BCS BCS-CTAL-TAE Online Questions & Answers

  • Question 21:

    Which of the following is NOT an advantage of test automation?

    A. The ability to perform tests which would be difficult or impossible to execute manually
    B. The ability to run more tests in less time and therefore to make it possible to run them more often
    C. The ability to find more defects with the same tests, compared to executing the same test manually
    D. The ability to enable a better use of skilled testers by freeing them from repetitive and boring tasks

  • Question 22:

    You are planning the pilot for an in-house developed Test Automation solution (TAS).

    Which two of the following would be important steps to take as part of the planning process?

    a) Review your organisation's current projects and identify which one would be most suitable to pilot the TAS.

    b) Ensure that the developers will provide the necessary commitment for the TAS deployment activities.

    c) Run a series of training workshops for new users of the TAS before they are asked to use it.

    d) Develop a project plan for the pilot and reserve the necessary budget and resources for its implementation.

    e) Ask the developers to provide any missing functionality during the deployment activities.

    A. a and b
    B. b and d
    C. c and d
    D. c and e

  • Question 23:

    What are the four horizontal layers of the gTAA?

    A. Test adaptation, test execution, test design, test definition
    B. Test generation, test execution, test definition, test APIs
    C. Test generation, test definition, test execution, test adaptation
    D. Test definition, test execution, test reporting, test adaptation

  • Question 24:

    Which of the following describes how a test execution report is likely to be used?

    A. To understand which test step caused the failure in a test case
    B. To identify problematic areas of the SUT by keeping a history showing which test cases fail the most
    C. To measure coverage of the test basis by a test suite
    D. To record how a test case failure has been fixed

  • Question 25:

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

    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 find more defects on the SUT

  • Question 26:

    You are testing a major enhancement to an air traffic control user interface. You have use of a sophisticated pre-production test environment, created specifically for large scale automated regression, performance and security testing. The

    window for regression testing is limited and

    must successfully conclude, with no major regressions remaining, before the non-functional testing starts.

    You have been using the same version of the TAS for the last few releases, each time completing the automated regression test suite in a single overnight run. However, due to the latest enhancements for the SUT, you believe there is a risk

    that the test suite may no longer complete overnight and therefore delay performance and security testing.

    Which option would be the BEST and MOST cost-efficient approach to mitigate this risk?

    A. Create a mirror of the pre-production test environment and split the regression test suite to run in parallel across the environments.
    B. Split the regression test suite into multiple parts, running in the environment across consecutive nights.
    C. Analyse the regression test suite and remove test coverage duplication and redundancy.
    D. Introduce better coding practices for the automation scripts, including coding guidelines, reviews and improved static analysis.

  • Question 27:

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

    A) Is the test automation tool able to launch processors and execute test cases on multiple machines in different environments?

    B) Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme that allows accessing different sets?

    C) Does the test automation tool have a large feature set, but only part of the features will be sets?

    D) Do the release notes for the planned updates on existing specify the impacts on their interfaces to other tools?

    E) Does the test automation tool need to install specific libraries that could impact the SUT?

    A. A and C
    B. A and E
    C. B and E
    D. C and D

  • Question 28:

    You have inherited a TAS that is working well it uses keyword-driven scripting and was well architected. The automation architect who built the system has now moved on to another company. The TAS is working across several projects and has a multiple library of keywords, categorised by project. The individual project teams maintain these keyword scripts.

    Based only on the given information, what is the MOST significant risk for the TAS?

    A. The keyword driven scripts may become out of date if not maintained
    B. The level of abstraction, coupled with the departure of the architect may make the system hard to maintain
    C. New projects may not work as well with the TAS as the current projects
    D. Because the keyword scripts are maintained by different teams, there is a likelihood that good coding standards are not followed

  • Question 29:

    You are working on a TAS for standalone application. The automated tests are developed based on a automation framework that allows interaction with GUI elements using on object orientated API. The GUI elements include menus, buttons,

    radio buttons, text toolbars and their properties.

    Whilst automating a test, you have discovered that the GUI elements of some third party components are not identifiable by the automated tool you are using.

    Which of the following is the FIRST step that you take to investigate this issue?

    A. Verify the testability support with the providers of the third party components
    B. Verify whether the GUI identification depends on the browser.
    C. Adopt an approach that uses the coordinates of the GUI elements instead
    D. Verify whether naming standards for variables and have been defined for the current automation solution

  • Question 30:

    Your goal is to verify completeness, consistency and correct behavior of an automated test suite. The TAS has been proven to successfully install in the SUT environment. All the preliminary checks to verify the correct functioning of the automated test environment and test tool configuration, installation and setup have successfully completed.

    Which of the following is NOT a relevant check for achieving your goal in this scenario?

    A. Checking whether all the test cases contain the expected results
    B. Checking whether the post condition have been fulfilled for all the test cases
    C. Checking whether the loading of the TAS is repeatable in the SUT environment
    D. Checking whether all the test cases produce repeatable outcomes
