About Software Testing

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

The page is built around ISTQB Foundation preparation. Many quizzes follow the syllabus chapters, such as the sample questions on testing within the development life cycle, static techniques and test management. Others are larger practice banks, including the ISTQB Foundation Level practice exam and the Software QA set of 200 questions.

Beyond the exam material you will find resources on unit testing with Jasmine, mocks, Selenium, automated testing, behaviour driven development and test-driven development.

Where to start

Begin with the ISTQB Glossary Keywords flashcards. They list terms such as acceptance testing, alpha testing, beta testing and boundary value analysis, and the rest of the page uses them constantly. Then try ISTQB Foundation Software Testing A, which opens with a question on what a software failure looks like.

Learn the terms with the glossary flashcards.
Take a first quiz to see where you stand.
Work through the chapter sample questions in order.
Finish with a longer practice exam.

Using quizzes and maps together

Mind maps are good for seeing how ideas connect. Maps such as Testing Levels, Testing Strategies and Test-Driven Development give you the outline. After a quiz, open the map that matches the questions you missed and check how the topic fits together. Then return to the quiz and try again.

If you prefer short facts, the flashcards on black box and white box testing, experience based testing and maintenance testing cover single techniques in small pieces.

For teachers and for practice beyond the exam

Teachers can use the notes, flowcharts and slide sets as ready-made starting points for a lesson. Practical readers may like the notes on becoming a test automation engineer and the flashcards on python test doubles, mocks and fakes. A few resources suit school students too.

Where this fits

This unit sits in the Software and Systems Development strand of Computing and ICT. Pick a resource that matches your next step, then build your own maps and flashcards as you go.

Frequently asked questions

Which quiz should I start with?

Start with ISTQB Foundation Software Testing A. It opens with a question about the results of software failure and gives a feel for the exam style. After that, move on to the chapter sample questions, which follow the syllabus in order, before trying the longer practice banks.

What do the mind maps cover?

The maps cover testing levels, testing strategies, test-driven development, test techniques, unit tests, mocks, Selenium and testing tools. Some follow ISTQB chapters, such as static techniques and test design techniques. They work well as a quick outline before or after a quiz.

Which exams do these resources suit?

Most of the exam material points to ISTQB, including Foundation Level, CTFL and the Agile Tester extension. The resources are mainly at professional and university level, so they suit university students and professional candidates. Teachers can draw on them for ready-made classroom material.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Is there anything for learning the terminology?

Yes. The ISTQB Glossary Keywords flashcards list terms such as acceptance testing, beta testing and boundary value analysis. There is also an Agile Glossary of Terms deck for agile vocabulary, which helps if you are looking at the Agile Tester material.

What if I cannot find the topic I need?

Try the related resources on the page first, as topics such as mocks, Selenium and unit testing appear in several formats. If something is still missing, you can make your own quiz, map, flashcards or notes and fill the gap yourself.
