BCS TAE Exam - Topic 1 Question 51 Discussion

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?
D) The target defined for the business case seems difficult to hit -- it should be realistic
A) The duration of the pilot project was too short --it should last unit the success factors are achieved
B) The target defined for the business case is too accurate --it should not be measureable
C) The project selected for the pilot is too critical --if should not be too critical or too trivial

Disagree, the project should be critical to test automation's effectiveness!

I vaguely remember that targets should be measurable, but I'm not sure if saying they shouldn't be is the right approach in this case.

I feel like the pilot project being too critical could lead to issues, but I can't recall if that's the main point they were trying to make.

I think we practiced a question about setting realistic targets in business cases, and this one seems a bit ambitious given the results.

I remember discussing how pilot projects should have clear success criteria, but I'm not sure if the duration was the main issue here.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The key seems to be evaluating the pilot project outcomes and whether the original business case is achievable.

Hmm, adding a condition containing approval hierarchy seems like it could be relevant, but I'm not entirely sure how that would resolve the CustomerCs issue. I'll need to think about the specific context and requirements.

I don't know, the pilot project seems to be on the right track. 40% automation is a solid start, and they can always adjust the targets for the full project. Option A might be a bit too harsh.

Haha, the business case sounds like something straight out of a management consultant's playbook. 'Reduce by 90% for 100% of the tests' - that's some serious marketing jargon right there.

Agreed. The business case appears to be overly optimistic. A 60% reduction in execution time for the automated tests is still a good start, but the overall target is too aggressive.
