BCS Exam TAE Topic 3 Question 64 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's TAE exam

Question #: 64
Topic #: 3

[All TAE 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

Is it just me, or does Option A sound a bit like a buzzword salad? Anyway, I agree with Katheryn - Option D is the way to go.

Option A does sound a bit buzzwordy, but I think it could really help with improving the TAS.

Ha! Imagine if the developers just used a random number generator to decide which fields to test. That would be hilarious, but probably not the best approach. I'd go with Option D.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option B about improving the application's testability seems interesting, but it might be overkill for this scenario. Let's see what the others think.

I think Option C is the way to go. Adopting a set of standard verification methods for all the automated tests would ensure consistency and make it easier to maintain the test suite.

I personally think adopting a set of standard verification methods for use by all automated tests would be more beneficial in the long run.

Option D seems like the most straightforward solution. Implementing standard setup and teardown functions at the test case level would help reduce code duplication and make the tests more maintainable.
