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
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
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 the system (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
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
Consider a TAS associated to dynamically changing software frequent releases. Your goal is to determine
the amount of effort required to maintain the automated tests of the regression test suite for each new
release of the SUT.
What is the MOST important metric to collect to achieve your goal?
A. The code coverage achieved with the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT
B. The number of automated tests which fail because of a single software defect, for each new release of the SUT
C. The time it takes to execute all the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT.
D. The number of automated tests requiring maintenance, for each new release of the SUT.
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.
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
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
Consider a TAS deployed into production. The SUT is a web application and the test suite consists of a set of automated regression tests developed via GUI. A keyword-driven framework has been adopted for automating the regression tests. The tests are based on identification at low-levels of the web page components (e.g class indexes, tab sequence indexes and coordinates) in the next planned release the SUT will be subject to significant corrective maintenance (bug-fixes) and evolution (new features) Maintenance costs to update the test scripts should be as low as possible and the scripts must be highly reusable. Which of the following statements is most likely to be TRUE?
A. The keyword-driven framework is not suitable, it would be better to adopt a structured-scripting approach
B. False positive errors are likely to occur when running the automated tests on the new releases without modifying the test
C. The total execution time of the automated regression test suite will decrease for each planned release.
D. The keyword-driven framework introduces a level abstraction that is too high and makes it difficult what really happens
Which of the following statements does NOT describe good practice for maintaining the TAS?
A. The TAS must run in the development environment because development and programming knowledge are required for its maintainability
B. The TAS must be under configuration management, along with the test suite, the testware artefacts and the test environment in which it runs
C. The TAS must separate the test scripts from the environment in which it runs and from the associated harnesses and artefacts
D. The TAS must consist of components that can be easily replaced without affecting the overall behavior of the TAS itself
