Question # 4

Which of the following statements does NOT describe good practice for maintaining the TAS?

Options:

A.

The TAS must run in the development environment because development and programming knowledge are required for its maintainability

B.

The TAS must be under configuration management, along with the test suite, the testware artefacts and the test environment in which it runs

C.

The TAS must separate the test scripts from the environment in which it runs and from the associated harnesses and artefacts

D.

The TAS must consist of components that can be easily replaced without affecting the overall behavior of the TAS itself

Question # 5

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?

Options:

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 the integration 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 tests for 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 tests for 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.

Question # 6

A suite of automated test cases was run multiple times on the same release of the SUT in the same test environment. Consider analyzing a test histogram that shows the distribution of test results (pass, fail, etc.) for each test case across these runs. Which of the following potential issues is MOST likely to be identified as a result of such an analysis?

Options:

A.

Outliers in test execution times

B.

Security vulnerabilities in automated test cases

C.

Unstable automated test cases

D.

Maintainability issues in automated test cases

Question # 7

An automated test case that should always pass sometimes passes and sometimes fails intermittently (non-deterministic behavior) when executed in the same test environment, even if no code (i.e., SUT code or the test automation code) has been changed. Which of the following statements about the root cause of this non-deterministic behavior is TRUE?

Options:

A.

The specified root cause is a race condition that can be identified by also analyzing the log files of the test case, the SUT, and the TAF

B.

Determining the specified root cause may require, in addition to the TAE, the support of others such as developers and system engineers

C.

The specified root cause must be in the instability of the test environment, since no code has been changed

D.

Determining the specified root cause is certainly easier than if the automated test always fails (deterministic behavior)

Question # 8

Which of the following recommendations can help improve the maintainability of test automation code?

Options:

A.

Use error codes in test automation code instead of exceptions (if exceptions are supported by the programming language) for error handling

B.

Avoid producing test automation code containing methods with too many levels of nesting, as deeply nested code is more difficult to understand

C.

Avoid adopting design patterns that introduce high levels of abstraction in test automation code, such as the flow model pattern

D.

Avoid using static analyzers on test automation code and other development tools, as they are designed to improve the maintainability of SUT code

Question # 9

You have been asked to determine a TAS for a new release of a SUT, test should be automated wherever. The new release will consist of 5 new interfaces and an amendment to 3 existing interfaces. The new and amended interface will be deliver incrementally in 3 sprints, each lasting 2 weeks.

What would be the BEST Test Automation Solution (TAS) design in this scenario?

Options:

A.

Automate tests at both Component and System Level. Only do this automation once every interface has been fully developed or amended and manual testing has completed successfully.

B.

Automate tests at one level only, System level. Use only the newly developed interfaces and do not create any customized interfaces/test hooks.

C.

Automate the tests at two levels, Component and System level. Create customized hooks at Component level for interface not yet developed or amended. Only use the newly developed or amended interfaces to test at System level.

D.

Automate a test at once level, component level, Create customized interface/test hooks for this level where the interface has not yet been developed or amended.

Question # 10

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?

Options:

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

Question # 11

A regression test suite consist of 500 test cases which are all executed 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 lasted one 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?

Options:

A.

The duration 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

B.

A is an internal TAS metric and B is an external TAS metric

C.

A and b are both external TAS metric

Question # 13

Consider a TAS deployed into production. The SUT is a web application and the test suite consists of a set of automated regression tests developed via GUI. A keyword-driven framework has been adopted for automating the regression tests. The tests are based on identification at low-levels of the web page components (e.g class indexes, tab sequence indexes and coordinates) in the next planned release the SUT will be subject to significant corrective maintenance (bug-fixes) and evolution (new features) Maintenance costs to update the test scripts should be as low as possible and the scripts must be highly reusable.

Which of the following statements is most likely to be TRUE?

Options:

A.

The keyword-driven framework is not suitable, it would be better to adopt a structured-scripting approach

B.

False positive errors are likely to occur when running the automated tests on the new releases without modifying the test

C.

The total execution time of the automated regression test suite will decrease for each planned release.

D.

The keyword-driven framework introduces a level abstraction that is too high and makes it difficult what really happens
