Discuss ISQI CTAL-TAE Exam Topic 7 Question 7

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?

AThe keyword-driven framework is not suitable, it would be better to adopt a structured-scripting approach

BFalse positive errors are likely to occur when running the automated tests on the new releases without modifying the test

CThe total execution time of the automated regression test suite will decrease for each planned release.

DThe keyword-driven framework introduces a level abstraction that is too high and makes it difficult what really happens

Wait, are we sure about B? I feel like some tests might still pass.

Latia 12 months ago

D makes sense, too much abstraction can hide issues.

Malcom 12 months ago

C seems unlikely, execution time usually increases with new features.

Helga 12 months ago

Totally agree with A, structured scripting would be better here.

I think B is spot on, false positives are a real risk.

I recall that a high level of abstraction in keyword-driven frameworks can obscure what's happening under the hood, which might make debugging tougher.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the execution time might not necessarily decrease with each release, especially if new features are added.

I remember discussing how keyword-driven frameworks can sometimes lead to maintenance challenges, especially with significant changes in the SUT.

Afton 1 year ago

I think option B makes sense because if the tests are not updated, they might not align with the new features or bug fixes, leading to false positives.

Okay, I think I've got a good handle on this. The key is to look for the specific details about the error stack format and content.

I remember there was a practice question about fungibility. I believe ERC20 is fungible, meaning all those tokens are equal, while ERC721 is non-fungible with unique tokens.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The key elements are premeditated, politically motivated violence against civilians. I believe that matches the definition of terrorism.
