Question 1

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 2

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 : C

Question 3

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?

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

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

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

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

Answer : A

Question 4

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 5

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 6

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?

AStore 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 automatically update a dashboard containing the build history and test results accessible to the project team.

BStore 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

CStore 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

DStore 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.

Answer : A

Question 7

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
