More bugs in the ISTQB certification exam

In the last post I wrote about 2 bugs found in the ISTQB certification exam. Well, turns out there was another one, or actually 2:
  1. In the ITCB site (Israeli Testing Certification Board), it said that results will be emailed after 2 weeks. The instructor that supervised the exam told us it would take 3 weeks. This sort of bug is called an inconsistency bug. The main effect on inconsistency bugs is user confusion and loss of trust.
  2. The results were promised 3 weeks after the test. This date is behind us now. This is a bug, since a bug can be defined as a gap between user expectations to actual behavior.

So, at this point I am a bit dissapointed of not getting a score for a 40 question multiple selection exam in 3 weeks. The surprise for me is that I am actually waiting to get the score - not so cool :-P
