ISTQB Foundation (CTFL v4.0) Mock Exam #12
The twelfth full-length CTFL v4.0 practice exam: 40 questions, 60 minutes, 65% to pass, weighted across all six chapters. Applied block: an 8-rule airline baggage-fee table read twice — once for an overweight bag, once for merging the standard-fee rules — plus a valid New-to-Closed path through a support-ticket state machine. Theory focus: the sub-areas of quality management and verification vs validation, which review type is the least formal, residual risk after testing stops, and test data management tools with CI execution timing. Every answer option carries a written rationale.
