ISTQB CTAL-TM Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Risk 1 is about environment availability, aproject risk, not a product risk — cannot be mitigated by test execution.

For Risk 2 (performance), conductperformance testing; for Risk 4 (security), dosecurity testingfirst due to severity.

For Risk 3, earlyusability reviewsand involving users with disabilities supports accessibility testing.

“Risk-based testing... involves the identification of product risks and the assessment of each risk’s likelihood and impact... Testing is used as a risk mitigation activity”.

“User experience (UX) feedback might not meet product expectations” is listed as a quality risk example.

Context Analysis:

The manager perceives conservative estimates as overly negative. The goal is to balance optimism with realism to satisfy both the team and the manager.

Three-point estimation provides a range of estimates: optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely, addressing the need for a positive yet realistic projection.

Evaluation of Options:

A. Wideband Delphi:

Involves group-based estimation using consensus techniques. While reliable, it does not explicitly offer optimistic vs. realistic estimates.

B. Planning Poker:

Often used in Agile projects, this technique involves relative estimation but does not inherently provide optimistic and pessimistic figures.

C. Three-point estimation:

Correct. Combines optimistic, pessimistic, and realistic estimates to calculate a weighted average. This allows presentation of both realistic and “positive” numbers to the manager.

D. Extrapolation:

Based on past data trends but does not offer a range of estimates or a way to address manager concerns directly.

Syllabus Alignment:The ISTQB syllabus mentions estimation methods like three-point estimation as effective techniques for providing balanced and transparent project timelines (TM-2.2.1).

Context Analysis:

The test objective should beSMART(Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)."Happier" is subjective and not measurable.

Evaluation of Options:

A. It is unlikely that just a version change will make users happier so this is not achievable:

Incorrect. Achievability isn’t the main issue; measurement is.

B. It cannot be measured because 'happier' is subjective:

Correct. The issue lies in the inability to quantify or measure the term "happier."

C. It does not define a timeframe:

Incorrect. While timeframe definition is important, the primary flaw here is subjectivity.

D. It is not aligned with the organization's objectives:

Incorrect. The test objective could align but still fail due to lack of measurability.

Syllabus Alignment:

ISTQB emphasizes creating measurable and actionable test objectives (TM-1.4.1).
