Question 1

What is NOT a factor in considering when you are asked to ensure an effective transition from manual to automated tests?

AComplexity to automate the manual test cases

BCorrectness of test data and test cases

CThe look and feel of the SUT

DThe controllability of the SUT

Answer : D

Question 2

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 3

You are using a gTAA to create a TAS for a project. The TAS is aimed specifically at automating a suit of existing manual test cases for standalone desktop applications. All the interfaces between the TAS and SUT will be from the CUI of the application.

Which of the following layers of the gTAA should you focus on for the TAS?

AThe test Generation layer

BThe Test Definition layer

CThe Test Adaption layer

DThe Test Execution layer

Answer : A

Question 4

A SUT has an existing automated test suite.

Which of the following statements relating to the introduction of new features in the SUT is TRUE?

AAutomated tests are not affected by the introduction of a new feature and running them against the new SUT is a waste of effort

BThe introduction of a new feature could require updates or additions to the testware components

CThe test automation engineer should work with the business analysts to ensure the new feature is testable

DIt is generally more difficult to automate test cases for a new feature as the development has not yet started

Answer : A

Question 5

Which of the following success factors for a test automation project is TRUE?

AAutomated tests must be designed to capture only the data that is strictly needed for comparing expected and actual results

BThe test cases to be automated first must always be selected based on the number of times a test will need to be run

CThe test cases to be automated must have a high dependency on particular data values

DAutomated tests that fail due to changes in the requirements of the SUT should be promptly fixed rather than disabled from the test suite

Answer : D

Question 6

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 7

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?

AData-driven scripting

BKeyword-driven scripting

CLinear scripting

DStructure scripting

Answer : D
