Question # 2

Consider a TAS that is going to be deployed 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 to be 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

Question # 4

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 thesystem (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

Question # 5

The Test Automation Manager has asked you to provide a solution for collecting metrics from the TAS that measures code coverage every time the automated regression test pack is run. The metrics must be trend based to ensure that the scope of the regression test pack continues to reflect enhancements made to the SUT - coverage must not drop and should ideally increase. The solution must be as automated as possible to avoid unnecessary manual overheads and errors. Which of the following approaches would BEST meet these requirements?

A. Test automation cannot measure code coverage for the SUT, only the code for the automation tools and scripts. The automated test cases would need to be run manually with a code coverage and reporting tool running in the background.
B. The automated testware would record overall code coverage for each run and add the figure to a new row in a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet. You would then present the spreadsheet to stakeholders so they could look for changes in coverage.
C. The automated testware would record overall code coverage for each run, export the data to a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet that automatically updates a trend analysis bar chart for you to distribute to stakeholders.
D. The automated testware would record the pass/fail rate of each regression test case, export the data to a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet that automatically updates a trend analysis success rate bar chart and emails it to stakeholders.

Question # 9

Consider A TAS for testing a desktop application via its GUI. All the test cases of the automated test suite contain the same identical sequences of steps at the beginning (to create the necessary objects when doing a preliminary configuration of the test environment and at the end (to remove everything created –specifically for the test itself during the preliminary configuration of the test environment). All automated test cases use the same set of assertion functions from a shared library, for verifying the values in the GUI fields ( e.g text boxes). What is the BEST recommendation for improving the TAS?

A. Implementing keywords with higher level of granularity
B. Improving the architecture of the application in order to improve its testability
C. Adopting a set of standard verification methods for use by all automated tests
D. Implementing standard setup and teardown functions at test case level

Question # 10

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 find more defects on the SUT

Question # 12

As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be for several projects within your organization. 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 test automation 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

Question # 15

Your TAS has been running successfully on a Windows/GUI based SUT for some years. The SUT has undergone minimal change over the years to maintain business as usual, deploying six-monthly releases for minor enhancements and bug fixes using a waterfall lifecycle. The TAS has not changed at all during this period. The current project for the SUT will be using the Scrum methodology to deliver a more modern, competitive, user interface. It is in the release planning stage with an agreed release backlog and set of sprints outlined. The move from lengthy waterfall releases to shorter sprints has led you to conduct a review of the current TAS to make sure it is robust and fully optimised for the timescale challenges of the new project. What two steps would be BEST to undertake during the review? a) Ensure that new automation code is using the same naming conventions as existing code. b) Perform a full regression run in Sprint 1 to identify what improvements could be made to the TAS for future sprints. c) Ensure that the TAS is using the latest libraries for the operating system. d) Review the functions that act upon the controls for the GUI for possible consolidation. e) Involve the test team to see what ease-of-use improvements they would like to see made to the TAS.
