Discuss ISTQB CT-TAE Exam Topic 2 Question 36

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.

Wait, they haven’t changed the TAS at all? That’s wild!

Diane 11 months ago

I’d go with b and c, regression is key for new sprints!

Carli 11 months ago

Not sure about d, seems like a lot of work for little gain.

Bernardine 11 months ago

Totally agree, we need to keep the TAS updated.

Daryl 11 months ago

I think c and d are solid choices!

Wai 12 months ago

Consolidating functions sounds good, but I wonder if just focusing on the naming conventions is enough. I might lean towards d and e, but I'm not completely confident.

Nan 12 months ago

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think performing a full regression run in Sprint 1 could really highlight issues early on. So, b might be important too.

Matilda 12 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I think involving the test team could really help identify what improvements are needed. Maybe option d and e together?

Alva 1 year ago

I remember we discussed the importance of using the latest libraries to ensure compatibility, so option c seems like a good choice.

Maryann 1 year ago

I think the key here is to optimize the TAS for the new Scrum-based development process. Reviewing the GUI functions for consolidation and getting feedback from the test team on ease-of-use improvements seems like the most logical approach to me.

Lauran 1 year ago

Okay, I've got this. We need to ensure the new automation code is using the same naming conventions as the existing code, and then perform a full regression run in Sprint 1 to identify any improvements that could be made to the TAS for future sprints. That's the way to go.

Laticia 1 year ago

This question seems straightforward. I think reviewing the functions that act upon the GUI controls for possible consolidation and involving the test team to get their input on ease-of-use improvements would be the best approach.

Eden 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Should we be focusing on ensuring the TAS is using the latest libraries for the operating system or doing a full regression run in Sprint 1? I'm not sure which two steps would be best.

Tammy 1 year ago

Creating the actual advertisement content seems like the most important first step to me. You need to have the message and creative ready before you can do anything else.

Dorothy 1 year ago

I'm confident I know the answer to this one. Option C uses the `window.open()` method correctly to open a new browser window.

Dude, you gotta stay on top of those libraries. Can't have your TAS running on ancient software. c and d are the way to go.

Definitely, keeping up with the latest libraries is crucial for optimal performance.

Mary 2 years ago

Naming conventions? Really? I'd much rather focus on making the TAS user-friendly for the test team. d and e for the win!

↳ replying to Mary

I agree, focusing on user-friendly improvements is key. Let's go with d and e.

Alisha 2 years ago

I think option D and E would be the best steps to undertake during the review.

Valentin 2 years ago

Ah, the age-old battle between waterfall and Agile. A full regression in Sprint 1? Bold move, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off!

A) c and d

Merilyn 2 years ago

I agree with that. We should also review the functions that act upon the controls for the GUI for possible consolidation.

Salley 2 years ago

The move to Scrum is a big change, so reviewing the TAS for optimization is crucial. I think c and d are the best steps - keeping the libraries up-to-date and consolidating the GUI functions.
