CTAL-TA_Syll2019 Exam Dumps : ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Analyst (Syllabus 2019)

In a keyword-driven test automation approach, the Test Analyst is responsible for defining the keywords that represent the actions and expected outcomes of the test cases. The keywords are then implemented by a developer or a tool as reusable functions or scripts that can be executed by the test automation framework. For example, the Test Analyst can define keywords such as “transfer”, “check balance”, “verify balance”, etc. for the account transfer user story. These keywords can then be used to design test cases in a data-driven or table-driven format, such as:

Exhibit B is the only state transition diagram that matches the text description of Acme’s elevator door rules. It shows that the doors can transition between four states: Opened, Closing, Closed, and Opening. The transitions are triggered by either commands (open or close) or sensors (opened or closed). The diagram also shows that the open command can reverse the closing state, and the close command can reverse the opening state, as specified in the text. The other exhibits do not show the correct transitions or conditions for the elevator door system. References =

This is an effective method to employ business users in your testing effort because it allows them to leverage their domain knowledge and experience without requiring them to have technical skills or testing tools. Test charters are high-level descriptions of the test objectives, scope, and approach that guide the testers to explore the system and report any issues they find. Test charters are flexible and can be adapted to different test levels and types. They are also suitable for the V-model development lifecycle, which emphasizes verification and validation at each stage of the development process1
