ISTQB Foundation (CTFL v4.0) Mock Exam #9

The ninth full-length CTFL v4.0 practice exam: 40 questions, 60 minutes, 65% to pass, weighted across all six chapters. Applied block: a 7-rule loyalty discount and free-shipping table read twice — once for the rule outcomes, once for the don't-care simplification — plus a vending-machine state machine covering coin insertion, dispensing and refunds. Theory focus: DevOps and continuous integration benefits, decision-condition coverage on compound predicates, product vs project risk scoring, and the Definition of Done against test strategy scope. Every answer option carries a written rationale.
