Topic #: 2

[All ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineer Questions]

Consider A TAS for testing a desktop application via its GUI. All the test cases of the automated test suite contain the same identical sequences of steps at the beginning (to create the necessary objects when doing a preliminary configuration of the test environment and at the end (to remove everything created --specifically for the test itself during the preliminary configuration of the test environment). All automated test cases use the same set of assertion functions from a shared library, for verifying the values in the GUI fields ( e.g text boxes).

What is the BEST recommendation for improving the TAS?

AImplementing keywords with higher level of granularity

BImproving the architecture of the application in order to improve its testability

CAdopting a set of standard verification methods for use by all automated tests

DImplementing standard setup and teardown functions at test case level

Option B? Really? Improving the app's architecture? That's like putting lipstick on a pig. Just use Option D and move on with your life.

I'm going with Option C. Adopting a set of standard verification methods for all tests will ensure consistency and reduce errors. It's the most comprehensive solution.

I agree with Chery. Option D is the clear winner here. Who wants to write the same code over and over again in each test case?

Option D is the way to go. Implementing standard setup and teardown functions at the test case level will make the test suite much more maintainable and less redundant.
