[All ISTQB-CTFL Questions]

Which of the following statements about checklist-based testing is TRUE?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Checklist-based testing is a technique where testers use pre-determined checklists to ensure that important aspects of a work product are evaluated. Over time, these checklists should be reviewed and updated periodically to maintain their effectiveness in detecting defects. As systems evolve, outdated checklists may miss new types of defects, thus diminishing their usefulness. Therefore, statement D is true according to the ISTQB CTFL syllabus.
