Discuss ISTQB ISTQB-CTFL Exam Topic 6 Question 41

For the same financial institution in Question 12, with the same requirements and expectations, what would be the most likely investment values used in testing if two-point boundary value analysis is used to design test cases specific to the 13% interest rate equivalence partition?

AR100 000, R100 001, R500 000, R500 001.

BR99 999, R100 000, R499 999, R500 000.

CR100 000. R500 000.

DR99 000, R500 001.

Suggested Answer: A

For boundary value analysis, the test cases should include the boundary values just inside and just outside the equivalence partition for the 13% interest rate range:

R100,000 (just inside the previous range)

R100,001 (start of the 13% range)

R500,000 (end of the 13% range)

R500,001 (just outside the range)

These values ensure that both the edges of the partition are tested.

Not sure about D, feels like it misses some key points.

Shalon 11 months ago

C is too limited, we need more values for testing.

Brigette 11 months ago

Wait, are we really considering R99 999? Seems odd!

Rolland 11 months ago

I disagree, I feel like A is the right choice here.

Lino 11 months ago

Definitely think it's B. Those boundaries make sense!

Laurel 12 months ago

I think option B makes sense because it includes values just below and above the critical points. It aligns with what we learned about equivalence partitioning.

Carin 12 months ago

I thought we only needed the exact boundary values, so maybe option C is the answer? But I'm not confident about that.

Whitley 12 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like we practiced a similar question where we had to identify values just around the thresholds. Could it be option A?

Johnetta 1 year ago

I remember we discussed boundary value analysis in class, and I think it's about testing just below and above the limits. So, maybe option B could be right?

Laticia 1 year ago

I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll need to carefully read the question and the options to make sure I understand what they're asking.

Vallie 1 year ago

I'm confident I can solve this. The answer is B - R99,999, R100,000, R499,999, R500,000.

Whitney 1 year ago

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The key is to identify the boundary values for the 13% interest rate equivalence partition.

Kris 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the two-point boundary value analysis part. I'll need to review that concept again.

Almeta 1 year ago

This question seems pretty straightforward. I think I can handle this one.

Haha, this question is a real brain-teaser. It's like they're trying to trip us up with all these financial shenanigans. Time to put on my thinking cap!

Mila 2 years ago

D all the way, baby! Gotta keep 'em on their toes with some unexpected values. R99,000 and R500,001 are where it's at.

Salome 2 years ago

I'd go with B. Hitting the sweet spot right on the boundary seems like the safest bet for this kind of financial institution.

Leatha 2 years ago

C'mon, it's got to be A. Pushing the limits is where the real action is at! R100,001? Now that's what I call a test case.

User 3: Yeah, A seems like the best choice for this scenario.

User 2: Agreed, R100,001 is definitely a test case worth considering.

↳ replying to Leatha

User 1: I think A is the way to go. Pushing the limits is key.

Sunny 2 years ago

I agree with Gary, A seems to be the most comprehensive option.

Gary 2 years ago

But A covers the range of values specified in the question.

Myong 2 years ago

I disagree, I believe the answer is B.

Gary 2 years ago

I think the answer is A.

Orville 2 years ago

Hmm, I think the most likely values would be R99,999, R100,000, R499,999, and R500,000. Gotta hit those boundaries, you know?

Pearly 2 years ago

↳ replying to Orville

Let's go with option B) for the test cases then.

Ling 2 years ago

↳ replying to Orville

Yes, option B) seems like the most likely choice for two-point boundary value analysis.

Melita 2 years ago

↳ replying to Orville

I think option B) R99 999, R100 000, R499 999, R500 000 covers those values.

I agree, hitting those boundaries is crucial for testing.
