Actual exam question for ISTQB's ISTQB-CTFL exam

Question #: 35
Topic #: 5

A financial institution is to implement a system that calculates the interest rates paid on investment accounts based on the sum invested.

You are responsible for testing the system and decide to use equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis to design test cases. The requirements describe the following expectations:

Investment range | Interest rate

R500 to RIO 000 10%

RIO 001 to R50 000 11%

R50 001 to RlOOOOO 12%

RIOOOOl to R500 000 | 13%

What is the minimum number of test cases required to cover all valid equivalence partitions for calculating the interest?

D16

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Using equivalence partitioning, the investment ranges are divided into four partitions:

R500 to R10,000 (10%)

R10,001 to R50,000 (11%)

R50,001 to R100,000 (12%)

R100,001 to R500,000 (13%)

Thus, the minimum number of test cases required to cover all valid equivalence partitions for calculating the interest is 4.

Hold up, what about the edge cases? We should also test the minimum and maximum values for each range to ensure the system handles them correctly. That's an additional 8 test cases. So the total should be 12.
