Question 1

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 same version 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

Answer : A

Question 2

Which of the following statements BEST describe aspects of the SUT to consider when designing a TAA?

AAll the interaction between SUT and TAS should be logged with the highest level of detail

BAll the internal test interfaces of the SUT should be removed prior to the product release

CAll the interface of the SUT affected by the tests should be controllable by the TAA

DAll the external test interfaces of the SUT should be removed prior to the product release

Answer : A

Question 3

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 4

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?

AAutomate 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.

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

CAutomate 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.

DAutomate 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.

Answer : A, C

Question 5

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

AThe ability to perform tests which would be difficult or impossible to execute manually

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

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

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

Answer : C

Question 6

Which of the following metrics could suggest, under certain condition that an automated regression test suite has NOT been updated for new functionalities added to the SUT?

AThe ratio of comments to executable statements in the SUT code.

BThe SUT code coverage provided by the execution of the regression test suite.

CThe defect density in the automation code of the regression test suite.

DThe ratio of commands to executable statements in the automation code of the regression test suite

Answer : C

Question 7

You identified a suitable project to pilot an automation tool and planned and conduced a pilot. The pilot has been successful and tool Is being deployed within your organization, with a plan to increase tool use by the one project at a time. During this rollout some test processes will be changed slightly to gain additional benefits from using the tool.

In the pilot project, a small set of manual tests were automated for the first time. You are currently monitoring the test automation efficiency and this reveals that the automation regime for the tests is not yet mature.

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

AThe approach used for deployed this tool is aligned to the standard success factor for deployment

BThe pilot project should have been critical so that maximum benefits were delivered

CThe target defined for the project was inappropriate, because the automation regime for the automated tests at the end of the pilot is not yet mature.

DThe test process should be radically changed to gain additional benefits from using the tool.
