iSQI Exam CTAL-TA_Syll2019 Topic 5 Question 50 Discussion

Actual exam question for iSQI's CTAL-TA_Syll2019 exam
Question #: 50
Topic #: 5
[All CTAL-TA_Syll2019 Questions]

In the initial release of an insurance risk assignment application, a variety of test techniques were employed, especially equivalence partitioning.

After a thorough root cause analysis of this release, it was determined that the developers tended to incorrectly use ">" and "<" rather than the ">=" and " <= " in the code at several decision points.

This caused several borderline cases to be handled incorrectly.

Based on this analysis, how would you modify your test strategy for the next version's release?

Suggested Answer: B

Boundary value analysis is a technique that focuses on testing the values at the boundaries of valid and invalid partitions. It is suitable for testing the errors caused by incorrect use of relational operators in the code, such as ''>'' and ''<'' instead of ''>='' and ''<=''. By creating test cases using boundary value analysis, the tester can verify that the system handles the borderline cases correctly and does not miss any edge cases.

I think we should also consider option C, creating a state transition diagram can help ensure all transitions are properly tested.

Decision tables, eh? Sounds like a good way to make sure we're covering all the bases. Gotta love a good old-fashioned spreadsheet, am I right?

I agree with Jean, option B seems like the best approach to avoid similar issues in the next release.

Ooh, a state transition diagram sounds like a fun way to really dig into this thing. Get those transitions all nice and tidy, you know?

Hah, I bet the developers were just too lazy to type those extra characters. 'Less is more' is not always the best approach, am I right?

Boundary value analysis is definitely the way to go here. Gotta make sure those edge cases are covered, am I right?
