I just read a question related to ISTQB (Foundation Level) from a paper which is available in market :

Q - What type of testing will you perform on internet banking solution?

Options :

A. System integration

B. Functional testing

C. Non-functional testing.

D. Requirements testing

And according to them answer is C. Non-functional testing.

I agree with the answer , but on the other hand, I am confused that do we not require all other testing for the same application? Please help me to clear this doubt.

  • If that is the whole question then I am also confused. Perhaps there is a lot more context given for the question and that needs to be read (or added into this Stackexchange question).

  • Why do you agree with the 'answer'? Multi choice answers are terrible as they never have an 'it depends' option.

  • @PhilKirkham - I agree means non-functional testing require but also need option like 'It depends' Or 'all of above'

    That is a terrible exam question. The wording implies that you should only do one type of testing, which is ridiculous.

Googling this question gives multiple sites where there are some example questions or mock tests for preparing for ISTQB foundation level certification.

They illustrate well one of the problems in this kind of certification. None of the sites I found explained why this would be the correct answer (or asked for the applicant to explain it, for that matter).

I agree with your opinion that none of the given options is correct in itself, without any further context.

Non-functional testing covers below listed testing --

Baseline testing

Compliance testing

Documentation testing

Endurance testing

Load testing

Localization testing and Internationalization testing

Performance testing

Recovery testing

Resilience testing

Security testing

Question asked for testing of internet banking solution. As per my understanding, highlighted testing like security, performance, recovery, compliance etc are must to do for internet banking app because while accessing banking app on mobile/desktop first point come in mind is security, easy to access(usability), performance of the site.
