BCS CTFL4 Exam - Topic 4 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's CTFL4 exam

Question #: 4
Topic #: 4

Which two of the following statements describe the advantages provided by good traceability between the test basis and test work products?

I . Analyzing the impact of changes.

ii . A measure of code quality.

iii . Accurate test estimation.

iv . Making testing auditable.

Select the correct answer:

Ai and ii

Bi and iv

Ci and iii

Dii and iii

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Good traceability between the test basis and test work products provides several advantages: i. Analyzing the impact of changes: Traceability allows for easy identification of which parts of the test work products will be affected by changes in the requirements or design, facilitating impact analysis. iv . Making testing auditable: Traceability ensures that there is a clear connection between the requirements and the test cases, which makes the testing process auditable and provides evidence that all requirements have been tested.

This is a good question. The tester should definitely remove the spawned shells and any created user accounts to cover their tracks. The server logs are also important to clear out. Reboot the system to help hide any other evidence.

I'm feeling a bit cheeky today, so I'm gonna say D) ii and iii. Why? Because if you can't measure the code quality, how can you expect to estimate the testing accurately? It's like trying to hit a moving target blindfolded!
