CTAL-TTA Exam Dumps : Certified Tester Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst

An ISTQB defined technique for identifying risks when defining a risk-based approach to testing the performance efficiency of a new application is to analyze the requirements to look for areas where performance efficiency requirements have not been well-defined. This technique ensures that testing efforts are focused on areas of the application that are critical for performance but may have insufficient coverage in terms of detailed requirements​​.

When users complain about issues with links on a website, the most appropriate test tool to identify the causes of these failures is a hyperlink tool (answer B). Hyperlink tools are specifically designed to check the validity of links on web pages. They can automatically identify broken or dead links, which is essential for maintaining the quality and user experience of a website. Review tools, static analysis tools, and dynamic analysis tools do not primarily focus on hyperlink verification.

Statements about Maintainability Testing:

A. It should start as soon as the draft design documents are available for review.

True. Maintainability testing can begin early in the development lifecycle, starting with reviews of design documents to ensure that maintainability concerns are addressed from the outset.

B. An application can be considered maintainable when static analysis and code review defects have been fixed.

False. While fixing defects identified by static analysis and code reviews improves maintainability, other factors such as documentation, ease of making changes, and regression testing must also be considered.

C. It tests the regression impact of software or environmental changes to an operational system.

False. This describes regression testing more than maintainability testing, which focuses on the ease of modifying the system and maintaining its performance.

D. It can be performed during Operational Acceptance Testing by multiple departments.

True. Maintainability testing can be part of operational acceptance testing (OAT), where different departments ensure that the system can be maintained and operated effectively.

E. It can be performed during User Acceptance Testing to ensure business processes can be maintained.

False. User acceptance testing (UAT) focuses on verifying that the system meets business requirements and user needs, not specifically on maintainability.

Correct Answer:

B. a and d
