What is the characteristic of a unit test that makes it ''deterministic''?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Definition of 'Deterministic' in Unit Testing:

A deterministic test produces consistent results when executed under the same conditions.

Analyzing the Options:

A: Correctly describes deterministic behavior.

B: Refers to test coverage, not determinism.

C: Refers to atomicity, not determinism.

D: Speed is unrelated to determinism.


Aligned with ISTQB Agile Technical Tester syllabus emphasizing the need for tests to be consistent and predictable.

Fast tests are great, but they don’t guarantee determinism!

C makes sense, but I’m not sure it’s the main point here.

I think B is important too, but not for determinism.

I’m a bit confused, but I remember that speed isn’t really what makes a test deterministic, so I don’t think it’s D.

I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and I think it was about consistency, so A sounds right to me.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about testing specific functionality being important. Maybe it’s C?

I think a deterministic test means it gives the same result every time under the same conditions, so I’d go with A.
