Question 1

Which of the following is NOT a technical design consideration for a TAA?

AThe number of users for the SUT

BAvailability of interfaces for the SUT to be testable

CStandards and Legal requirements, e.g data privacy

DData used by the SUT, e.g configuration, users

Answer : A

Question 2

Consider the following example of TAS metrics.

Time to execute automated tests

Speed and efficiency of TAS components

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

AA and B are both internal TAS metrics

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

CA and b are both external TAS metric

DA is and external TAS metric and b is an internal TAS metric

Answer : D

Question 3

You are reviewing the testability of your SUT.

Which of the following BEST refers to the characteristic of OBSERVABILITY?

AThe ability of the SUT to perform its intended function for a specified period of time

BThe ability to exercise the SUT by entering inputs, triggering events and invoking methods

CThe ability of the SUT to prevent unauthorized access to its components or data.

DThe ability to identify states, outputs, intermediate result and error messages in the SUT

Answer : D

Question 4

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?

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

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

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

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

Answer : C

Question 5

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 the system (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?

AMaturity of the test process

BComplexity to automate

CFrequency of use

DSustainability of the automated environment

Answer : D

Question 6

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

Question 7

Your goal is to verify completeness, consistency and correct behavior of an automated test suite. The TAS has been proven to successfully install in the SUT environment. All the preliminary checks to verify the correct functioning of the automated test environment and test tool configuration, installation and setup have successfully completed.

Which of the following is NOT a relevant check for achieving your goal in this scenario?

AChecking whether all the test cases contain the expected results

BChecking whether the post condition have been fulfilled for all the test cases

CChecking whether the loading of the TAS is repeatable in the SUT environment

DChecking whether all the test cases produce repeatable outcomes
