ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester CTAL-TAE Questions & Answers

  • Question 21:

    You identified a suitable project to pilot an automation tool and planned and conduced a pilot. The pilot has been successful and tool Is being deployed within your organization, with a plan to increase tool use by the one project at a time. During this rollout some test processes will be changed slightly to gain additional benefits from using the tool. In the pilot project, a small set of manual tests were automated for the first time. You are currently monitoring the test automation efficiency and this reveals that the automation regime for the tests is not yet mature. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

    A. The approach used for deployed this tool is aligned to the standard success factor for deployment

    B. The pilot project should have been critical so that maximum benefits were delivered

    C. The target defined for the project was inappropriate, because the automation regime for the automated tests at the end of the pilot is not yet mature.

    D. The test process should be radically changed to gain additional benefits from using the tool.

  • Question 22:

    Consider a TAS that is going to be deployed for the first time. The TAS requires share resources and run it its own test environment. The infrastructure for the TAS has been created along with maintenance procedures. It is very unlikely the TAS will be required to work in other target Environments. There is a high-risk that when the TAS is deployed in its own test environment, a number of existing application will no longer work because of conflicts with the existing shared resources. Which of the following activities would you expect to be MOST effective at mitigating the risk associated with the first deployment of the TAS?

    A. Testing the TAS for application compatibility issues in the target environment

    B. Testing the TAS for its ability to be implemented in other target test environments.

    C. Testing the TAS for regressions due to optimization that fix non-functional issues.

    D. Testing the TAS for ITS ability to run a shared test environment

  • Question 23:

    Which of the following statements about the reuse of TAS artefacts is TRUE?

    A. Reusable TAS artefacts can include components (or parts of components) associated with different layers of the TAA

    B. To enable reuse of TAS artefacts, a good design for reuse is built into the TAA and to further action are needed during the TAS lifecycle

    C. Communications maintenance and improvements for reusing TAS artefacts are modify addressed during the design of the TAA

    D. Reusable TAS artifacts associated with the definition layer of the TAA include the adaptors to the SUT components and/or interfaces

  • Question 24:

    A regression test suite consist of 500 test cases which are all executed manually. The business case for a pilot project is based on the adoption of test automation using a commercial tool that will reduce the execution time by a factor of 90% for 100% of the tests in the regression test suite. The pilot project lasted one month ( as planned) and you are currently its results. At the end of the pilot project, 40% of the regression tests have been automated and their execution time has been reduce by 60%. Which of the following statements is TRUE in this scenario?

    A. The duration of the pilot project was too short 璱t should last unit the success factors are achieved

    B. The target defined for the business case is too accurate 璱t should not be measureable

    C. The project selected for the pilot is too critical 璱f should not be too critical or too trivial

    D. The target defined for the business case seems difficult to hit ?it should be realistic

  • Question 25:

    You are using a gTAA to create a TAS for a project. The TAS is aimed specifically at automating a suit of

    existing manual test cases for standalone desktop applications. All the interfaces between the TAS and

    SUT will be from the CUI of the application.

    Which of the following layers of the gTAA should you focus on for the TAS?

    A. The test Generation layer

    B. The Test Definition layer

    C. The Test Adaption layer

    D. The Test Execution layer

  • Question 26:

    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 27:

    You are currently designing the TAA of a TAS. You have been asked to adopt an approach for

    automatically generating and executing test cases from a model that defines the SUT. The SUT is a state-

    based and event-driven that is described by a finite-state machine and exposes its functionality via an API.

    The behavior of the SUT depends on hardware and communication links that can be unreliable.

    Which of the following aspects is MOST important when designing the TAA in this scenario?

    A. Looking for tools that allows direct denoting of exceptions and actions depending on the SUT events.

    B. Adopting a test definition strategy based on classification tree coverage for the test definition layer.

    C. Looking for tools that allow performing setup and teardown of the test suites and the SUT.

    D. Adopting a test definition strategy based on use case/exception case coverage for the definition layer.

  • Question 28:

    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 29:

    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 30:

    Which of the following statements BEST describe aspects of the SUT to consider when designing a TAA?

    A. All the interaction between SUT and TAS should be logged with the highest level of detail

    B. All the internal test interfaces of the SUT should be removed prior to the product release

    C. All the interface of the SUT affected by the tests should be controllable by the TAA

    D. All the external test interfaces of the SUT should be removed prior to the product release
