ISTQB CT-TAE Exam - Topic 1 Question 13 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CT-TAE exam

Question #: 13
Topic #: 1

You are implementing test automation for a project and you want to be able to generate test cases automatically using a series of test design tools which use a variety of test design techniques such as decision tables, pairwise testing and boundary value analysis.

You also want to generate test data automatically which can then be used by the tests.

Initially these tests will be run manually to verify their correctness and ultimately you want to include them in the test execution tool so that they can run unattended.

Which layer of the gTAA will be used to support the specification of the test cases and preparation of the test data?

AThe generation layer

BThe definition layer

CThe execution layer

DThe adaptation layer

I’m surprised this is even a question; it’s pretty straightforward!

Wait, are we sure about the adaptation layer? Seems off.

The execution layer doesn't fit here at all.

I disagree, it sounds more like the definition layer to me.

I think it's definitely the generation layer.

I feel like the adaptation layer is more about modifying tests for different environments, so it probably isn't the answer.

I'm a bit confused; I thought the execution layer was for running tests, not for specifying them.

I remember practicing a question about the gTAA layers, and I think the generation layer is where test cases are created.

I think the definition layer might be the right choice since it deals with specifying test cases, but I'm not entirely sure.

I think I know the answer to this one. DataRaptor Turbo Extract would be great for retrieving the open cases with the "network issue" case type, and DataRaptor Load could be used to submit the data to the back office system. OmniScript seems like the right choice to trigger the email to the supervisor.

This looks like a tricky HSRP configuration issue. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about the HSRP version mismatch.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'm not super familiar with the Dynamics 365 development environment, so I'm not sure if option A is the best approach. Maybe option B, using Visual Studio, would be a safer bet?

I hear you, decision tables are the bane of every tester's existence. Maybe we can just roll a die to decide the test cases instead?

Oh man, I'm just hoping I don't have to write any decision tables. That's the worst part of this whole thing!

Hold on, I think the execution layer is where we actually run the tests, so that can't be the right answer. It's gotta be either the definition or the generation layer.

Yeah, the generation layer is definitely where we specify the test cases and prepare the test data.

I agree, the generation layer is responsible for creating the test cases and test data.

I think it's the generation layer because that's where we create the test cases and generate the test data.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The generation layer sounds like it could be the one we want, since we're talking about automatically generating test cases and test data.
