ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level – Test Analyst (CTAL-TA) — Question 11

Which TWO of the following are MOST likely to be defects found as part of portability testing?
Insufficient, unclear installation or de-installation instructions.
Clumsy screen navigation and input screen labelling.
Inability to log on as an administrator.
Time out errors when entering incorrect login details.
The stock control barcodes cannot be read by the replaced barcode scanner.

Answer options

• A. a, d.
• B. c, e.
• C. b, d.
• D. a, e.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because 'Inability to log on as an administrator' and 'The stock control barcodes cannot be read by the replaced barcode scanner' both relate directly to issues that would affect the software's functionality across different environments. The other options either focus on usability or errors that do not pertain to portability concerns.
