CTFL-2018 Exam - Question 7


Which of the following would achieve the HIGHEST level of testing independence for a project's system test level?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

Outsourcing test design and execution to a different company achieves the highest level of testing independence for a project's system test level. This approach ensures that the tests are designed and executed by a completely separate entity, which minimizes any potential bias that could arise from internal pressures or developer influence. This level of separation is greater than what can be achieved by internal teams, even if they are independent within the company.

B. Outsourcing test design and execution to a different company. This provides a completely separate entity that isn't influenced by internal development biases or pressures. This achieves a high level of independence.

Answer A) is recorded as correct here, contradicting the syllabus - still, Answer B) is the most logical (without having read this or anything - the question is about "the HIGHEST level of independence" - that is of course when the system is tested by people who are otherwise not involved with the development.

Would B be the correct answer to this question? Thet way the question is being asked is just so confusing. And it doesnt specify anywhere in the syllabus if for different test levels what the highest level of indendence would be. It only specifies in general what are from low to high the independence ....

Hey, The corret answer is C. I dont know why most people are saying b Please see the following text from the official exam guide "System testing is typically carried out by independent testers who rely heavily on specifications. Defects in specifications (e.g., missing user stories, incorrectly stated business requirements, etc.) can lead to a lack of understanding of, or disagreements about, expected system behavior. Such situations can cause false positives and false negatives, which waste time and reduce defect detection effectiveness, respectively. Early involvement of testers in user story refinement or static testing activities, such as reviews, helps to reduce the incidence of such situations. "
