ASTQB Exam - Topic 2 Question 95 Discussion

Actual exam question for ASTQB's ASTQB exam

Question #: 95
Topic #: 2

You are testing a native application for a smart phone. The application allows the user to make grocery lists on the phone and store up to three lists at a time. A list can contain up to 50 items.

Which of the following is the minimum set of test conditions to achieve 100% coverage with the boundary value analysis test technique?

AList with 47 items

BList with 0 items, List with 1 item, List with 50 items, List with 51 items, 0 lists saved, 1 list saved, 3 lists saved, 4 lists saved

CList with 0 items, List with 25 items, List with 51 items, 3 lists saved

DList with 0 items, List with 12 item, List with 58 items, 0 lists saved, 1 list saved, 3 lists saved, 7 lists saved

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

B is correct because it is doing BVA on both the list quantity and the list saving capability. D is incorrect because it has achieved EP coverage, but didn't get the boundaries. A is incorrect because it doesn't consider the list save capabilities and it doesn't test the invalid values for the list. C is incorrect because it does not sufficiently test the save feature.

I’m surprised they allow only 3 lists, seems too limiting!

Wait, why would we test 51 items? That’s not even allowed!

I think A is enough, 47 items is close enough!

Option B covers all the edge cases.

I thought we only needed to test the exact limits, but now I'm wondering if we should also include cases like 51 items or 4 lists saved to really cover everything.

I feel like I practiced a question similar to this, but I can't recall if we needed to test just above and below the limits for both items and lists.

I think option B looks familiar because it includes the minimum and maximum values for both items and lists, which seems like a good approach for 100% coverage.

I remember we discussed boundary value analysis in class, but I'm not sure if I covered all the edge cases for the number of items and lists.

This seems straightforward. I'll just go with option B - it covers all the key boundary conditions.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll need to test a list with 0 items, 1 item, 50 items, and 51 items. And for the saved lists, I'll need to test 0, 1, 3, and 4 lists.
