BCS BCS-CTAL-TAE Online Questions & Answers

  • Question 11:

    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?

    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

  • Question 12:

    You are a TAE working for a software house which provides quarterly releases of its software to its customers. There are many different versions of the SUT that need to be tested simultaneously by different tests teams.

    Your TAS is complex and you need to ensure it remains consistent across the different SUT environments. What is the BEST and MOST efficient way to ensure each of the test teams use the same version of the TAS to test the different versions of the SUT?

    A. Due to the complexities involved and the high risks associated with these releases, it would be best to revert to manual testing.
    B. Produce comprehensive documentation of the TAS, installation and usage guidelines and provide training for each team member.
    C. Install the TAS is a central repository and have an automated installation and configuration of the TAS from this repository to each of the SUT environments.
    D. Develop a tool to track historical test results across the different SUT environments and look for trends.

  • Question 13:

    New features have been added for the current release of a SUT.

    Which action would NOT be appropriate for the TAE to perform when evaluating the impact on the TAS?

    A. Gather feedback from the Business Analysts to determine if the current TAS will meet the needs of the new features.
    B. Review existing keywords to see if they need to be modified.
    C. Run existing automated tests against the updated SUT to verify and record any changes to their correct operation.
    D. Evaluate compatibility with existing test tools and, where necessary, identify alternative solutions.

  • Question 14:

    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?

    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

  • Question 15:

    You have been asked to determine a TAS for a new release of a SUT, test should be automated wherever. The new release will consist of 5 new interfaces and an amendment to 3 existing interfaces. The new and amended interface will be deliver incrementally in 3 sprints, each lasting 2 weeks.

    What would be the BEST Test Automation Solution (TAS) design in this scenario?

    A. Automate tests at both Component and System Level. Only do this automation once every interface has been fully developed or amended and manual testing has completed successfully.
    B. Automate tests at one level only, System level. Use only the newly developed interfaces and do not create any customized interfaces/test hooks.
    C. Automate the tests at two levels, Component and System level. Create customized hooks at Component level for interface not yet developed or amended. Only use the newly developed or amended interfaces to test at System level.
    D. Automate a test at once level, component level, Create customized interface/test hooks for this level where the interface has not yet been developed or amended.

  • Question 16:

    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?

    A. a-3, b-4, c-1, d-2
    B. a-4, b-3, c-1, d-2
    C. a-4, b-3, c-2, d-1
    D. a-3, b-4, c-2, d-1

  • Question 17:

    In order to achieve re-use of a TAS, where SHOULD the design for reuse occur?

    A. At the code level
    B. At the framework level.
    C. At the TAS level
    D. At the TAA level

  • Question 18:

    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?

    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

  • Question 19:

    Which of the following CORRECTLY describes how automation SHOULD be applied to confirmation testing?

    A. Confirmation tests are not good candidates for automation as they are not designed to run many times
    B. Confirmation tests should only be automated if they fail to pass on the first attempt
    C. Confirmation tests can be automated and incorporated into an automated regression suite to show whether defects that were previously fixed reoccur
    D. A confirmation test should only be automated after it has been run manually

  • Question 20:

    You are working on a government system called "Making Tax Digital" or MTD for short. This system is being implemented to stop manual human input error and also to reduce fraudulent behaviour from companies when submitting their tax

    and VAT returns.

    The key concept is that registered companies will need to use government recommended 3rd party software for their accounts and book keeping. These 3rd party applications will have a direct interface into the government's main system for

    transactions and submissions.

    You have been using a test execution tool successfully on the project so far. and have implemented a basic "capture/replay" approach to scripting. The management have been encouraged with the automation so far, but want the following objectives to be met:

    1. Test cases added easily

    2. Reduction in the amount of scripts and script duplication

    3. Reduction in maintenance costs

    Which scripting technique would be MOST suitable in this scenario in order to meet the objectives?

    A. Linear scripting
    B. Structured scripting
    C. Data-driven scripting
    D. Keyword-driven scripting
