Question 1

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?

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 automaticallyupdate a dashboard containing the build history and test results accessible to the project team.

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

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

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 2

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?

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

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

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

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

Question 3

You are working as a TAE for a company who are re-designing their website. The new website provides information for customers and there are two minor features being developed:
1) Request a newsletter
2) Ability to contact the organisation with a question or comment
The website must be ??mobile friendly" and available on all major web browsers.
You have been tasked to provide an automated solution for web browsers only and to concentrate on the two minor features.
What would be a KEY challenge with automation in this context?

A low level of intrusion is likely from use of existing UI elements, but depending on the solution this might be more complex than a higher level of intrusion.

Because there is a high level of intrusion there may be many false alarms.

Automation might not be possible on the mobile devices.

The benefits of automation might not be achieved for many years due to the complexities of the SUT and automation solution.

Question 4

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

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

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

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

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

Question 5

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?

Testing the TAS for application compatibility issues in the target environment

Testing the TAS for its ability to be implemented in other target test environments.

Testing the TAS for regressions due to optimization that fix non-functional issues.

Testing the TAS for ITS ability to run a shared test environment

Question 6

You are currently designing the TAA of a TAS. You have been asked to adopt an approach for automatically 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 hardware and communication links that can be unreliable.
Which of the following aspects is MOST important when designing the TAA in this scenario?

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

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

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

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

Question 7

What represents good practice when automating a manual regression test suite?

Test data shared between tests should, where feasible, be stored and accessed from a single source to avoid duplication or introduction of error.

All existing manual tests should be decomposed into several smaller automated tests to reduce functional overlap.

Remove inter-dependencies between tests to reduce automation failures and costly error analysis.

Once a manual test has been automated, execute it immediately to Identify whether it operates correctly.

Question 8

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?

The test reporting component of the test execution layer.

The Test execution component of the test generation layer

The test execution (test engine of the test execution layer

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

Question 9

Which of the following BEST describes why it is important to separate test definition from test execution in a TAA?

It allows developing steps of the test process without being closely tied to the SUT interface.

It allow choosing different paradigms (e.g event-driven) for the interaction TAS and SUT

It allows specify test cases without being closely tied to the tool to run them against the SUT

It allows testers to find more defects on the SUT

Question 10

The GUI of a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application has been delivered through internet Explorer with proprietary Active X and Java controls. This implementation enables rich client capabilities, but specific commercial automation tools are necessary to automate test cases at GUI of functional test cases. This is to demonstrate whether a small set of the commercial are able to properly recognize actions taken by a tester when interacting with GUI of the CRM application.
Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable in this scenario?

Data-driven scripting

Keyword-driven scripting

Linear scripting

Structure scripting

Question 11

You have been asked to implement test automation for a project that is not meeting its deadlines. After further analysis you discover that the manual testers are not able to keep up with the new feature testing because the regression testing is taking 75% of their time. As a result, the new features are being released with many defects and customers are complaining about the quality.
Given this information, what metric SHOULD you be tracking to show the value of test automation for this project?

Percentage of code covered by the test automation.

Equivalent Manual Test Effort for the automated tests.

Number of defects found by test automation.

Percentage of builds accepted/rejected by the automated tests.

Question 12

What are the four horizontal layers of the gTAA?

Test adaptation, test execution, test design, test definition

Test generation, test execution, test definition, test APIs

Test generation, test definition, test execution, test adaptation

Test definition, test execution, test reporting, test adaptation

Question 13

You are implementing a TAS for a system that has been live for over three years, using a hybrid waterfall and agile lifecycle. Live updates are made on a monthly basis.
There is no test team, with developers designing and executing unit and integration tests with some degree of automation and business analysts designing and executing manual tests at the system level. No formal test process exists, although the system has proved relatively stable for most of the time.
Unfortunately, the last two monthly releases were problematic with regression defects found in production. Your priority is the automation of functional regression tests at the system level, the budget for this has been approved by project stakeholders.
The Business Analysts have identified which test cases are most suitable for regression. You must use the organisation's long standing commercial automation tool which has passed a proof of concept in the platform for the system in question.
Which of the following suitability criteria needs the MOST attention for the TAS?

Technical planning in support of ROI analysis

Frequency of use.

Compatibility and tool support

Maturity of the test process

Question 14

You are working on a government system called ??Making Tax Digital" or MTD for short. This system is being implemented to stop manual human input error and also to reduce fraudulent behaviour from companies when submitting their tax and VAT returns.
The key concept is that registered companies will need to use government recommended 3rd party software for their accounts and book keeping. These 3rd party applications will have a direct interface into the government's main system for transactions and submissions.
You have been using a test execution tool successfully on the project so far. and have implemented a basic ??capture/replay?? approach to scripting.
The management have been encouraged with the automation so far, but want the following objectives to be met:
* Test cases added easily
* Reduction in the amount of scripts and script duplication
* Reduction in maintenance costs
Which scripting technique would be MOST suitable in this scenario in order to meet the objectives?

Linear scripting

Structured scripting

Data-driven scripting

Keyword-driven scripting

Question 15

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?

Automate tests at both Component and System Leve

Only do this automation once every interface has been fully developed or amended and manual testing has completed successfully.

Automate tests at one level only, System leve

Use only the newly developed interfaces and do not create any customized interfaces/test hooks.

Automate the tests at two levels, Component and System leve

Create customized hooks at Component level for interface not yet developed or amende

Only use the newly developed or amended interfaces to test at System level.

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 16

As the TAE, you are working with the organisation's Test Manager to decide which external metrics and which internal metrics should be gathered for the new TAS.
Which of the following represents the BEST internal metric that would help measure the quality of the TAS and the number of problems associated with the TAS?

The average maintenance cost to keep an automated test in sync with the SUT

The number of hours of manual test effort saved by implementing a TAS

A measure of defect density within the TAS automation code

A measure of how many automated tests pass and fail

Question 17

You are testing a major enhancement to an air traffic control user interface. You have use of a sophisticated pre-production test environment, created specifically for large scale automated regression, performance and security testing. The window for regression testing is limited and must successfully conclude, with no major regressions remaining, before the non-functional testing starts.
You have been using the same version of the TAS for the last few releases, each time completing the automated regression test suite in a single overnight run. However, due to the latest enhancements for the SUT, you believe there is a risk that the test suite may no longer complete
overnight and therefore delay performance and security testing.
Which option would be the BEST and MOST cost-efficient approach to mitigate this risk?

Create a mirror of the pre-production test environment and split the regression test suite to run in parallel across the environments.

Split the regression test suite into multiple parts, running in the environment across consecutive nights.

Analyse the regression test suite and remove test coverage duplication and redundancy.

Introduce better coding practices for the automation scripts, including coding guidelines, reviews and improved static analysis.

Question 18

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

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

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

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

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