ISTQB – Chapter 1 – Fundamentals of Testing – Practice Test
This is a set of questions so you can practice to help with your ISTQB exam. This is for chapter one only, will add more soon.
It covers Software Testing foundation – Fundamentals of testing
Software Testing Foundation – ISTQB-ISEB Topics
1. Fundamentals of Testing
Why is Testing Necessary?
Human -> Error (mistake) -> Defect (fault, bug) which when executed may cause -> Failure Measures the quality of the software Gives confidence in the quality Reduces the overall level of risk How much testing? Depends on risk, safety & project constraints
Testing Objectives
Finding Defects Providing information for decision-making Preventing defects Gaining confidence about the level of quality
Seven Testing Principles
Testing shows the presence of defects Exhaustive testing is impossible Early testing Defect clustering Pesticide paradox Testing is context-dependent Absence-of-error fallacy
Fundamental Test Process
Planning & Control Analysis & Design Implementation & Execution Evaluating Exit Criteria & Reporting Test Closure
The Psychology of Testing
The mindset of Developer & Tester Communication in a constructive manner Test Independence
Code of Ethics
Code is necessary, among other reasons, to ensure information accessed by testers are not put to inappropriate use.

a) Testing can show failures that are caused by defects b) Developers use debugging instead of testing c) Regression testing checks that the defect has been fixed d) Negative testing is not to be recommended
for the following question, your answer is A. I feel that B can be considered a correct answer too
I see your point and kind of agree with you. However, The focus here is on testing instead of dev, the answer is throwing just to trick the test.
Usually, on the questions in ISTQB, one answer is absurdly wrong, one is wrong but not so obvious and the last two potential answers are to mix your feelings and trick your answer.
I found that there are others that I challenge the answer in real life, but since this is so we can tick the box of passing the exam and gain the certification, I just make sure get the right answer and move on.
Answer: C Regression test, If the code is changed tester need to test the application are working fine a) Yes, testing shows the bug but we rectify before caused failures b) Instead mean alternative, Developer just debugged teh application
hello Category: Fundamentals of testing Which of the following statements are true?
i. A defect is produced as a result of system failure ii. Failures can be caused by environmental conditions such as radiation iii. Defects, bugs and faults are the same thing iv. Failures can cause bugs v. Faults always cause system failures
a) i, ii, v are true; iii and iv are false b) ii. iii. iv are true; i and v are false c) ii, iii, are true; i, iv, and v are false d) iv, v are true; i, ii and iii are false
your answer is : c) ii, iii, are true; i, iv, and v are false but answer should be : a since Defects, bugs and faults are NOT same thing
Yeah. I thought so too. and on that topic, there is a lot of debate with different opinions about that specifically. But with the context of the ISTQB certificate, for the version of this exam, this is true. Thanks for commenting.
A defect, bug or a fault is a mistake that a programmer makes while developing a product. These mistakes basically turn out to be faults or errors in the software and are generally known as defects.
