Discuss BCS TAE Exam Topic 7 Question 82

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 C makes sense too. Standard verification methods could reduce redundancy.

I agree, but option A could also help with clarity in test cases.

I think option D is the best. Standard setup and teardown would streamline the process.

Not sure if B is feasible right now, we need quick wins!

Kenneth 3 months ago

I think D is a solid choice, but A could also help with clarity.

A little surprised no one mentioned C, standardization is key!

Leonora 3 months ago

I disagree, B is more important for overall testability.

Dorcas 3 months ago

D seems like the best option to streamline the setup and teardown process.

I recall a similar question where we talked about granularity in test cases. A could be beneficial, but I think D might be more practical given the context.

I feel like adopting standard verification methods could streamline our tests. C might help reduce redundancy, but I’m not completely convinced it’s the best option.

Makeda 4 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I think improving the architecture of the application might be a long-term solution. B seems a bit too ambitious for just improving the TAS.

Shonda 4 months ago

I remember we discussed the importance of setup and teardown functions in our last practice session. It seems like D could be a good choice.
