BCS TAE Exam - Topic 6 Question 43 Discussion

Consider a TAS deployed into production. The SUT is a web application and the test suite consists of a set of automated regression tests developed via GUI. A keyword-driven framework has been adopted for automating the regression tests. The tests are based on identification at low-levels of the web page components (e.g class indexes, tab sequence indexes and coordinates) in the next planned release the SUT will be subject to significant corrective maintenance (bug-fixes) and evolution (new features) Maintenance costs to update the test scripts should be as low as possible and the scripts must be highly reusable.Which of the following statements is most likely to be TRUE?
A) The keyword-driven framework is not suitable, it would be better to adopt a structured-scripting approach
B) False positive errors are likely to occur when running the automated tests on the new releases without modifying the test
C) The total execution time of the automated regression test suite will decrease for each planned release.
D) The keyword-driven framework introduces a level abstraction that is too high and makes it difficult what really happens

Wait, are we really expecting no false positives? That sounds risky!

I think we covered that maintaining tests can be tricky with significant changes in the SUT. So, I lean towards option B being the most likely true statement.

I recall that keyword-driven frameworks can add abstraction, but I’m not convinced that it makes it too difficult to understand what’s happening. Option D might be a bit extreme.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think we practiced a similar question where we talked about the execution time of test suites. I feel like it might not always decrease with each release, so option C seems questionable.

I remember discussing how keyword-driven frameworks can sometimes lead to false positives, especially if the underlying web components change. So, option B might be true.

The total execution time decreasing with each release seems unlikely to me. If the SUT is undergoing significant changes, I'd expect the test suite to need more updates, which could actually increase the overall execution time.

False positives are definitely a concern with the planned changes to the SUT. I'd want to make sure the tests are robust enough to handle the bug fixes and new features without breaking.

Hmm, I'm not sure. The question mentions that the tests are based on low-level identifiers, and a keyword-driven approach might add an extra layer of abstraction that could make it harder to deal with changes. I might lean more towards option A.

I think the keyword-driven framework is the way to go here. It should make the tests more reusable and easier to maintain, even with the planned changes to the SUT.

I'm a little confused by this question. What are the specific factors I need to weigh here? Is it just about the tradeoff between transportation costs and holding costs? Or are there other considerations I'm missing?

Okay, let's break this down step-by-step. The user has Add permission for the Colas node and Edit permission for the Diet Cola node. That should help guide my response.
