BCS Exam TAE Topic 7 Question 48 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineer exam
Question #: 48
Topic #: 7
[All ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineer Questions]

Consider a TAS that exclusively uses the APIs of a SUT. To make this work, significant changes have been required to the SUT by adding a set of dedicated test interfaces to the APIs. All the automated tests will use these test interfaces when interacting with the SUT. Assume that you are currently verifying the correctness of the automated test environment and test tool setup.

Which of the following would you expect to be the MOST specific risk associated with this scenario?

I believe D) False alarms during testing could also be a significant risk, as it may lead to incorrect conclusions about the SUT's behavior.

I agree with Malcom. If the connectivity doesn't work, then the tests won't be able to interact with the SUT properly.

The process of configuring the TAS seems like a headache waiting to happen. Too much manual intervention is a recipe for disaster.

Haha, imagine if the test cases didn't have the expected results. That would be a real face-palm moment!

Well, at least they're not using a ouija board to configure the TAS. That would be even more error-prone!

I think the most specific risk would be A) The connectivity from the TAS to the dedicated test interfaces will not work.

Option D definitely seems the most relevant. These dedicated test interfaces could introduce some edge cases that don't reflect real-world scenarios.
