ISTQB Foundation Level CTFL-AcT Syllabus Exam Questions Answers

Let’s analyze the DMN table shown in the image:

Rule 1: If weight ≤15, size ≤50, and distance ≤10 → use Normal bicycle

Rule 2: If weight is between 15 and 60 kg, size ≤150, and distance ≤25 → use Electric cargo bike

Rule 3: Otherwise → use Electric van

Now consider the options:

A: Incorrect — parcel size is not the only determining factor for using electric vans; it's about weight, size, and distance combined.

B: Incorrect — normal bicycles are used only when weight ≤15 kg, size ≤50 cm, and distance ≤10 km — so not just “short trips.”

C: Incorrect — electric cargo bikes are explicitly used for short trips (≤25 km), per Rule 2.

D: Correct — based on the rules, any weight above 15 kg (and up to 60 kg) results in the use of electric cargo bikes. So if weight >50 kg (but ≤60), cargo bike is still used under the conditions of Rule 2.

Therefore, the most consistent interpretation of the decision model is:

Answer: D. When the weight of the parcel exceeds 50kg then the electric cargo bike is necessarily used

This user story is about a logged-in user measuring their blood sugar using a connected glucose meter and seeing the result quickly. The acceptance criterion specifies that the result should be displayed in less than four seconds.

Option B is correct because:

It starts with a valid GIVEN precondition (“I am logged in”).

The WHEN step matches the functionality described in the user story (blood sugar measurement using a connected device).

The THEN step explicitly includes the performance expectation (“less than 4 seconds”), aligning directly with the acceptance criterion.

Other options:

A is incorrect — while it mentions the correct functionality, “I am diabetic” is not a necessary system precondition.

C refers to blood pressure instead of blood sugar — mismatched with the user story.

D introduces additional functionality (alerts for hypo-/hyperglycemia), which is not part of the specified acceptance criteria.

Answer: B. GIVEN I am logged in on the system … THEN I can see the result … in less than 4 second

Effective test reporting should be tailored to the audience’s role and needs. Project managers are typically concerned with high-level progress, schedules, risks, and milestones. Progress trend charts (e.g., test execution over time, defect trends) provide insights into how the project is advancing and help identify delays or bottlenecks.

Option B is correct as it fits the informational needs of a project manager.

Other options:

A: Defect reports are too detailed for steering groups, which prefer strategic summaries or risk reports.

C: Pie charts may provide high-level summaries, but development teams usually need detailed defect or test result data.

D: System users (e.g., customers) are not responsible for project risks and would not benefit from test risk rankings.

Answer: B. Progress trend charts for the project manager

Security requirements specify how a system should handle access control, data protection, confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. In acceptance testing, validating that users cannot access data or functions they are not authorized for is a critical test objective when dealing with security.

Option D is correct because it directly relates to access control — a fundamental aspect of security. Ensuring that “normal users shall have restricted access to private data” reflects both a security requirement and a condition that must be tested for compliance.

Other options:

A relates to performance (response time).

B refers to architecture or platform (web-based system).

C is about UI design and usability (style compliance).

Only D addresses security specifically.

Answer: D. Normal users shall have restricted access to private data.
