ISTQB Usability Testing Certification Questions 6–10 (page: 3)

Updated On: 10-Feb-2026

You're defining usability test tasks for a web shop for mobile phones and smartphones. Finding out whether users are able to place an order easily has been identified as the main goal of the usability test.
Which of the following is a reasonable task definition to include in the test?

  1. ut the first phone you find in your shopping cart!
  2. Your phone broke and you're looking for a new smartphone. Your budget is 200$ and it should have an infrared sensor as you like to operate your home entertainment system with it. Find a suited smartphone and order it!
  3. Enter the item number "1469483" in the search box and click "OK". Put the first item in the cart by clicking "add to bag". Then, click on "checkout" in order to start the order process. After that, fill in the form and click on "submit".
  4. Which mobile operating system do you prefer?

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A well-defined usability task uses a realistic scenario and goal ("find a suited smartphone within your $200 budget with infrared sensor and order it"), without prescribing exact clicks. This lets you observe how users naturally navigate, search, and complete the order process - directly measuring the main goal of placing an order.

What is a usability test task?

  1. A document specifying a sequence of actions for the execution of a usability test. It is used by the moderator to keep track of briefing and pre-session interview questions, usability test tasks, and post-session interview questions
  2. A usability test execution activity specified by the moderator that needs to be accomplished by a usability test participant within a given period of time
  3. A process through which information about the usability of a system is gathered in order to improve the system (known as formative evaluation) or to assess the merit or worth of a system (known as summative evaluation)
  4. A test session in usability testing in which a usability test participant is executing tests, moderated by a moderator and observed by a number of observers

Answer(s): B

A usability test task is the specific action or goal you ask a participant to perform during the session - defined by the moderator, time-bounded, and designed to reveal how easily users accomplish realistic objectives with the product.



You are asked to evaluate the usability of a software application for a law firm. Due to time and budget constraints, it is not possible to include users in the evaluation process.
Which of the following is a valid approach for evaluating the usability in this case?

  1. Usability Review
  2. User surveys
  3. Usability testing
  4. Accessibility Evaluation

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

When direct user involvement isn't feasible, an expert-based usability review (such as a heuristic evaluation or cognitive walkthrough) allows evaluators to systematically identify usability issues by applying established guidelines and their domain expertise.



Which of the following statements best describe Rapid Iterative Testing and Evaluation?

  1. Testing happens on a regular basis, e.g. each Monday
  2. Testing is informal and many potential users can be accessed
  3. Testing focuses on instant redesigns and confirming made changes
  4. Testing is quantitative
