Correct answerA

Question 3

Single choice

Assume that you are the TAE responsible for the correct functioning of a TAS, deployed in a test environment that consists of a few machines running the same version of the operating system. The TAS has been working and stable since its deployment, it has been used to run an automated test suite consisting of many similar automated test. The infrastructure team is planning to update the operating system on these machines by installing a new the service pack for security reasons. Since the vendor of the operating system assurance full backward compatibility, the infrastructure team assurance that there will be no impacts on the functioning of the TAS.

What is the BEST approach to confirm the correct functioning of the TAS in this scenario?

A
Verify the behavior of the automated tests by running a small tests, then gradually run the remaining tests to confirm the correct functioning of the whole automated test suite.
B
Make sure that the infrastructure team has completed installing the service pack on the machines where SUT is running, then run the whole automated test suite to verify its behavior
C
Verify the behavior of the whole automated test suite by running all the automated tests
D
Do not run any tests because you can immediately confirm the correct functioning of the automated test suite

Question 4

Single choice

You identified a suitable project to pilot an automation tool and planned and conduced a pilot. The pilot has been successful and tool Is being deployed within your organization, with a plan to increase tool use by the one project at a time. During this rollout some test processes will be changed slightly to gain additional benefits from using the tool.
In the pilot project, a small set of manual tests were automated for the first time. You are currently monitoring the test automation efficiency and this reveals that the automation regime for the tests is not yet mature.

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A
The approach used for deployed this tool is aligned to the standard success factor for deployment
B
The pilot project should have been critical so that maximum benefits were delivered
C
The target defined for the project was inappropriate, because the automation regime for the automated tests at the end of the pilot is not yet mature.
D
The test process should be radically changed to gain additional benefits from using the tool.

Question 5

Single choice

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?

A
Looking for tools that allows direct denoting of exceptions and actions depending on the SUT events.
B
Adopting a test definition strategy based on classification tree coverage for the test definition layer.
C
Looking for tools that allow performing setup and teardown of the test suites and the SUT.
D
Adopting a test definition strategy based on use case/exception case coverage for the definition layer.

Question 6

Single choice

You have been asked to automate a set of functional tests at system Test level via the CLI of the SUT for the first release of a software system. The automated tests will be delivered to the learn in change of maintenance testing, who will use them for part of the regression testing. They have the following requirements.
1. The automated tests must be as fast and cheap to maintain as possible
2. The cost of adding new automated tests must be as low as possible
3. The automated tests must have a high level of independence from the tool itself

Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable?

A
Data-driven scripting
B
Keyword-driven scripting
C
Linear scripting
D
Structure scripting
