You are working on a TAS for standalone application. The automated tests are developed based on a automation framework that allows interaction with GUI elements using on object orientated API. The GUI elements include menus, buttons, radio buttons, text toolbars and their properties.

Whilst automating a test, you have discovered that the GUI elements of some third party components are not identifiable by the automated tool you are using.

Which of the following is the FIRST stepthat you take to investigate this issue?

A.

Verify the testability support with the providers of the third party components

B.

Verify whether the GUI identification depends on the browser.

C.

Adopt an approach that uses the coordinates of the GUI elementsinstead

D.

Verify whether naming standards for variables and have been defined for the current automation solution

A project consists of distributed teams working in a 24-hour environment, where activities happen at all hours of the day. This project adopts a CI (Continuous Integration) process when developer check-in code and consists of automated activities that include generating a build and deploying it to a test environment. Automated integration tests are run multiple times a day. The project have asked for a report containing the automation test results for every build, which must be available 24/7 to the project team.

Which of the following would be the BEST way to automatically provides this report?

A.

Store the execution results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds), use this database to automatically update a dashboard containing the build history and test results accessible to the project team.

B.

Store the execution result of theintegration tests for the last build to a database (overwriting the results from the previous build), automatically create a test execution report for this build send It via e-mail to the project team

C.

Store the execution results of the integration testsfor the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). Automatically create a test execution report for this build and send it via e-mail to the project team

D.

Store the code coverage results of the integration testsfor the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). And automatically create a chart showing the trend in code coverage and send via email to the project team.

A defect in a SUT has been resolved and validated by an automated defect re-test in the current release of the software. This retest has now been added to the automated regression test suite.

Which statement BEST describes a reason why this defect could re-occur in future releases?

A.

Automated defect confirmation testing is not effective at confirming that the resolved defect will continue to work in future releases

B.

Theconfiguration management process does not properly control the synchronization between software archives

C.

The automated regression test suite is not run consistently for future releases.

D.

The automated regression test suite has a narrower scope of functionality

Which of the following is NOT an advantage of test automation?

A.

The ability to perform tests which would be difficult orimpossible to execute manually

B.

The ability to run more tests in less time and therefore to make it possible to run them more often

C.

The ability to find more defects with the same tests, compared to executing the same test manually

D.

The ability to enable a better use of skilled testers by freeing them from repetitive and boring tasks

Consider the following layers of the gTAA structure:

a. Test generation layer

b. Test definition layer

c. Test execution layer

d. Test execution layer

Consider the following capabilities associated with these layers.

Acquire all thenecessary resources before each test and release all after run, in order to avoid interdependences between test

Allow the automated test scripts on an abstract level to interact with components, configurations and interfaces of the SUT.

Design test directives that allow configuring the algorithms used to automatically produce the test cases a given model of the SUT.

Allow the definition and implementation of test cases and data by means of templates and/or guidelines.

Which of the following BEST matches each layer with the appropriate capability?

A.

a-3, b-4, c-1, d-2

B.

a-4, b-3, c-1, d-2

C.

a-4, b-3, c-2, d-1

D.

a-3, b-4, c-2, d-1

A SUT has an existing automated test suite.

Which of the following statements relating to the introduction of new features in the SUT is TRUE?

A.

Automated tests are not affected by the introduction of a new feature and running them against the new SUT is a waste of effort

B.

The introduction of a new feature could require updates or additions to the testware components

C.

The test automation engineer should work with the business analysts to ensure the new feature is testable

D.

It is generally more difficult to automate test cases for a new feature as the development has not yet started

You are currently designing the TAA of a TAS. You have been asked to adopt an approach forautomatically generating and executing test cases from a model that defines the SUT. The SUT is a state-based and event-driven that is described by a finite-state machine and exposes its functionality via an API. The behavior of the SUT depends on hardwareand communication links that can be unreliable.

Which of the following aspects is MOST important when designing the TAA in this scenario?

A.

Looking for tools that allows direct denoting of exceptions and actions depending on the SUT events.

B.

Adopting a test definition strategy based on classification tree coverage for the test definition layer.

C.

Looking for tools that allow performing setup and teardown of the test suites and the SUT.

D.

Adopting a test definition strategy based on use case/exception case coverage for the definition layer.

What is NOT a factor in considering when you are asked to ensure an effective transition from manual to automated tests?

A.

Complexity to automate the manual test cases

B.

Correctness of test data and test cases

C.

The look andfeel of the SUT

D.

The controllability of the SUT

Assume that you are the TAE responsible for the correct functioning of a TAS, deployed in a test environment that consists of a few machines running the same version of the operating system. The TAS has been working and stable since its deployment, it has been used to run an automated test suite consisting of many similar automated test. The infrastructure team is planning to update the operating system on these machines by installing a new the service pack for security reasons. Since the vendor of the operating system assurance full backward compatibility, the infrastructure team assurance that there will be no impacts on the functioning of the TAS.

What is the BEST approach to confirm the correct functioning of the TAS in this scenario?

A.

Verify the behavior of the automated tests by running a small tests, then gradually run the remaining tests to confirm the correct functioning of the whole automated test suite.

B.

Make sure that the infrastructure team has completed installing the service pack on the machines where SUT is running, then run the whole automated test suite to verify itsbehavior

C.

Verify the behavior of the whole automated test suite by running all the automated tests

D.

Do not run any tests because you can immediately confirm the correct functioning of the automated test suite

Consider a SUT that small run on multiple platform during the execution of automated test runs. In each test run an automated test suite needs to be executed, with the same version of the TAF, against the sameversion of the SUT of each platform. Each platform shall have its own dedicated test environment. Your goal is to implement a process as automated as possible ( i.e with minimal manual intervention) that allows implementing a consistent setup of the TAS across the multiple test environments.

Which two of the following aspects are MOST relevant for achieving your goal in this scenario?

    The configuration of the TAS uses automated installation scripts

    The TAF saves the logs needed to debug errors in XML format

C) Features of the TAF not used by the automated tests have been tested

D) All the automated test cases contain the expected results

E) The TAS components are under configuration management

A.

A and e

B.

B and c

C.

B and d

D.
