ISTQB Exam CT-TAE Topic 6 Question 34 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CT-TAE exam

Question #: 34
Topic #: 6

Consider a TAS deployed into production. The SUT is a web application and the test suite consists of a set of automated regression tests developed via GUI. A keyword-driven framework has been adopted for automating the regression tests. The tests are based on identification at low-levels of the web page components (e.g class indexes, tab sequence indexes and coordinates) in the next planned release the SUT will be subject to significant corrective maintenance (bug-fixes) and evolution (new features) Maintenance costs to update the test scripts should be as low as possible and the scripts must be highly reusable.

Which of the following statements is most likely to be TRUE?

AThe keyword-driven framework is not suitable, it would be better to adopt a structured-scripting approach

BFalse positive errors are likely to occur when running the automated tests on the new releases without modifying the test

CThe total execution time of the automated regression test suite will decrease for each planned release.

DThe keyword-driven framework introduces a level abstraction that is too high and makes it difficult what really happens

I think option B is most likely to be true. False positive errors can occur when running the tests without modifying them for new releases.
