Topic #: 2

[All ISTQB-Foundation Level Exam Questions]

When should component integration tests be carried out?

AIntegration tests should always be done after system tests

BIntegration tests should be done at the customer's site, after acceptance tests

CIntegration tests can be done before or after system tests

DIntegration tests should always be done before system tests

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Component integration tests are designed to verify the interactions and interfaces between integrated components. These tests should be carried out after component testing (where individual components are tested in isolation) but before system testing (where the entire system is tested as a whole). This ensures that any issues arising from the integration of components are identified and resolved early in the testing process, making option D the correct answer.

Haha, I think the exam designers are trying to trick us with these options. They're all technically correct in some scenarios, but we need to choose the best one.

I'm with Vonda on this one. Option C seems the most flexible and practical approach. Integration tests can happen at different stages, as long as they're thorough.

Option D seems a bit too absolute, don't you think? I'm not sure integration tests should 'always' be done before system tests. It depends on the project, really.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards option C. It makes sense that integration tests can be done before or after system tests, depending on the project's needs and the development lifecycle.

Yes, I agree. Integration tests focus on how different components of the system work together, while system tests look at the overall functionality of the complete system.

I think this question is a tricky one. We need to really understand the difference between integration tests and system tests to answer it correctly.
