ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL 2018) — Question 3

Which of the following BEST describes a Test Case?

Answer options

• A. A statement about ג€what to testג€ in terms of measurable coverage criteria from analysis of the test basis.
• B. A set of preconditions, inputs, actions, expected results and postconditions developed based on test conditions.
• C. A description of the test objectives to be achieved and the means and the schedule for achieving them.
• D. A source to determine expected results to compare with the actual result of the system under test.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a Test Case consists of specific preconditions, inputs, actions, expected results, and postconditions derived from test conditions. Options A, C, and D describe different aspects of testing but do not encapsulate the comprehensive nature of a Test Case as effectively as option B does.
