective at finding faults. What is the most important factor to consider when defining the criteria?

The coverage of critical behaviors and requirements

The number of test cases generated

A team has a state machine with 6 states and 10 transitions. They apply the all-transitions criterion and generate a test suite. After execution, they measure that 8 out of 10 transitions were covered. What does this indicate?

The test suite does not satisfy the all-transitions criterion

The test suite satisfies the all-transitions criterion

Which of the following is an example of a structural test selection criterion?

All boundary values for input parameters must be tested

Every requirement must be traced to at least one test case

Test cases must cover all combinations of input equivalence classes

All decision outcomes in the model must be exercised at least once

Part of the Selection Criteria for Test Case Generation domain, which makes up ~19% 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 23 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
