Questions # 1:

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

Options:

A.

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


B.

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


C.

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


D.

It allows testers to findmore defects on the SUT


Expert Solution
Questions # 2:

As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be for several projects within yourorganization. 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 testautomation 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?

Options:

A.

A and C


B.

A and E


C.

B and E


D.

C and D


Expert Solution
Questions # 3:

A defect in a SUT has been resolved and validated by an automated defect re-test in the current release of the software. This retest has now been added to the automated regression test suite.

Which statement BEST describes a reason why this defect could re-occur in future releases?

Options:

A.

Automated defect confirmation testing is not effective at confirming that the resolved defect will continue to work in future releases


B.

Theconfiguration management process does not properly control the synchronization between software archives


C.

The automated regression test suite is not run consistently for future releases.


D.

The automated regression test suite has a narrower scope of functionality


Expert Solution
Questions # 4:

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?

Options:

A.

The test reporting component of the test execution layer.


B.

The Test execution component of the test generation layer


C.

The test execution (test engine of the test execution layer


D.

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


Expert Solution
Questions # 5:

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?

Options:

A.

Data-driven scripting


B.

Keyword-driven scripting


C.

Linear scripting


D.

Structure scripting


Expert Solution
Questions # 6:

Consider a TAS that isgoing 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 othertarget

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 wouldyou expect to be MOST effective at mitigating the risk associated with the first deployment of the TAS?

Options:

A.

Testing the TAS for application compatibility issues in the target environment


B.

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


C.

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


D.

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


Expert Solution
Questions # 7:

Consider thefollowing example of TAS metrics.

Time to execute automated tests

Speed and efficiency of TAS components

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Options:

A.

A and B are both internal TAS metrics


B.

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


C.

A and b are both external TAS metric


D.

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


Expert Solution
Questions # 8:

Which of the following metrics could suggest, under certain condition that an automated regression test suite has NOT been updated for new functionalities added to the SUT?

Options:

A.

The ratio of comments to executable statements in the SUT code.


B.

The SUT code coverage provided by the execution of the regression test suite.


C.

The defect density in the automation code of the regression test suite.


D.

The ratio of commands to executable statements in the automation code of the regression test suite


Expert Solution
Questions # 9:

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

Options:

A.

Automated tests must be designed to capture only the datathat is strictly needed for comparing expected and actual results


B.

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


C.

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


D.

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


Expert Solution
Questions # 10:

Consider a TAS associated to dynamically changing software frequent releases. Your goal is todetermine the amount of effort required to maintain the automated tests of the regression test suite for each new release of the SUT.

What is the MOST important metric to collect to achieve your goal?

Options:

A.

The code coverage achieved with the automated tests,for each new release of the SUT


B.

The number of automated tests which fail because of a single software defect, for each new release of the SUT


C.

The time it takes to execute all the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT.


D.

The number ofautomated tests requiring maintenance, for each new release of the SUT.
