ISQI Certified Tester Foundation Level — Question 40

It is recommended to perform exhaustive tests for covering all combinations of inputs and preconditions.

Answer options

• A. Yes, it’s strongly recommended.
• B. No, risk analysis and priorities should be used to focus testing efforts
• C. Yes, and it’s also necessary to include all the exit combinations
• D. Only the expert testers can make exhaustive tests.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because exhaustive testing is often impractical due to time and resource constraints, so prioritizing based on risk and importance is more effective. Option A suggests that exhaustive testing is always the best approach, which is not realistic. Option C implies that exit combinations are also necessary, but it still does not address the practicality of exhaustive tests. Option D incorrectly limits the ability to perform exhaustive tests to only expert testers.
