Question 1

Consider a TAS that uses a keyword-driven framework. The SUT is a web application and there is a large set of keywords available for writing the automated tests that relate to highly specific user actions linked directly to the GUI of the SUT. The automated test written with the keywords are statically analyzed by a custom tool which highlight's repeated instances of identical sequence of keywords. The waiting mechanism implemented by the TAS for a webpage load is based on a synchronous sampling within a given timeout. The TAS allows checking a webpage load every seconds until a timeout value

AChanging the scripting approach to data-driven scripting

BImplementing keywords with a higher level of granularity

CChanging the wait mechanism to explicit hard-coded waits

DEstablishing an error recovery process for TAS and SUT

Answer : B

Question 2

Which of the following attributes should NOT be included in a test execution report associated with a suite of automated tests?

ASummary of the test execution results

BSystem/Application under test and its version

CDefect clusters identified during test execution

DEnvironment in which the tests have been executed

Answer : A

Question 3

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?

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

BThe configuration management process does not properly control the synchronization between software archives

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

DThe automated regression test suite has a narrower scope of functionality

Answer : C

Question 4

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?

AStore 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.

BStore 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

CStore 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

DStore 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.

Answer : A

Question 5

You are using a gTAA to create a TAS for a project. The TAS is aimed at automatically and executing test cases based on a use-case

Modeling approaching that uses UML as a modeling language. All the interaction between TAS and SUT will only be at the API and GUI level.

Which of the following components of the gTAA would you EXCLUDE from the TAS?

AThe test reporting component of the test execution layer.

BThe Test execution component of the test generation layer

CThe test execution (test engine of the test execution layer

DThe Command Line Interface (CLI) component of the test adaptation layer

Answer : D

Question 6

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?

AData-driven scripting

BKeyword-driven scripting

CLinear scripting

DStructure scripting

Answer : D

Question 7

A TAS uses a commercial test automation tool and the default logs generated by the inconsistent formats such as different types of messages (pass/fail steps, screenshots, warnings, etc.) To solve this issue some custom logging functions have been created from the test scripts, making it possible to log the different types of messages with the same format. However, this may cause a problem due to excessive size of the logs which can make it difficult to find the required information. Assume that all the default logs will be disabled when running the automated tests and that some tests will not generate excessively sized logs.

Which of the following represents the BEST suggestion for implementing the custom logging functions?

AImplement the custom logging functions without saving timestamps

BImplement the custom logging functions to support different levels of tracing

CImplement the custom logging functions without saving stack traces

DImplement the custom logging functions to redirect the logs to multiple files

Answer : B
