ISTQB ATA Exam - Topic 5 Question 83 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's ATA exam
Question #: 83
Topic #: 5
[All ATA Questions]

Ken, an entrepreneur in Leeds finds the quality of the tea locally available so low, that he decides to research superior teas around the world. He decides to market, sell and distribute these superior teas via the web. His market strategy is to offer superior products on a well-designed website with graphics that are fast to load, has high availability, superior usability and fast response times.

The website will offer the following:

-An innovative interactive catalogue of teas, which not only enables customers to buy the product, but also enables them to provide feedback by rating the teas (which will influence his stock purchasing levels)

Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactions

Provide the customer to give general feedback

Ken selects an iterative model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers that are experienced in web development. Ken, although he doesn't have technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentation is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly.

The test basis contains the following:

-Story boards that show the information flow and page links through the site

-HTML pages developed to date.

-A statement of non-functional requirements.

With the strategy taking shape, Ken asks your advice on the specific testing techniques that should be used to complete the required testing, bearing in mind the nature of the application and the nature of Ken's overall objectives.

Which TWO of the following items may more frequently need to be explained in greater detail for non-functional defect reports than for a functional defect report?

This looks challenging, especially since Ken doesn't want a lot of documentation. I'll need to strike a balance between providing the necessary details for non-functional issues while keeping the reports concise and focused.

You're right, those two options make the most sense. For a functional defect, the steps to reproduce and the expected vs. actual results are usually enough. But for non-functional issues, the context around the system load and its actual behavior is essential.
