ISTQB CT-TAE Exam - Topic 6 Question 45 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CT-TAE exam
Question #: 45
Topic #: 6
[All CT-TAE Questions]

Consider the following layers of the gTAA structure:

a. Test generation layer

b. Test definition layer

c. Test execution layer

d. Test execution layer

Consider the following capabilities associated with these layers.

Acquire all the necessary resources before each test and release all after run, in order to avoid interdependences between test

Allow the automated test scripts on an abstract level to interact with components, configurations and interfaces of the SUT.

Design test directives that allow configuring the algorithms used to automatically produce the test cases a given model of the SUT.

Allow the definition and implementation of test cases and data by means of templates and/or guidelines.

Which of the following BEST matches each layer with the appropriate capability?

I feel like the capability about configuring algorithms fits the test generation layer, but I’m not completely confident in that choice.

I practiced a similar question where the test definition layer was linked to templates, so I might go with that for this one.

I think the test execution layer should be related to resource management, but I can't recall the exact capability.

I remember the test generation layer is about creating the tests, but I'm not sure which capability matches it best.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. I think the answer is option B - a-4, b-3, c-1, d-2.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The test generation layer is about automatically producing test cases, so that matches capability 4. The test definition layer is about defining and implementing test cases, so that's capability 3. Then the test execution layers are about acquiring/releasing resources and interacting with the SUT, which match capabilities 1 and 2.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between the test definition and test execution layers. I'll need to re-read that part carefully.

I'm pretty sure the 'Test execution layer' is just a fancy way of saying 'hit the 'run' button and pray'.

I'm just hoping the test doesn't have a 'Test the tester' layer. That could get a bit meta, don't you think?

Hmm, this is tricky. I think option D is the best match, with the Test generation layer acquiring resources and the Test execution layer allowing the automated test scripts to interact with the SUT.

Option C looks good to me. The Test generation layer should be able to design test directives, and the Test definition layer should allow the definition and implementation of test cases and data.
