iSQI CTAL-ATT Exam - Topic 9 Question 9 Discussion

Actual exam question for iSQI's CTAL-ATT exam

Question #: 9
Topic #: 9

Your organization has been making animal food dispensers for free-range chickens and has been using a combination of test automation exploratory testing and some black-box testing on all products. The company has been using the following approach to the testing of the high-risk items:

Exploratory testing = 85%

Black-box testing = 15%

Test automation = coverage goal is 25% but time is only allocated to automation if no other testing is needed, so the coverage is currently about 5% and the automation suite is run only infrequently.

The company has decided to modify their product and use it for pill dispensing for pharmacies Regardless of the mechanical challenges of this modification you now have to determine how testing should be adjusted for this safety critical application Which of the following would follow the guidelines in the syllabus for the testing approach for the high-risk items?

AExploratory testing = 85%
Black-box testing = 15%
Test automation = 25% coverage executed infrequently

BExploratory testing = 15%
Black box testing = 85%
Test automation = 25%, executed for every code release

CExploratory testing = 50% Black box testing = 50%
Test automation = 50% coverage executed before every production release

DExploratory testing = 25% Black-box testing = 75%
Test automation = 75% coverage executed for every code release

I think D is overkill on automation, we need to focus on real-world testing.

Wait, 85% black-box testing? That seems a bit extreme for a pill dispenser.

Seems like black-box testing should be prioritized for safety-critical apps.

I recall that we should prioritize thorough testing for high-risk items, so maybe option D with 75% black-box testing makes sense, but it feels like a big shift from what we practiced.

I’m a bit confused about the automation part. Shouldn't we aim for more frequent execution if it's a safety-critical product?

I think we practiced a question where we had to balance exploratory and black-box testing. It feels like we should lean more towards black-box for this pill dispenser.

I remember we discussed the importance of increasing black-box testing for safety-critical applications, but I'm not sure if 85% is too high.

A standard greeting sounds like a good way to demonstrate the new management's control and enhance the group's reputation. I'll go with that.

I feel like MACsec could be a good fit here. It operates at Layer 2, which might help with performance, but I can't quite recall if it guarantees line-rate in all scenarios.
