BCS Exam TAE Topic 4 Question 39 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineer exam
Question #: 39
Topic #: 4
[All ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineer Questions]

You are executing the first test run of a test automation suite of 200 tests. All the relevant information related to the state of the SUT and to the automated test execution is stored in a small database. During the Automated test run you observe that the first 10 test pass, while an abnormal termination occurs when executing the 11th test. This test does not complete its execution and the overall execution of the suite is aborted. An immediate analysis of the abnormal termination is expected to be time consuming and you have been asked to produce a detailed report of the execution results for the first test run, as soon as possible.

What is the MOST important FIRST step to be taken immediately after the abnormal occurred when executing the 11th test?

In that case, we should return the database to a consistent state before continuing.

I think we should re-run the test suite starting from the 12th test.

But wouldn't it be better to re-run the test suite starting from the 12th test?
