Outlines
📚 ISTQB Test Tools and Data Preparation
This paragraph introduces a tutorial on the ISTQB Foundation Level certification, focusing on Chapter 6 about test tools. The speaker discusses a sample question regarding the phase supported by a test data preparation tool. It emphasizes the importance of correlating back to the test process, specifically identifying the test data requirements in the test design phase and preparing the data in the test implementation phase. The correct answer to the sample question is that the test data preparation tool supports the test implementation phase.
🔍 Risks of Test Automation and Tool Usage
The second paragraph delves into the potential risks of performing test automation, highlighting the need to understand the benefits and risks associated with test tools. The speaker reviews four options, dismissing the first as it relates to production updates rather than test tools. The second option, insufficient allocation of efforts to maintain testware, is identified as a genuine risk due to the importance of asset management in test tool usage. The third option, over-reliance on testing tools, is clarified as a risk of too much dependence rather than sufficient reliance, which is necessary. The fourth option, reducing time for manual testing, is recognized as a benefit, not a risk. The correct risk identified is the insufficient allocation of resources for testware maintenance.

Hello friends and greetings for the day
welcome back to another tutorial on
istqb Foundation level certification we
are in chapter 6 talking about test
tools and today we shall be looking at
some of the sample questions from this
chapter and uh understand how exactly we
can answer the questions from
here so the very first question coming
in from this particular chapter is that
is which test activity does a test
preparation tool support I think uh it's
more of like which particular phase is
being supported by this particular tool
that is test data preparation tool and
all we are trying to understand here is
that sometime we may not need something
to be really remembered from a
particular chapter but however if you
remember things from the previous
chapter also you could very well answer
that so all we have to do is as we may
not be aware of where exactly this data
preparation tool is used used in which
particular phase all I have to correlate
back is to the test process which is our
chapter one and all that we have to do
is get into that particular phase where
the test data preparation happens so if
I have to quickly recall and help you
learn and understand about it the test
design phase is where we identify the
test data which is required for the
executions and test implementation phase
is the phase where you prepare the data
and that's what makes it very clear that
what should be the phase where test data
preparation tool will will be helpful to
the team in order to prepare the
required data sets and that's where if
you look at the options we have options
as test monitoring and control of course
monitoring and control is a phase where
we do consistent monitoring and taking
control actions throughout the life
cycle the second option here is the test
analysis and as we do understand
analysis is more about reviewing the
work products analyzing the test basis
but does not talk about data preparation
however if I come to option C which is
test implementation is absolutely the
phase where we do the test data
preparation and prior to that there's a
phase which is test design which
basically talks about identifying the
test data requirements and the option D
here is certainly test completion and by
then the project is completed all we do
is maintain the change request hand over
the instances environments Etc to
another team or even sit down and gather
the Lessons Learned together so in that
context put together our right answer
here should be
C that is test implementation is the
right answer where the test data
preparation tool would be helpful and
supportive moving on to the next
question and the next question is a
slightly tricky one let's have a look
here which item correctly identifies a
potential risk of Performing test
automation so indirectly all they're
trying to ask you is which one of the
following option is a risk of using test
tools or test automation tools in the
organizations all we have to do is
recall the benefit s and the risk
involved in it and then start looking at
the options because sometime the options
may not be very straightforward and they
would be twisting the words around to
just make you confuse a little bit so
that you can just not get the right
answer in first go so let's start
reading the options here the option A
says it may introduce unknown regression
in the production now unknown regression
in the production is not a risk related
to test tool it is more of like every
frequent update which you make every
kind of fixes which you do in the
production could introduce regression so
update upgrades are something which are
triggers for these particular
regressions being introduced into
production but not a test tool test tool
basically helps you minimizing your
manual efforts on test activities thus
this is not a risk which is introduced
by the tool so a is not a risk indeed
not a benefit as well thus it goes into
more of like it is something related to
updates and upgrades which introduces
regression so a is not a good candidate
when I look at option b sufficient
efforts to maintain testware may not be
properly allocated if you remember in
our risk discussion we told you that it
is equally important for the manager to
take care of cost time and effort in
order to manage introduce and take care
of the tools so that's where the asset
allocation or asset management or the
testware management is a crucial part of
the test tool management altogether if
in case you do not have proper resources
to do that or well defined guidelines
for it you will certainly have a risk
involved in using the test tool and
that's where this looks a little
appropriate option uh compared to a but
let's cross check with c and d as well
the option C here says testing tools and
Associated testware may not be
sufficiently relied upon now there is a
word here if you remember you can very
well correlate with one of the risk
which said uh not too much of Reliance
on the tool but too much and sufficient
is two different things right we gave
you an example of automated washing
machine but we do rely on automatic
washing machine up to washing but not
expecting over from the machine so over
Reliance is a risk but sufficient
Reliance is a need if I my tool doesn't
do what it is supposed to do that's
something which is supposed to be
discarded and I don't have to use that
tool at all but sufficient reliability
is always a must for the tool in order
to get started so yes this is not a risk
sufficient reliability is always
required otherwise I don't need a tool
at all okay if I cannot rely on it at
least sufficiently but over Reliance is
seen as a risk associated with that so
let's look at the option D here option D
says it may reduce the time allocated
for manual testing that's obviously seen
as a benefit of having a tool so given
that this is a tool benefit that is it
reduces the effort on the manual testing
I cannot call it as a risk so in that
context put together the right answer
here is
B sufficient efforts to maintain
testware may not be properly allocated
is seen as a risk to using a test tool I
think that pretty much clarifies all of
us that what could be the type of
questions we may be getting so that one
way completes this entire series entire
playlist of istqb foundation and covers
all the chapters with the sample
questions however we'll have one more
short tutorial after this which would
talk about a summarization of this
entire series the final touches the
closing notes and the breakup of all the
questions and what we need to
concentrate on so stay tuned for that so
that's all from this particular tutorial
team should you have anything else feel
free to comment below I'm always there
to address your queries and answer them
well till then keep learning keep
exploring keep understanding the context
thanks for watching the video team and
happy learning
