Discuss ISTQB CT-TAE Exam Topic 2 Question 70

Consider a TAS that exclusively uses the APIs of a SUT. To make this work, significant changes have been required to the SUT by adding a set of dedicated test interfaces to the APIs. All the automated tests will use these test interfaces when interacting with the SUT. Assume that you are currently verifying the correctness of the automated test environment and test tool setup.

Which of the following would you expect to be the MOST specific risk associated with this scenario?

AThe connectivity from the TAS to the dedicated test interfaces will not work

BThe process of configuring the TAS will be error-phone due to manual intervention

CThe automated test cases will not contain the expected result

DFalse alarms, that are unlikely to occur in the real world, will be observed during testing

Suggested Answer: D

True, but A is more specific to the test setup.

Sommer 7 days ago

But B could be a problem too. Manual errors happen often.

Ruthann 12 days ago

I agree, A seems critical. If the connection fails, tests can't run.

Louisa 17 days ago

I think A is the biggest risk. Connectivity issues can halt everything.

Annett 23 days ago

Overall, A feels like the most critical risk to address first.

Nana 28 days ago

I see your point, but we can't ignore the potential for false positives.

Stefan 1 month ago

D is a risk, but it feels less immediate than A.

Desmond 1 month ago

I lean towards D. False alarms can mislead us about the SUT's performance.

Annett 1 month ago

True, but A is more direct. If the connection fails, nothing works.

Nana 2 months ago

But B is also concerning. Manual errors can sneak in during setup.

Stefan 2 months ago

Agreed, A seems most specific. If the TAS can't connect, tests fail.

Noel 2 months ago

I think option A is a big risk. Connectivity issues can halt everything.

Weldon 2 months ago

I’d go with A) too, those test interfaces need to be rock solid!

Belen 2 months ago

Wait, are we sure D) is even a real risk? Sounds a bit far-fetched.

Keva 2 months ago

C) is definitely a concern, but I think A) is the most specific risk.

Darnell 3 months ago

I disagree, B) is more likely with all that manual setup.

Antonio 3 months ago

A) seems like a big risk, connectivity issues can really mess things up.

Barb 3 months ago

False alarms seem less likely to be a primary risk, but I guess option D could still happen if the test interfaces aren't well designed.

Elli 3 months ago

I think I’ve seen practice questions that highlight the importance of expected results, so option C could definitely be a risk we need to consider.

Deandrea 3 months ago

I’m not sure, but I feel like option B might be a concern too, especially if there’s a lot of manual setup involved.

Martina 4 months ago

I remember we discussed how connectivity issues can really derail a testing process, so I think option A could be a major risk here.
