BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Technical Test Analyst 2019 - TTA-19 Exam Practice Test
Which of the following is a typical defect that boundary value analysis would identify?
Correct Answer: B
Scenario "Tax system"
The tax system needs to be updated due to new legislation. For a person with a salary of less than e20.000 and who is married, the tax needs to be re-calculated. If the person also has more than two and less than five children, an additional 10% reduction is applicable.
The functionality of the newly released tax system is now at the right level. However, there are frequent complaints about non-functional issues.
In particular:
i. the new system does not run on PC's with VISTA installed
ii. it is difficult to update the system quickly when new legislation must be implemented iii. especially when many users are using the web site, the system seems to be slow iv. some users enthusiastically use the system but are not able to complete some of the transactions.
Which TWO types of risks are related to complaint (i) and (ii)?

Scenario "Banking Project"
As a test analyst in the banking domain you have received the following requirement:
"The system shall allow cash advances of at least 200 Euros for all supported credit cards, The correct list of credit cards is American Express, Diners, VISA, Mastercard and Eurocard. For the ATM banking project introduced earlier; "When the user first inserts a valid credit card type, the system considers the user to be in an unauthenticated state. When requesting a cash advance, the user must be in an authenticated state. The user authenticates by entering the proper PIN code. When authenticating the user, the system shall allow the user to enter their PlN code up to three times before failing the authentication and rejecting the card. On the first and second try, the system shall prompt the user to re- enter the PIN code." Suppose you are concerned that, depending on the exact number of invalid PIN codes entered, the system might behave improperly.
Which of the following test design techniques is specifically targeted at such failures?
