Question 33

Question

Which of the following is not decided in the test-planning phase..?

Accepted Answer

Types of test cases

Quinn X. · Answer

Option D If the question said “covered in test design” instead of “test-planning phase”, would that change which option fits best?

Ryan T. · Answer

D vs C here. D is correct though because test case types are set during the design phase, not planning. C (entry/exit criteria) is actually part of planning, which can trip people up. Unless anyone thinks otherwise?

Nina · Answer

Maybe D, since defining the types of test cases is more of a test design activity. Had something like this in a mock-the planning phase is for bigger things like entry/exit criteria and schedules, not detailed test case stuff. Pretty sure that's what ISTQB expects but open to other thoughts if anyone's read differently.

Riley B. · Answer

Probably D fits here. The types of test cases are detailed when you get into test design, not during planning. Planning sets up things like schedules (A), needed hardware/software (B), and criteria for starting/stopping testing (C). I think C could be tempting but it’s still covered in planning according to the syllabus. Disagree?
