ISTQB Exam CT-TAE Topic 1 Question 40 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CT-TAE exam
Question #: 40
Topic #: 1
[All CT-TAE Questions]

You are the TAE for an Agile project which has six sprints for the current release. Sprint five is underway and the automated regression suite is due to start later today.

You have re-examined the results from the automated regression runs for the past four sprints. You notice that two test cases both reported a pass for sprints 1 and 4 but a fail for sprints 2 and 3. The failures have gone undetected and are therefore unexplained. Both test cases are closely coupled with other tests in the suite.

What course of action SHOULD you take?

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if I should just run the regression suite as planned or try to investigate the failed tests first. Hmm, maybe I should quarantine those tests and look into them in parallel.

I'm a little confused on this one. I thought a default constructor could have up to 3 parameters, but now I'm second-guessing myself. I better review my notes before answering.

Ah, the classic 'pass-fail-pass-fail' conundrum. Option C gets my vote – let's isolate those troublemakers and see what's really going on. Maybe the tests are just feeling a bit... fickle today. We'll show them who's boss!

Tamesha: Let's run the regression suite without them and investigate the root cause. We'll solve this puzzle!

User 2: Sounds like a plan. We need to get to the bottom of this 'pass-fail-pass-fail' mystery.

I agree, let's quarantine those test cases and figure out what's causing the inconsistency.

Option B sounds tempting, but I don't think removing the tests completely is the right call. Better to quarantine them and dig into the root cause, as option C suggests. Gotta keep those pesky bugs in check!

I'm leaning towards option D. Running the test cases manually and then determining the next steps based on the results seems like a prudent approach. Wouldn't want to just remove them from the suite without fully understanding what's happening.

I would run the regression suite as planned and see if the tests fail again before making any changes.

I agree with Alisha, it's important to understand why the tests are failing.

Hmm, I think option C is the way to go. Quarantining the test cases and running the regression suite without them sounds like the best way to ensure the overall stability of the release while we figure out what's going on with those two tests.

Yeah, quarantining the test cases and doing root cause analysis separately is a good approach. Let's make sure we maintain the stability of the release.

I agree, option C seems like the most logical choice. We can't risk having those unexplained failures affecting the release.
