CTAL-TM Exam Dumps : Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Management (CTAL-TM) v3.0

Understanding the Defect Trend Gap:

A gap between "defects opened" and "defects closed" usually indicates defects that have been resolved (fixed) but are pending formal closure, often awaiting retesting or approval.

The trend convergence suggests the defect management process is effective, but some defects are still in the verification stage.

Evaluation of Options:

Ais incorrect: The gap does not indicate projected but unfound defects.

Cis incorrect: Regression defects would cause a divergence, not convergence, in trends.

Dis incorrect: Defects introduced to production are unrelated to the convergence.

Bis correct as it aligns with the standard defect lifecycle.

References and Syllabus Alignment:

This aligns with "Defect Management" in the ISTQB syllabus, emphasizing defect lifecycle tracking (TM-2.3.1)​​​.

Context Analysis:

The test strategy defines thContext Analysis:

Monitoring code coverage is inherently tied to knowledge of the internal structure of the software, a characteristic of white-box testing.

Evaluation of Options:

A. Black-box:

Incorrect. Black-box testing focuses on functionality without knowledge of internal structures.

B. White-box:

Correct. White-box testing uses internal code knowledge to determine areas that need more coverage.

C. Functional:

Incorrect. Functional testing assesses functionality without inspecting internal code.

D. Non-functional:

Incorrect. Non-functional testing focuses on performance, usability, etc., not code coverage.

Syllabus Alignment:

ISTQB associates code coverage monitoring with white-box testing techniques (TM-1.2.6).
