ASTQB Exam ASTQB Topic 3 Question 90 Discussion

Actual exam question for ASTQB's ASTQB exam

Question #: 90
Topic #: 3

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.

Haha, 7 lists saved? What is this, a shopping app for superheroes? B is the way to go, my friend.

I'm not sure about that. I think we should also consider List with 47 items to test the upper boundary limit. It's important to cover all possibilities to achieve 100% coverage.

I agree with you, Barbra. Including those test conditions will ensure we cover all the boundaries and possible scenarios in the application.

Whoa, 58 items in a list? That's just asking for trouble. I'd go with B - better safe than sorry, you know?

C looks good to me. No need to test every single item count, just the min, max, and one in between.

Ha, 51 items in a list? Good luck with that! But you're right, option B seems to cover all the key boundaries.

I think the answer is B. Boundary value analysis requires testing the minimum, maximum, and one value on either side of the boundary conditions.

True, but option B covers all the required test conditions more comprehensively.

But what about option C? It also covers the minimum, maximum, and one value on either side of the boundary conditions.
