Actual exam question for ISTQB's ISTQB-CTFL exam

Question #: 22
Topic #: 1

Which of the following definitions is NOT true?

ATest data preparation tools fill databases, create files or data transmissions to set up test data to be used during the execution of tests.

BTest execution tools execute test objects using automated test scripts.

CTest Management tools monitor and report on how a system behaves during the testing activities.

DTest comparators determine differences between files, databases or test results.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Test Management tools are designed to support the planning, execution, and monitoring of the testing process. They provide features for managing test cases, test runs, tracking defects, and reporting on testing activities. However, the statement in option C describes Test Management tools as monitoring and reporting on the system's behavior during testing activities, which is not accurate. Test Management tools focus on the testing process itself rather than on the behavior of the system under test.

Test data preparation tools (A) indeed create and manage test data for use during test execution.

Test execution tools (B) automate the execution of test cases and the comparison of actual outcomes against expected results.

Test comparators (D) are tools that compare actual outcomes with expected outcomes, highlighting discrepancies.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it inaccurately describes the function of Test Management tools.

Wait, is option A really false? That's like the bread and butter of test data prep tools. I'm confused now.

Option A is actually true. Test data preparation tools do fill databases and create files.

D is the one that doesn't quite fit. Test comparators are all about finding those pesky differences, not just determining them.

I think option D is not true, test comparators are actually used to determine differences between files or databases.

Option C seems a bit off. Test management tools are used to track and report on the testing process, not the behavior of the system under test.

I think option A is the correct answer. Test data preparation tools are used to set up the necessary data for testing, not to fill databases or create files.
