ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level – Test Manager (CTAL-TM) — Question 2

You are working as a test manager in the medical domain leading a team of system testers. You are currently working on a major release of the product which gives customers many new features and resolves a number of problem reports from previous releases.
You have been given responsibility for the non-functional testing of a safety-critical monitoring & diagnostics package in the medical area. Which of the following would you least expect to see addressed in the test plan? 1 credit

Answer options

• A. Availability
• B. Safety
• C. Portability
• D. Reliability

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Portability is generally less critical in safety-critical systems compared to availability, safety, and reliability, which are essential for ensuring the system performs correctly under various conditions. While portability may be a consideration, it does not directly impact the safety and effectiveness of medical monitoring and diagnostics systems like the other options do.
