ISTQB CT-TAE Exam - Topic 1 Question 68 Discussion

A web application was released into production one year ago, it has regular release which follow a V-model lifecycle and testing is well-established and fully integration into the development lifecycle. You have been asked to implement a TAS for the regression test suite. The regression tests have been developed via the GUI and are expected to be run at least four times a month, for each planned release, for the whole operation solution life of the system (six years). Each screen of the GUI uses several third-party controls which are not compatible with the existing automation solutions. The environment for the automation will be stable, fully controllable and separated from other environments (development, staging, production).What could be the MOST problematic for this TAS?
D) Sustainability of the automated environment
A) Maturity of the test process
B) Complexity to automate
C) Frequency of use

The maturity of the test process seems important, but I wonder if it’s really the most problematic factor in this case.

I feel like the sustainability of the automated environment might be tricky too, especially if we need to maintain it over six years.

I remember a similar question where the frequency of use was highlighted as a concern. Running tests four times a month sounds like a lot!

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the complexity to automate could be a big issue since there are third-party controls involved.
