iSQI CT-AI Exam - Topic 1 Question 33 Discussion

Actual exam question for iSQI's CT-AI exam

Question #: 33
Topic #: 1

Which of the following statements regarding experience-based testing for AI-based systems is correct?

Choose ONE option (1 out of 4)

AIntuitive test case design for AI-based systems involves interactive, hypothesis-driven examination of data for correlations or developmental trends.

BIn checklist-based testing of AI-based systems, the existing test cases are dynamically adapted, for example based on metamorphic testing.

CExploratory testing is often used for AI-based systems because there are often insufficient specifications or problems with the test oracle for AI-based systems.

DTour refers to intuitive test case design for AI-based systems based on multiple, sequential test cases using systematically biased training data.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The ISTQB CT-AI syllabus explains inSection 4.4 -- Experience-Based Testing for AI Systemsthat AI-based systems frequently suffer frominsufficient specifications, unpredictable model behavior, andtest oracle problems, especially when outputs depend on probabilistic or learned patterns. The syllabus explicitly states thatexploratory testingis especially valuable in such contexts because it allows testers to investigate the system interactively, observe unexpected behavior, and evaluate system responses that cannot be fully predicted beforehand. Thus, OptionCaccurately reflects the role and justification of exploratory testing for AI systems.

Option A describes data analysis rather than intuitive test design. Option B is incorrect because checklist-based testing does not dynamically adapt test cases; instead, it follows predetermined checklists. Option D incorrectly defines ''tour-based testing''; tours refer to structured exploratory approaches, not biased datasets.

Therefore,Option Cis the syllabus-aligned correct statement.

I think C is the best choice. Exploratory testing fits AI systems well.

C makes sense, especially with vague specs in AI.

B is misleading; metamorphic testing isn't about adapting existing cases.

D sounds a bit off to me; I thought tours were more about structured testing rather than biased data. I might lean towards C instead.

I feel like checklist-based testing was mentioned in relation to adapting test cases, so B could be a contender, but I'm not completely confident.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think A might be about how we analyze data for trends, which sounds familiar from our readings.

I remember discussing exploratory testing in our last session, and it seems like C makes sense since AI systems often lack clear specifications.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The description of exploratory testing in C matches what I've learned about testing AI-based systems, where the lack of clear specifications and challenges with the test oracle often lead to more exploratory approaches.

I've seen this type of question before, and I think the key is to focus on the characteristics of experience-based testing for AI systems. C seems to capture that the best, with the mention of insufficient specifications and problems with the test oracle.

Okay, let me try to break this down. A talks about intuitive test case design, B mentions checklist-based testing and metamorphic testing, C discusses exploratory testing, and D refers to tour testing. I think C sounds the most accurate, but I'm not 100% sure.
