If model-based testing has been selected for the overall test automation approach for a project, how does that influence the layers of the TAA?
A. All layers are used, but the test generation layer will be automated based on the defined model
B. There will be no need for the execution layer
C. No adaptation will be needed because the interfaces will be defined by the model
D. There will be no need to design the tests for the API because those will be covered by the model
You are implementing test automation for a project and you want to be able to generate test cases automatically using a series of test design tools which use a variety of test design techniques such as decision tables, pairwise testing and
boundary value analysis.
You also want to generate test data automatically which can then be used by the tests.
Initially these tests will be run manually to verify their correctness and ultimately you want to include them in the test execution tool so that they can run unattended.
Which layer of the gTAA will be used to support the specification of the test cases and preparation of the test data?
A. The generation layer
B. The definition layer
C. The execution layer
D. The adaptation layer
Consider a SUT that small run on multiple platform during the execution of automated test runs. In each test run an automated test suite needs to be executed, with the same version of the TAF, against the same version of the SUT of each platform. Each platform shall have its own dedicated test environment. Your goal is to implement a process as automated as possible ( i.e with minimal manual intervention) that allows implementing a consistent setup of the TAS across the multiple test environments.
Which two of the following aspects are MOST relevant for achieving your goal in this scenario?
A. The configuration of the TAS uses automated installation scripts
B. The TAF saves the logs needed to debug errors in XML format
C. Features of the TAF not used by the automated tests have been tested
D. All the automated test cases contain the expected results
E. The TAS components are under configuration management
A. A and E
B. B and C
C. B and D
D. A and D
You are working on a government system called "Making Tax Digital" or MTD for short. This system is being implemented to stop manual human input error and also to reduce fraudulent behaviour from companies when submitting their tax
and VAT returns.
The key concept is that registered companies will need to use government recommended 3rd party software for their accounts and book keeping. These 3rd party applications will have a direct interface into the government's main system for
transactions and submissions.
You have been using a test execution tool successfully on the project so far. and have implemented a basic "capture/replay" approach to scripting.
The management have been encouraged with the automation so far, but want the following objectives to be met:
*
Test cases added easily
*
Reduction in the amount of scripts and script duplication
*
Reduction in maintenance costs
Which scripting technique would be MOST suitable in this scenario in order to meet the objectives?
A.
Linear scripting
B.
Structured scripting
C.
Data-driven scripting
D.
Keyword-driven scripting
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.
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
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
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
The Test Automation Manager has asked you to provide a solution for collecting metrics from the TAS that measures code coverage every time the automated regression test pack is run. The metrics must be trend based to ensure that the scope of the regression test pack continues to reflect enhancements made to the SUT - coverage must not drop and should ideally increase. The solution must be as automated as possible to avoid unnecessary manual overheads and errors.
Which of the following approaches would BEST meet these requirements?
A. Test automation cannot measure code coverage for the SUT, only the code for the automation tools and scripts. The automated test cases would need to be run manually with a code coverage and reporting tool running in the background.
B. The automated testware would record overall code coverage for each run and add the figure to a new row in a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet. You would then present the spreadsheet to stakeholders so they could look for changes in coverage.
C. The automated testware would record overall code coverage for each run, export the data to a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet that automatically updates a trend analysis bar chart for you to distribute to stakeholders.
D. The automated testware would record the pass/fail rate of each regression test case, export the data to a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet that automatically updates a trend analysis success rate bar chart and emails it to stakeholders.
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
