BCS BCS-CTAL-TAE Online Questions & Answers

  • Question 71:

    Your functional regression test automation suite ran successfully for the first two sprints and no failures were encountered during the runs. The automation suite records the status of each test case as either 'pass' or 'fail' and has excellent

    recovery capability built in.

    For the third sprint, the TAS log reported several test cases with a status of 'fail'. You investigated each test case and found that most failures were due to a defect in one of the keyword scripts, rather than in the SUT. For those where the

    failure was in the SUT, defectreports were raised but several were returned by the developers asking for more information to enable them to reproduce the problem.

    Which additional log items SHOULD you add to the TAS that would BEST improve failure analysis and defect reporting for future sprints?

    a) Dynamic measurement information about the SUT.

    b) A status of TAS errorA. a and b
    B. d and e
    C. a and c
    D. b and e

  • Question 72:

    Which of the following is NOT a technical design consideration for a TAA?

    A. The number of users for the SUT
    B. Availability of interfaces for the SUT to be testable
    C. Standards and Legal requirements, e.g data privacy
    D. Data used by the SUT, e.g configuration, users

  • Question 73:

    You are evaluating several test modelling tools and are wanting to automatically generate test cases within the tool where many different combinations of input data are created.

    You are then wanting to export the test cases into a csv file which can then be read by a functional test execution tool using a data-driven or keyword-driven scripting method.

    You have investigated several tools and there is only one tool that provides all the necessary features defined by your team with the exception of the export facility. It does not provide an export into either .xls or .csv formats.

    What would be the BEST next step regarding the selection of this tool?

    A. Consider another tool that is more "fit for purpose" and has all the features required.
    B. Explore the possibility of creating your own export facility.
    C. Ask the vendor and use forums to see if a solution is available or going to be available in the future.
    D. Purchase this tool and generate the .csv file manually.

  • Question 74:

    A project consists of distributed teams working in a 24-hour environment, where activities happen at all hours of the day. This project adopts a CI (Continuous Integration) process when developer check-in code and consists of automated activities that include generating a build and deploying it to a test environment. Automated integration tests are run multiple times a day. The project have asked for a report containing the automation test results for every build, which must be available 24/7 to the project team.

    Which of the following would be the BEST way to automatically provides this report?

    A. Store the execution results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds), use this database to automatically update a dashboard containing the build history and test results accessible to the project team.
    B. Store the execution result of the integration tests for the last build to a database (overwriting the results from the previous build), automatically create a test execution report for this build send It via e-mail to the project team
    C. Store the execution results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). Automatically create a test execution report for this build and send it via e-mail to the project team
    D. Store the code coverage results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). And automatically create a chart showing the trend in code coverage and send via email to the project team.

  • Question 75:

    As the TAE, you are working with the organisation's Test Manager to decide which external metrics and which internal metrics should be gathered for the new TAS. Which of the following represents the BEST internal metric that would help measure the quality of the TAS and the number of problems associated with the TAS?

    A. The average maintenance cost to keep an automated test in sync with the SUT
    B. The number of hours of manual test effort saved by implementing a TAS
    C. A measure of defect density within the TAS automation code
    D. A measure of how many automated tests pass and fail

  • Question 76:

    A web application was released into production one year ago, it has regular release which follow a V-model lifecycle and testing is well-established and fully integration into the development lifecycle. You have been asked to implement a TAS for the regression test suite. The regression tests have been developed via the GUI and are expected to be run at least four times a month, for each planned release, for the whole operation solution life of thesystem (six years). Each screen of the GUI uses several third-party controls which are not compatible with the existing automation solutions. The environment for the automation will be stable, fully controllable and separated from other environments (development, staging, production).

    What could be the MOST problematic for this TAS?

    A. Maturity of the test process
    B. Complexity to automate
    C. Frequency of use
    D. Sustainability of the automated environment

  • Question 77:

    Which of the following statement about the implementation of automated regression testing is FALSE?

    A. When automating regression tests, the structure of automated tests must always be the same as the corresponding manual tests
    B. When automating regression tests, the corresponding manual tests should have already been executed to verify they operate correctly
    C. When automating regression tests, the initialization steps set the test preconditions should be automated wherever possible
    D. When automating regression tests, consideration should be given to how much time would be saved by automation

  • Question 78:

    You have executed an automated test suite for a product that was released into production. Although all the tests passed, there was a major failure in production in an area that was covered well by your automated tests.

    You have run the automated tests again and one of the tests is now failing and this is directly related to the production defect that was raised. You decide to run the automated test suite again on the same version of the SUT and the test now

    passes.

    What SHOULD you do now to verify the validity of the automated tests?

    A. Remove the intermittently failing test from the test suite and investigate the reason why the test sometimes passes and sometimes fails.
    B. Check that the production defect that was reported was an actual defect
    C. Run the automated test suite again and if the test now passes -do nothing

  • Question 79:

    You are working as a TAE for a company who have been using a web test execution tool for a number of years. The tool has been used successfully on ten web applications in the past.

    The company are developing a new web application which has a friendly User Interface, but the developers have used an object throughout the application which the tool is unable to recognise. As a result, you have no way of capturing the

    object or verifying the contents using the automation tool.

    What is the first thing you should do about this problem?

    A. See if the application can be run on a desktop and if the object can be recognised on the desktop by the tool.
    B. Investigate whether the object can be recognised by other test execution tools in the market
    C. Ask the developers to remove the object and replace it with some text fields
    D. Ask the developers if they can change the object to something that can be recognised by the tool
