BCS BCS-CTAL-TAE Online Questions & Answers

  • Question 41:

    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?

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

  • Question 42:

    When the SUT provides insight into the behaviour of the system, providing the users the with the status of the various actions performed so that they can check that expected behaviour equals actual behaviour, what is this called?

    A. Portability.
    B. Maintainability.
    C. Observability.
    D. Controllability.

  • Question 43:

    You have investigated a new tool which enables the modelling of the SUT and can then generate test cases either manually or automatically. You have convinced your managers that the best way forward is to conduct a pilot project for this

    tool. You need to select a project to use for the pilot. You have the choice of the following projects:

    Project A: A two-year project that is critical to the business and is currently in the requirement phase. This project is for a new e-commerce web site and is mostly being developed "in-house" although the payment system is being developed

    and delivered by a 3rd party provider.

    Project B: A safety critical application for software to drive and park cars.

    Project C: An upgrade to an important HR timesheet tracking application that will be available on a desktop and mobile application. This is a 1-month project developed in-house.

    Project D The payment system from project A.

    Which project would be BEST for the pilot?

    A. Project A because it is a large project and has high visibility and is in the requirement phase.
    B. Project B because it is a safety critical system and has high visibility.
    C. Project C because it is a short, low priority project but is important.
    D. Project D because it is a small part of a larger project and will help show the tool's capabilities.

  • Question 44:

    A TAS uses a commercial test automation tool and the default logs generated by the inconsistent formats such as different types of messages (pass/fail steps, screenshots,warnings, etc.) To solve this issue some custom logging functions have been created from the test scripts, making it possible to log the different types of messages with the same format. However, this may cause a problem due to excessive size of the logs which can make it difficult to find the required information. Assume that all the default logs will be disabled when running the automated tests and that some tests will not generate excessively sized logs.

    Which of the following represents the BEST suggestion for implementing the custom logging functions?

    A. Implement the custom logging functions without saving timestamps
    B. Implement the custom logging functions to support different levels of tracing
    C. Implement the custom logging functions without saving stack traces
    D. Implement the custom logging functions to redirect the logs to multiple files

  • Question 45:

    You are working as a TAE for a company who are re-designing their website. The new website provides information for customers and there are two minor features being developed:

    1) Request a newsletter

    2) Ability to contact the organisation with a question or comment

    The website must be "mobile friendly" and available on all major web browsers.

    You have been tasked to provide an automated solution for web browsers only and to concentrate on the two minor features.

    What would be a KEY challenge with automation in this context?

    A. A low level of intrusion is likely from use of existing UI elements, but depending on the solution this might be more complex than a higher level of intrusion.
    B. Because there is a high level of intrusion there may be many false alarms.
    C. Automation might not be possible on the mobile devices.
    D. The benefits of automation might not be achieved for many years due to the complexities of the SUT and automation solution.

  • Question 46:

    You are reviewing the testability of your SUT.

    Which of the following BEST refers to the characteristic of OBSERVABILITY?

    A. The ability of the SUT to perform its intended function for a specified period of time
    B. The ability to exercise the SUT by entering inputs, triggering events and invoking methods
    C. The ability of the SUT to prevent unauthorized access to its components or data.
    D. The ability to identify states, outputs, intermediate result and error messages in the SUT

  • Question 47:

    You have been asked to implement test automation for a project that is not meeting its deadlines. After further analysis you discover that the manual testers are not able to keep up with the new feature testing because the regression testing is taking 75% of their time. As a result, the new features are being released with many defects and customers are complaining about the quality.

    Given this information, what metric SHOULD you be tracking to show the value of test automation for this project?

    A. Percentage of code covered by the test automation.
    B. Equivalent Manual Test Effort for the automated tests.
    C. Number of defects found by test automation.
    D. Percentage of builds accepted/rejected by the automated tests.

  • Question 48:

    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 49:

    Which of the following attributes should NOT be included in a test execution report associated with a suite of automated tests?

    A. Summary of the test execution results
    B. System/Application under test and its version
    C. Defect clusters identified during test execution
    D. Environment in which the tests have been executed

  • Question 50:

    You are the TAE for an Agile project which has six sprints for the current release. Sprint five is underway and the automated regression suite is due to start later today.

    You have re-examined the results from the automated regression runs for the past four sprints. You notice that two test cases both reported a pass for sprints 1 and 4 but a fail for sprints 2 and 3. The failures have gone undetected and are

    therefore unexplained. Both test cases are closely coupled with other tests in the suite.

    What course of action SHOULD you take?

    A. Run the regression suite as planned and see If the tests fail again if they do, determine the cause of failure.
    B. Remove the test cases from the regression suite and refer them to the test designer for manual testing for future sprints.
    C. Quarantine the test cases, run the regression suite without them, and perform root cause analysis on the test cases in parallel.
    D. Run the test cases manually now. If they still pass, keep them in the regression suite, if they fail perform root cause analysis.
