Consider a TAS that is going to bedeployed for the first time. The TAS requires share resources and run it its own test environment. The infrastructure for the TAS has been created along with maintenance procedures. It is very unlikely the TAS will be required to work in other target

Environments. There is a high-risk that when the TAS is deployed in its own test environment, a number of existing application will no longer work because of conflicts with the existing shared resources.

Which of the following activities would you expect tobe MOST effective at mitigating the risk associated with the first deployment of the TAS?

A.

Testing the TAS for application compatibility issues in the target environment

B.

Testing the TAS for its ability to be implemented in other target test environments.

C.

Testing the TAS for regressions due to optimization that fix non-functional issues.

D.

Testing the TAS for ITS ability to run a shared test environment

A web application was released into production one year ago, it has regular release which follow a V-model lifecycle and testing is well-established and fully integration into the development lifecycle. You have been asked to implement a TAS for the regression test suite. The regression tests have been developed via the GUI and are expected to be run at least four times a month, for each planned release, for the whole operation solution life of the system (six years). Each screen of the GUI uses several third-party controls which are not compatible with the existing automation solutions. The environment for the automation will be stable, fully controllable and separated from other environments (development, staging, production).

What could be the MOST problematic for this TAS?

A.

Maturity of the test process

B.

Complexity to automate

C.

Frequency of use

D.

Sustainability of the automated environment

Which of the following BEST describes why it is important to separate test definition from test execution in a TAA?

A.

It allows developing steps of the test process without being closely tied to the SUT interface.

B.

It allow choosing different paradigms (e.g event-driven) for the interaction TAS and SUT

C.

It allows specify test cases without being closely tied to the tool to run them against the SUT

D.

It allows testers to findmore defects on the SUT

You are executing the first test run of a test automation suite of 200 tests. All the relevant information related to the state of the SUT and to the automated test execution is stored in a small database. During the Automated test run you observe that the first 10 test pass, while an abnormal termination occurs when executing the 11thtest. This test does not complete its execution and the overall execution of the suite is aborted. An immediate analysis of the abnormal termination is expected to be time consuming and you have been asked to produce a detailed report of the execution results for the first test run, as soon as possible.

What is the MOST important FIRST step to be taken immediately afterthe abnormal occurred when executing the 11thtest?

A.

Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 12thtest

B.

Return the database to a consistent state that allows subsequent test to run

C.

Take a backup of the database in its current state. So It can be analyzed later

D.

Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 1sttest.

A regression test suite consist of 500 test cases which are allexecuted manually. The business case for a pilot project is based on the adoption of test automation using a commercial tool that will reduce the execution time by a factor of 90% for 100% of the tests in the regression test suite. The pilot project lastedone month ( as planned) and you are currently its results. At the end of the pilot project, 40% of the regression tests have been automated and their execution time has been reduce by 60%.

Which of the following statements is TRUE in this scenario?

A.

Theduration of the pilot project was too short –it should last unit the success factors are achieved

B.

The target defined for the business case is too accurate –it should not be measureable

C.

The project selected for the pilot is too critical –if should not be too critical or too trivial

D.

The target defined for the business case seems difficult to hit – it should be realistic

Which of the following success factors for a test automation project is TRUE?

A.

Automated tests must be designed to capture only the datathat is strictly needed for comparing expected and actual results

B.

The test cases to be automated first must always be selected based on the number of times a test will need to be run

C.

The test cases to be automated must have a high dependency on particular data values

D.

Automated tests that fail due to changes in the requirements of the SUT should be promptly fixed rather than disabled from the test suite

Which of the following statements about the reuse of TAS artefacts is TRUE?

A.

Reusable TAS artefacts can include components (or parts of components) associated with different layers of the TAA

B.

To enable reuse of TAS artefacts, a good design for reuse is built into the TAA and to further action are needed during the TAS lifecycle

C.

Communications maintenance and improvements for reusing TAS artefacts are modify addressedduring the design of the TAA

D.

Reusable TAS artifacts associated with the definition layer of the TAA include the adaptors to the SUT components and/or interfaces

Designing the System Under Test (SUT) for testability is important for a good test automation approach and can also benefit manual test execution.

Which of the following is NOT a consideration when designing for testability?

A.

Observability: The SUT needs to provide interface that give insight into the system.

B.

Re-useability: The code written for the SUT must be re-useable for other similar system.

C.

Clearly defined architecture: The SUT Architecture needs to provide clear and understandable interfaces giving control and visibility on all test levels.

D.

Control: the SUT needs to provide interfaces that can be used to perform actions on SUT.

You have been asked to automate a set of functional tests at system Test level via the CLI of the SUT for the first release of a software system. The automated tests will be delivered to the learn in change of maintenance testing, who will use them for part of the regression testing. They have the following requirements.

1. The automated tests must be as fast and cheap to maintain as possible

2. The cost of adding new automated tests must be as low as possible

3. The automated tests must have a high level of independence from the tool itself

Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable?

A.

Data-driven scripting

B.

Keyword-driven scripting

C.

Linear scripting

D.

Structure scripting

As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be for several projects within yourorganization. The projects require that tool to work effectively and efficiently with SUT’s in distributed environments. The test automated tool also needs to interface with other existing test tools (test management tool and defect tracking tool.) The existing test tools subject to planned updates and their interface to the test automated tool may not work property after these updates.

Which of the following are the two LEAST important concerns related to the evaluation of the test automation in this scenario?

    Is the test automation tool able to launch processors and execute test cases on multiple machines in different environments?

    Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme that allows accessing different sets?

    Does the testautomation tool have a large feature set, but only part of the features will be sets?

    Do the release notes for the planned updates on existing specify the impacts on their interfaces to other tools?

Does the test automation tool need to install specific libraries that could impact the SUT?

A.

A and C

B.

A and E

C.

B and E

D.
