ISTQB CTAL-TM Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Context Analysis:

Developers want to close defects unilaterally, while testers are concerned about unresolved or misunderstood issues being overlooked.

Defect closure requires validation that the fix is implemented and verified to prevent recurrence of the issue.

Evaluation of Options:

A. Only testers should be allowed to close defect reports:

Incorrect. This creates a bottleneck and removes shared accountability for quality.

B. Only management should be allowed to close defect reports:

Incorrect. Management involvement adds unnecessary delays and complexity.

C. No one should close a defect report until the release is completed and the product is successfully deployed to production:

Incorrect. Defects should be closed as they are fixed and tested to ensure progress is tracked.

D. Closure should only occur when a defect is fixed and tested:

Correct. Ensures collaboration between developers and testers to verify the resolution.

Syllabus Alignment:

The ISTQB syllabus emphasizes clear defect management processes, including closure after verification (TM-2.3.4).

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).
