Question 2 of 42

As a test analyst, you have been asked to conduct a role-based review of the usability of the electronic banking system’s user interface. The interface allows the user to choose a language from English, Spanish, or Italian. The system is secured with a multi-factor authentication mechanism. After logging in, the user can manage their loans.
During the review, you take the role described by the following persona:

Name: Maria Rossi -

Age: 64 -
Occupation: retired Italian language teacher
Knowledge of technology: basic; she is afraid of technology
Hardware: Windows laptop, Android phone

Place of residence: Rome, Italy -
Language skills: Italian (native), Spanish (basic)
What could MOST likely be reported by you during this review?

Correct answer: C

Question 3 of 42

You are designing test cases based on the following use case:
Use case: logging in to the online banking system
1. The user opens the banking application.
2. The system displays the login page.
3. The user enters their username and password.
4. The user clicks the “Login” button.
5. The system verifies the username and password in the database.
6. The system starts the multi-factor authentication (MFA) procedure.
7. The user undergoes MFA verification.
8. The system logs the user in and redirects them to the welcome screen.

Alternative flows -
3A - the user clicks the “Forgot Password” button. The system sends an e-mail with a link to reset the password and returns to step 2
5A - incorrect password. The system displays the message “Incorrect password”, and after closing the window with the message, it returns to step 3

Exceptions -
2A - system unavailable due to maintenance work. The system displays the message “Maintenance work in progress; try later” and the login process ends
7A - MFA verification error. The system displays the message “MFA verification failed" and the login process ends
The test strategy requires that coverage of the main scenario, alternative flows, and exceptions is achieved for each use case. The strategy allows testing multiple alternative flows within a single test case. Each exception must be tested with a separate test case, but a test case can contain alternative flows.
What is the MINIMUM number of test cases that will achieve this coverage?

Correct answer: B

Question 4 of 42

A system takes as input two natural numbers, T1 and T2, representing two consecutive temperature measurements. The temperature is measured in whole degrees Celsius. The system returns temperature change information according to the following logic:
• IF T1 = T2, return the message “Temperature has not changed.”
• IF T1 ≠ T2, return the message “Temperature has changed.”
You use domain-based testing to verify the correct implementation of the above requirement. You follow the SIMPLIFIED coverage technique.
Which set of test points, understood as temperature pairs (T1, T2), achieves 100% of this coverage?
Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

Question 5 of 42

Below is a state transition diagram that models the behavior of the component responsible for verifying the correctness of the PIN code entered by the user. The system begins operating in the “Welcome screen” state and ends in the “End” state.
Exam ctal-tav4-0: Image 1
The system is supposed to allow three attempts to enter the PIN. If the user enters the correct PIN during any of these attempts, the system makes a withdrawal and terminates the operation. If the third attempt is incorrect, the system blocks the card and terminates the operation. As a test analyst, you review this diagram for possible defects that could be introduced into the system that will be created based on this model.
What should be the conclusion of your analysis?

Correct answer: D

Stories from the certified

As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.

Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.

Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.

Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this one felt worth sharing. The questions were quite close to what actually appeared on the exam, more than I expected. I spent about a week going through the material before my test, and it helped me feel more prepared.
