CTFL-AcT Exam Dumps : ISTQB Certified Tester - Acceptance Testing (CT-AcT)

The goal here is to achieve full decision coverage (also known as branch coverage), which means each decision point in the process must evaluate to both TRUE and FALSE at least once during testing.

From the BPMN ATM withdrawal model, we identify two key decisions:

Is the balance ≥ $100?

If yes, is receipt = YES?

To achieve full decision coverage:

One test must evaluate decision 1 as TRUE and another as FALSE.

If decision 1 is TRUE, then decision 2 must be exercised both ways (receipt = YES and NO), but for minimal decision coverage, one path through decision 2 is enough.

Analyzing test cases:

Test 1 (balance = $100, receipt = YES): decision 1 = TRUE, decision 2 = TRUE

Test 2 (balance = $99): decision 1 = FALSE

These two tests ensure:

Decision 1 evaluated TRUE (Test 1) and FALSE (Test 2)

Decision 2 evaluated at least once (receipt = YES in Test 1)

Thus, Test 1 and Test 2 form the minimal set for full decision coverage.

Other options:

C and D are redundant for the minimal set.

A includes an extra test not needed for minimal decision coverage.

Answer: B. Test 1, Test 2

Exploratory testing is an unscripted, experience-based testing technique where the tester learns about the system, designs tests, and executes them simultaneously. It is especially effective in Agile environments, where rapid feedback and creative exploration are valuable.

Option D is the least likely action because scripting automated test scripts is a structured activity that typically occurs after exploratory sessions or during more formal test phases. Exploratory testing emphasizes manual exploration, not automation scripting.

Other options:

A is part of the core purpose of exploratory testing — discovering the product.

B is relevant — defining a charter and discussing it with stakeholders (like the Product Owner) helps guide the exploratory session.

C is also relevant — results of exploratory tests should be documented and communicated.

Answer: D. Scripting of the automated test scripts

In situations where a team is demotivated or struggling with vision and direction, it's effective to use visualization workshops that help the team reflect on progress and visualize a path forward.

Option B describes a metaphorical workshop using a staircase to represent the project's journey — this is known as the "Stairway Retrospective" or "Timeline Workshop". It provides a shared mental model, identifies milestones, and encourages discussion around past progress and future steps. It's ideal for reigniting motivation and clarifying direction — which aligns with the issue described in the question.

Other options:

A can spark debate but may not be constructive or motivating in a stagnation scenario.

C may foster team bonding but doesn’t directly address project direction or vision.

D focuses only on future milestones and lacks the reflective component essential when a team feels stuck.
