Laut den ISTQB®-Richtlinien für lehrplanbasierte Schulungen muss für jedes Lernziel der Stufe K3 eine Übung angeboten werden. Auch muss für jedes Ziel auf der Ebene K2 oder K3 ein praktisches Beispiel angeboten werden. Um diese Anforderungen zu erfüllen, haben die Autoren zahlreiche Übungen und Beispiele für alle Lernziele auf diesen Stufen vorbereitet. Darüber hinaus werden für jedes Lernziel Beispielprüfungsfragen, die denen ähneln, die Kandidaten der Prüfung sehen werden, geboten. Dies macht das Buch zu einem hervorragenden Hilfsmittel für das Studium und für die optimale Vorbereitung auf die Prüfung.
