Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 4

Consider the following layers of the gTAA structure:

a. Test generation layer

b. Test definition layer

c. Test execution layer

d. Test execution layer

Consider the following capabilities associated with these layers.

Acquire all the necessary resources before each test and release all after run, in order to avoid interdependences between test

Allow the automated test scripts on an abstract level to interact with components, configurations and interfaces of the SUT.

Design test directives that allow configuring the algorithms used to automatically produce the test cases a given model of the SUT.

Allow the definition and implementation of test cases and data by means of templates and/or guidelines.

Which of the following BEST matches each layer with the appropriate capability?

Aa-3, b-4, c-1, d-2

Ba-4, b-3, c-1, d-2

Ca-4, b-3, c-2, d-1

Da-3, b-4, c-2, d-1

Answer : C

Question 5

Designing the System Under Test (SUT) for testability is important for a good test automation approach and can also benefit manual test execution.

Which of the following is NOT a consideration when designing for testability?

AObservability: The SUT needs to provide interface that give insight into the system.

BRe-useability: The code written for the SUT must be re-useable for other similar system.

CClearly defined architecture: The SUT Architecture needs to provide clear and understandable interfaces giving control and visibility on all test levels.

DControl: the SUT needs to provide interfaces that can be used to perform actions on SUT.

Answer : B

Question 6

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 7

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?
