[All ISTQB-CTFL Questions]

Your manager asked you when testing will be complete. In order to answer this question, you'll most likely use:

ATest progress reports

BYour colleagues advice

CA conversion spreadsheet

DA Test Oracle

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

When a manager asks when testing will be complete, the most appropriate and informative resource to provide an answer is test progress reports (Option A). Test progress reports contain detailed information on the status of testing activities, including what has been accomplished, what remains to be done, the results of the tests conducted, and any issues or risks that might impact the completion of testing. These reports allow for an informed assessment of the testing progress and estimation of when testing might be completed. Options B, C, and D do not provide the structured, detailed, and specific information required to accurately answer the manager's question about the completion of testing.

I vaguely remember something about a Test Oracle, but I don't think that's what we would use to determine when testing is done.

A conversion spreadsheet sounds familiar, but I can't recall how it would directly answer the question about testing completion.

I'm a little confused by this question. I'm not sure what a "Test Oracle" is in this context. I think I'll go with A for now, but I may need to ask the instructor for some clarification on the options.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'd have to think through the different options more carefully. A conversion spreadsheet or a Test Oracle could also potentially provide information on testing progress, so I'm not totally confident in my answer.

I think the answer is B - pkg list *apache*. That should show all the apache-related packages that are installed.
