A product owner, developers, and testers are collaborating to define the behavior of a new login feature. They want to use a technique that allows all stakeholders to understand and agree on the expected behavior in a common language. Which approach should they use?

Create a prototype and let the product owner test it manually to confirm the behavior.

Use Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) with scenarios written in a Given-When-Then format.

Have developers write unit tests first and then share them with the product owner for approval.

Write detailed technical specifications and have testers translate them into test cases.

A team is developing a new e-commerce website. They have completed component testing and are now integrating the modules. What is the primary focus of integration testing at this stage?

Validating the entire system against the business requirements.

Testing the interactions between modules and the interfaces between them.

Evaluating the system's performance under load.

Verifying that each module functions correctly in isolation.

In Acceptance Test-Driven Development, when are acceptance tests typically created?

Only during the final acceptance testing phase

After the code is written, to verify it works

By the test team alone, without business input

Before development begins, in collaboration with business stakeholders

A project is using the waterfall model. The team has just completed the coding phase. What is the next testing activity that should be performed?

Component testing, followed by integration testing, then system testing.

Acceptance testing with the end users to validate the system against requirements.

Regression testing to ensure that new changes have not broken existing functionality.

System testing immediately, because the entire system is already coded.

Part of the Domain 2: Testing Throughout the Software Development Lifecycle domain, which makes up ~16% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 60-minute exam (~25–40 total, ~4–6 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 34 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
