Actual exam question for ASTQB's CTFL exam

Question #: 77
Topic #: 3

[All CTFL Questions]

Which of the following types of test tool are most likely to include traceability functions?

(i) Performance testing tool

(ii) Requirements management tool

(iii) Configuration management tool

(iv) Static analysis tool

A(i) and (ii)

B(i) and (iv)

C(ii) and (iii)

D(iii) and (iv)

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Requirements management tools (ii) have traceability because they enable test conditions and subsequently test scripts and defects to be traced back to requirements. Configuration management tools (iii) also need to trace the appropriate version of a test script to the release or version of a system or module.

Performance monitoring tools (i) and static analysis tools (iv) are designed for specific objectives. Neither of these tools particularly need traceability functions.

I always thought configuration management was key for traceability!

Wait, are we sure static analysis tools even track anything?

(ii) and (iii) seem like the best combo for traceability.

I disagree, performance tools can have traceability too.

Definitely think it's (ii) Requirements management tool!

I thought static analysis tools were more about code quality than traceability, so I’m leaning towards options that include requirements management tools.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like requirements management tools are the key here, but I can't recall if configuration management tools also play a role.

I think performance testing tools might not have traceability functions, but I could be mixing that up with static analysis tools.

I remember that requirements management tools are definitely linked to traceability, but I'm not sure about the others.

Okay, let me review the options again carefully. I think the key is understanding which tools typically focus on tracing requirements and configurations.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The performance testing tool and static analysis tool don't seem like the obvious choices, but I could be missing something.

I'm pretty confident the answer is (ii) and (iii) - requirements and configuration management tools usually have traceability built-in.

Hmm, traceability functions - that's a good clue. I'm guessing the requirements management tool and configuration management tool would be the most likely to have that capability.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different types of test tools and their typical features.

Configuration management and traceability, huh? Sounds like a recipe for job security to me. I'll take it!

Static analysis tools? Pfft, only if you want to spend hours staring at code and praying for a miracle. Give me a good old-fashioned performance test any day.
