Question No: 1

MultipleChoice

Your TAS has been running successfully on a Windows/GUI based SUT for some years. The SUT has undergone minimal change over the years to maintain business as usual, deploying six-monthly releases for minor enhancements and bug fixes using a waterfall lifecycle.

The TAS has not changed at all during this period. The current project for the SUT will be using the Scrum methodology to deliver a more modern, competitive, user interface. It is in the release planning stage with an agreed release backlog and set of sprints outlined.

The move from lengthy waterfall releases to shorter sprints has led you to conduct a review of the current TAS to make sure it is robust and fully optimised for the timescale challenges of the new project.

What two steps would be BEST to undertake during the review?

a) Ensure that new automation code is using the same naming conventions as existing code.

b) Perform a full regression run in Sprint 1 to identify what improvements could be made to the TAS for future sprints.

c) Ensure that the TAS is using the latest libraries for the operating system.

d) Review the functions that act upon the controls for the GUI for possible consolidation.

e) Involve the test team to see what ease-of-use improvements they would like to see made to the TAS.

Question No: 2

MultipleChoice

You have implemented a keyword-driven scripting framework, which uses a test execution tool to run the tests. This has been in use for the past year and all of the teams now use this framework as the standard approach for test execution.

The teams all work on different aspects of the SUT and they have all experienced significant benefits in the use of this scripting framework. However, on closer examination, you have discovered that there are numerous instances where the teams have the same functionality to test but are using different keywords.

One of your objectives for improvement is to create consistency among the teams.

What is the BEST way to handle this situation?

Options

AMove to a model-based approach to scripting where the models include the keywords.

BDo nothing, each team are working in isolation and they are all experiencing significant benefits in the way they are currently working.

CProvide each team with a set of guidelines and naming conventions for keywords.

DCreate a central library of keywords and associated definitions for each team to use.

Question No: 3

MultipleChoice

You are implementing test automation for a project that has a business critical application A test execution tool is being used to run automated regression tests. The results from the test execution tool are very important and need to be 100% accurate.

You want to merge the test automation results with the test management system that also records the manual test results so that managers can make informed decisions about the progress quickly.

Which layer of the gTAA will be used to ensure the proper reporting occurs and the interfaces to the test management system are handled?

Options

AThe reporting layer

BThe logging layer

CThe execution layer

DThe adaptation layer

Question No: 4

MultipleChoice

If you are tracking the frequency that a test automation code reports a defect that is not really a defect, what metric are you gathering?

Options

ATool scripting metrics

BAutomation code defect density

CTrend metrics

DThe number of false-fail results

Question No: 5

MultipleChoice

Which option best describes how a test execution report is likely to be used?

Options

ATo understand which test step caused the failure in a test case

BTo identify problematic areas of the SUT by keeping a history showing which test cases fail the most

CTo measure coverage of the test basis by a test suite

DTo record how a test case failure has been fixed

Question No: 6

MultipleChoice

What represents good practice when automating a manual regression test suite?

Options

ATest data shared between tests should, where feasible, be stored and accessed from a single source to avoid duplication or introduction of error.

BAll existing manual tests should be decomposed into several smaller automated tests to reduce functional overlap.

CRemove inter-dependencies between tests to reduce automation failures and costly error analysis.

DOnce a manual test has been automated, execute it immediately to Identify whether it operates correctly.

Question No: 7

MultipleChoice

When a company faces increased competition, what approach to product differentiation is recommended?

Options

AAll the external test interfaces of the SUT should be removed prior to the product release

BAll the internal test interfaces of the SUT should be removed prior to the product release

CIt reduces operational complexity

DWhen developing a TAS

Question No: 8

MultipleChoice

Which technical solution should be implemented for securing a cloud-based database containing sensitive customer information?

Options

AStore the execution result of the integration tests for the last build to a database (overwriting the results from the previous build), automatically create a test execution report for this build send It via e-mail to the project team

BImplement security policies

CStore the execution results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). Automatically create a test execution report for this build and send it via e-mail to the project team

DStore the code coverage results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). And automatically create a chart showing the trend in code coverage and send via email to the project team.
