ISTQB Exam CTAL-TTA Topic 1 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CTAL-TTA exam
Question #: 5
Topic #: 1
[All CTAL-TTA Questions]

Consider the pseudo code provided below:

Given the following tests, what additional test(s) (if any) would be needed in order to achieve 100% statement coverage, with the minimum number of tests?

Test 1: A = 7, B = 7, Expected output: 7

Test 2: A = 7, B = 5, Expected output: 5

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

100% statement coverage means that every line of code is executed at least once during testing. Based on the provided pseudo-code and the test cases given:

Test 1 executes the MIN = B statement when A and B are equal.

Test 2 executes the MIN = A statement and skips the inner IF since B is not equal to 2*A.

All statements within the code have been executed by these two tests, hence no additional test cases are needed to achieve 100% statement coverage.

I think we should carefully analyze the test cases and choose the option that covers all scenarios. Option A seems like the better choice for achieving 100% statement coverage.

But option B does not cover all the cases mentioned in the question. We might need to consider option A instead.

I disagree. Option B seems simpler and also covers the cases. I think we should go with that.

I agree with Chanel. Option A covers both cases and can help achieve 100% statement coverage.

I think we should consider option A for additional test cases.
