[All CTAL-TA_Syll2019 Questions]

Which of the following appropriate tasks for the Test Analyst is performed during the test analysis phase?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is B. The acceptance criteria are not testable.

The acceptance criteria are not testable

The acceptance criteria are not testable because they are vague and subjective. They do not specify any measurable or observable outcomes or conditions that can be verified by the test analyst. For example, what does ''as fast as possible'' or ''easily'' mean in terms of performance and usability? How can the test analyst determine if the user does not leave during the transaction or if they log in easily? The acceptance criteria should be rewritten to include clear and quantifiable criteria, such as response time, error rate, user satisfaction, etc1.

Hmm, I'm gonna have to go with the classic 'D) The acceptance criteria are not prioritized'. How do we know which one is more important? Seems like a classic case of 'all the bells and whistles' syndrome.

I think the acceptance criteria should be prioritized to ensure the most important aspects are tested first.

I'm going with B as well. 'Fast as possible' and 'easily' are way too vague. This feels more like a user goal than a testable acceptance criterion.

I believe the story is not independent from other stories, which could cause issues with implementation.

Definitely B. These acceptance criteria are not concrete enough to test against. Needs more specific requirements like 'display balance within 3 seconds of login' or 'login in less than 10 seconds'.

I agree with Nelida, if we can't test the criteria, how can we ensure the feature works as intended?

I'd say the major problem is that the acceptance criteria are not testable. How do you measure 'as fast as possible'? And 'easily' is pretty subjective.

AC 1 and AC 2 seem to be contradictory. How can the balance be displayed quickly if the user has to log in first? Seems like a classic case of 'move fast and break things'.
