ISTQB ATM Exam - Topic 2 Question 31 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's ATM exam

Question #: 31
Topic #: 2

[All ATM Questions]

You are working on a project to develop an authentication system for an e-commerce website. This system provides two features: Registration and authentication. Two different development teams develop these two features.

There is a high likelihood that the delivery of the authentication feature to the test team will be three weeks later. To complete the registration the user must provide the following registration inputs: Name, surname, birth date, fiscal code and he/she can select a username and a password. A registered user can be a special user or a normal user. To be identified as a special user, he/she must also provide, during the registration process, a voucher possibly received from the IT department.

Access is granted only if a user is registered and the password is correct: In all other cases access is denied. If the registered user is a special user and the password is wrong, a special warning is shown on the system console. You are currently performing a quality risk analysis using FMEA .

Based only on the given information, which of the following is NOT a product risk that could be identified during the quality risk analysis? K4 3 credits

AThe late delivery of the authentication feature to the test team causes delays in the start of test execution and this could result in a shorter test period

BThe authentication system denies access for a special user with a wrong password, but doesn't display a special warning on the system console

CThe authentication system grants access to a normal user with a wrong password

DThe authentication system grants access to a special user with a wrong password

I don't see how option A is a product risk, it's more of a project management issue.

Surprised that they wouldn't show a warning for special users with wrong passwords.

I'm leaning towards option D not being a product risk, since it seems more about user experience than the actual functionality of the system.

I feel like option C could also be a risk, but I can't recall if granting access to a normal user with a wrong password was covered in our practice questions.

I remember we discussed how delays in feature delivery can impact testing timelines, but I'm not sure if that's considered a product risk.

Okay, let me see here... The script is setting up an FTP server and then using that to download some files onto the target system. I'm guessing the expected result has to do with that.

This question is testing my knowledge of cloud-based testing methodologies. I'll need to recall the definitions of each type of testing and how they relate to the given criteria. Careful reading of the options will be key here.

I'm leaning towards the option of having it at factories and field warehouses, but I could be wrong. It feels like there's more flexibility there.

If the authentication system is as secure as a wet paper bag, I'll bet the IT department is already planning a 'special' welcome for the developer responsible. Yikes!

I bet the team that developed the authentication feature was doing a little too much 'authentication' of their own during their coffee breaks. Maybe that's why they're running late!

Granting access to a special user with a wrong password? Wow, that's like giving the keys to the kingdom to anyone who can spell their own name. Talk about a gaping hole in the security!

Denying access for a special user with a wrong password, but not displaying a special warning, is a clear product risk that should be addressed.
