Actual exam question for ISTQB's CTAL-TTA exam
Question #: 36
Topic #: 3
[All CTAL-TTA Questions]

You are involved in testing a system in the medical domain. Testing needs to comply with the FDA requirements and is rated as being safety critical. A product risk assessment has been performed and various mitigation actions have been identified. Reliability testing is one of the test types that needs to be performed throughout the development lifecycle.

Based on the information provided, which of the following activities would need to be addressed in the test plan?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

In the context of safety-critical systems, particularly in the medical domain, reliability is of utmost importance. For such systems, it is crucial to ensure that the software can handle unexpected input values and continue to operate without failure. This is essential to ensure patient safety and compliance with FDA requirements. Vulnerability scans (option A) are more related to security testing, whereas scalability (option C) and installation/de-installation (option D) are important but not specifically related to the reliability and safety criticality of the system in the medical domain.

Haha, vulnerability scanning? In a medical system? I think the developers have enough to worry about without that. B is the clear winner here, folks.

I'm going with B too. Handling unexpected inputs is crucial for medical software. Anything less and patients could be at risk. Not a laughing matter, if you ask me.

C? Really? Scalability testing for a medical system? I think they need to focus more on the reliability and fault tolerance. B is the way to go, hands down.

I think option B would need to be addressed in the test plan because we need to evaluate the software's tolerance to faults.
