ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level v4.0 — Question 33

Given the following requirement:
The system shall compute the car’s position using the following equation: new_distance_traveled + old_position
Which type of testing should be implemented to help ensure this requirement is met?

Answer options

• A. Functional
• B. Reliability
• C. Performance
• D. Maintainability

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Functional testing is designed to verify that the system behaves as expected according to specified requirements, such as calculating the car’s position correctly. Reliability, performance, and maintainability testing focus on different aspects of the system and do not specifically check whether the computation aligns with the given equation.
