When verifying that an autonomous AI-based system is acting appropriately, which of the following are MOST important to include?
The syllabus highlights that testing for unnecessary human intervention is a key focus for autonomous AI-based systems:
'For autonomous AI-based systems, testers must ensure that the system does not prompt for unnecessary human intervention, as this contradicts the autonomy concept.'
(Reference: ISTQB CT-AI Syllabus v1.0, Section 8.2, page 59 of 99)
Which machine learning approach is most suitable for predicting customer purchase probability?
Choose ONE option (1 out of 4)
The ISTQB CT-AI syllabus explains in Section1.6 -- Machine Learning Approachesthatsupervised learningis appropriate when labeled data exists and the goal is to predict an output based on known historical examples. Predicting a customer'spurchase probabilityis aclassificationtask when the output corresponds to discrete categories such as''likely to purchase''vs.''not likely to purchase.''The syllabus gives similar examples in describing classification as the process of assigning instances to predefined classes based on learned patterns in labeled data. Because the retail company wants to determine whether a customer will make a purchase based on marketing actions, classification is the most appropriate choice .
Option A (regression) predicts continuous numeric values and is less suitable because the task centers oncategorical likelihood, not estimating exact monetary values. Option C (unsupervised learning) is used when labels are not available---here, the company has labeled purchase histories. Option D (reinforcement learning) requires an interactive environment with reward-driven behavior, which is not applicable to this scenario.
Thus,supervised learning (classification)is the most suitable approach according to the syllabus.
Which statement regarding testing transparency, explainability, or interpretability is MOST correct?
Choose ONE option (1 out of 4)
The ISTQB CT-AI syllabus states in Section2.10 -- Explainability, Transparency, and Interpretabilitythat interpretability isuser-dependent, meaning different users understand explanations differently. This is because interpretability depends not only on the ML algorithm but also on the user's domain knowledge, experience, and expectations. OptionBdirectly reflects this syllabus principle: interpretability testing must consideruser background, and explanations must be comprehensible to the intended user group.
Option A is incorrect because explainability testing requires substantial information about the model, data, and expected behavior---not just exploratory effort. Option C is incorrect because explainability isnotgenerally quantifiable through dynamic testing alone, and the syllabus does not assert model-type specificity in this way. Option D exaggerates LIME's capabilities. LIME offers approximate local explanations, but cannotpreciselystate root causes; the syllabus emphasizes itslimitationsand that explanations areapproximations, not exact reasons.
Therefore,Option Bis the most syllabus-aligned and correct statement.
Which assignment of AI techniques to testing support is BEST?
Choose ONE option (1 out of 4)
The ISTQB CT-AI syllabus (Section5.2 -- AI for Testing) explains that various AI approaches can support testing activities. Probabilistic methods---one of the three major AI technique groups---are used topredict system failures, especially when dealing with uncertainty, likelihood estimation, and reliability analysis. This aligns precisely with OptionB.
Option A is incorrect because regression test optimization is typically performed usingsearch-based optimization, not classification. Option C is incorrect because fuzzy logic is more suited to reasoning under vagueness, not generating test cases. Option D is incorrect: defect prediction relies on statistical learning or classification models, not computational optimization.
Thus,Option Bis the most syllabus-consistent mapping of AI techniques to testing tasks.
Which statement about testing levels for AI-based systems is correct?
Choose ONE option (1 out of 4)
Section4.3 -- Test Levels for AI Systemsclearly defines ML model testing as the level at which testers evaluate whether an ML model fulfills itsfunctional performance criteria, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1, robustness, stability, and fairness. Therefore, Option C is the correct and syllabus-aligned statement.
Option A is incorrect because input data testing focuses onvalidity and correctness of data entering the model, not interactions with all system components. Option B is incorrect: acceptance testing in the syllabus focuses primarily onbusiness and stakeholder requirements, not specifically explainability. Explainability testing may occur at multiple levels depending on context. Option D is also incorrect because API testing belongs tointegration testing, not system testing, even when AI is consumed as a service.
Thus,Option Cis the only statement that precisely matches syllabus definitions.
