Discuss ISTQB CT-TAE Exam Topic 1 Question 69

Consider a TAS that is going to be deployed for the first time. The TAS requires share resources and run it its own test environment. The infrastructure for the TAS has been created along with maintenance procedures. It is very unlikely the TAS will be required to work in other target

Environments. There is a high-risk that when the TAS is deployed in its own test environment, a number of existing application will no longer work because of conflicts with the existing shared resources.

Which of the following activities would you expect to be MOST effective at mitigating the risk associated with the first deployment of the TAS?

ATesting the TAS for application compatibility issues in the target environment

BTesting the TAS for its ability to be implemented in other target test environments.

CTesting the TAS for regressions due to optimization that fix non-functional issues.

DTesting the TAS for ITS ability to run a shared test environment

But what about D? Shared environment testing is crucial too.

I agree, A makes sense. We need to avoid conflicts.

I think A is the best choice. Compatibility is key!

B) seems pointless. Why test for other environments when this one is the focus?

Jamal 2 months ago

Totally agree with A). We can't afford to break existing apps!

Florinda 2 months ago

Wait, are we really expecting it to work in a shared setup? Sounds risky!

I think D) makes more sense. Shared environments are tricky.

A) is definitely the way to go. Compatibility is key!

Testing for other target environments sounds like a good idea, but I think it might not be as critical in this case since it's unlikely to be deployed elsewhere.

Marylyn 3 months ago

I feel like we had a similar question about testing for regressions, but I can't recall if that was the main focus.

Rashad 3 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but option D seems relevant since the TAS is supposed to run in a shared environment.

I remember we discussed the importance of compatibility testing in class, so I think option A might be the best choice.
