Exam ISTQB-CTFL Topic 1 Question 309 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's ISTQB-CTFL exam
Question #: 309
Topic #: 1
Which of the following coverage criteria results in the highest coverage for state transition based test cases?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

Covering all transitions at least once is the highest coverage criterion for state transition based test cases, because it ensures that every possible change of state is tested at least once. This means that all the events that trigger the transitions, as well as the actions and outputs that result from the transitions, are verified. Covering all transitions at least once also implies covering all states at least once, but not vice versa. Therefore, option D is not the highest coverage criterion. Option C is the lowest coverage criterion, because it only tests the initial and final states of the system or component, without checking the intermediate states or transitions.
Option A is incorrect, because the coverage criteria for state transition based test cases can be determined and compared based on the number of transitions and states covered. References = CTFL 4.0 Syllabus, Section
