Discuss BCS TAE Exam Topic 11 Question 9

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?

AThe code coverage achieved with the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT

BThe number of automated tests which fail because of a single software defect, for each new release of the SUT

CThe time it takes to execute all the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT.

DThe number of automated tests requiring maintenance, for each new release of the SUT.

B could give insights on defects, but not sure it's the best metric.

Wait, are we really measuring effort just by D? Seems too simple.

C is useful too, but not the most critical.

Harris 12 months ago

I think A is more important. Coverage matters!

Levi 12 months ago

Definitely D! Maintenance is key for each release.

I lean towards option D as well, since knowing how many tests need maintenance seems key to managing effort for each release.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the time to execute tests (option C) could be important, but it might not directly reflect maintenance effort.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like code coverage (option A) is crucial too. It helps understand how much of the code is being tested.

I remember discussing the importance of tracking test maintenance, so I think option D might be the most relevant metric.

I think the key here is to remember the four main categories of employee benefits under IAS 19. Option C looks like it covers those categories - short-term, post-employment, long-term, and termination benefits.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between the options here. I'll need to review my notes on Cisco ACI and BUM traffic forwarding.

I'm not sure but I think if shareholders allow their rights to lapse, it might affect their wealth since they miss out on potential gains?
