Q15. 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?

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

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

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

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

Q16. Which of the following attributes should NOT be included in a test execution report associated with a suite of automated tests?

Summary of the test execution results

System/Application under test and its version

Defect clusters identified during test execution

Environment in which the tests have been executed

Q17. Consider A TAS for testing a desktop application via its GUI. All the test cases of the automated test suite contain the same identical sequences of steps at the beginning (to create the necessary objects when doing a preliminary configuration of the test environment and at the end (to remove everything created -specifically for the test itself during the preliminary configuration of the test environment). All automated test cases use the same set of assertion functions from a shared library, for verifying the values in the GUI fields (e.g text boxes).
What is the BEST recommendation for improving the TAS?

Implementing keywords with higher level of granularity

Improving the architecture of the application in order to improve its testability

Adopting a set of standard verification methods for use by all automated tests

Implementing standard setup and teardown functions at test case level

Q18. You are reviewing the testability of your SUT.
Which of the following BEST refers to the characteristic of OBSERVABILITY?

The ability of the SUTto perform its intended function for a specified period of time

The ability to exercise the SUT by entering inputs, triggering events and invoking methods

The ability of the SUT to prevent unauthorized access to its components or data.

The abilityto identify states, outputs, intermediate result and error messages in the SUT

Q19. Designing the System Under Test (SUT) for testability is important for a good test automation approach and can also benefit manual test execution.
Which of the following is NOT a consideration when designing for testability?

Observability: The SUT needs to provide interface that give insight into the system.

Re-useability: The code written for the SUT must be re-useable for other similar system.

Clearly defined architecture: The SUT Architecture needs to provide clear and understandable interfaces giving control and visibility on all test levels.

Control: the SUT needs to provide interfaces that can be used to perform actions on SUT.

Q20. As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be for several projects within your organization. The projects require that tool to work effectively and efficiently with SUT’s in distributed environments. The test automated tool also needs to interface with other existing test tools (test management tool and defect tracking tool.) The existing test tools subject to planned updates and their interface to the test automated tool may not work property after these updates.
Which of the following are the two LEAST important concerns related to the evaluation of the test automation in this scenario?
* Is the test automation tool able to launch processors and execute test cases on multiple machines in different environments?
* Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme thatallows accessing different sets?
* Does the test automation tool have a large featureset, but only part of the features will be sets?
* Do the release notes for the planned updates on existing specify the impacts on their interfaces to other tools?
Does the test automation tool need to install specific libraries that could impact the SUT?

A and C

A and E

B and E

C and D

Q21. What is NOT a factor in considering when you are asked to ensure an effective transition from manual to automated tests?

Complexity to automate the manual test cases

Correctness of test data and test cases

The look andfeel of the SUT

The controllability of the SUT

Q22. Consider a TAS associated to dynamically changing software frequent releases. Your goal is to determine the amount of effort required to maintain the automated tests of the regression test suite for each new release of the SUT.
What is the MOST important metric to collect to achieve your goal?

The code coverage achieved with the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT

The number of automated tests which fail because of a single software defect, for each new release of the SUT

The time it takes to execute all the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT.

The number of automated tests requiring maintenance, for each new release of the SUT.

Q23. A TAS uses a commercial test automation tool and the default logs generated by the inconsistent formats such as different types of messages (pass/fail steps, screenshots, warnings, etc.) To solve this issue some custom logging functions have been created from the test scripts, making it possible to log the different types of messages with the same format. However, this may cause a problem due to excessive size of the logs which can make it difficult to find the required information. Assume that all the default logs will be disabled when running the automated tests and that some tests will not generate excessively sized logs.
Which of the following represents the BEST suggestion for implementing the custom logging functions?

Implement the custom logging functions without saving timestamps

Implement the custom logging functions to support different levels of tracing

Implement the custom logging functions without saving stack traces

Implement the custom logging functions to redirect the logs to multiple files

Q24. Which of the following statements BEST describe aspects of the SUT to consider when designing a TAA?

All the interaction between SUT and TAS should be logged with the highest level of detail

All the internal test interfaces of the SUT should be removed prior to the product release

All the interface of the SUT affected by the tests should be controllable by the TAA

All the external test interfaces of the SUT should be removed prior to the product release

Q25. You have been asked to automate a set of functional tests at system Test level via the CLI of the SUT for the first release of a software system. The automated tests will be delivered to the learn in change of maintenance testing, who will use them for part of the regression testing. They have the following requirements.
1.The automated tests must be as fast and cheap to maintain as possible
2.The cost of adding new automated tests must be as low as possible
3.The automated tests must have a high level of independence from the tool itself Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable?

Data-driven scripting

Keyword-driven scripting

Linear scripting

Structure scripting

Q26. Which of the following attributes should NOT be included in a test execution report associated with a suite of automated tests?

Summary of the test execution results

System/Application under test and its version

Environment in which the tests have been executed

Q27. Which of the following statement about the implementation of automated regression testing is FALSE?

When automating regression tests, the structure of automated tests must always be the same as the corresponding manual tests

When automating regression tests, the corresponding manual tests should have already been executed to verify they operate correctly

When automating regression tests, the initialization stepsset the test preconditions should be automated wherever possible

When automating regression tests, consideration should be given to how much time would be saved by automation

Q28. Which of the following statements about the reuse of TAS artefacts is TRUE?

Reusable TAS artefacts can include components (or parts of components) associated with different layers of the TAA

To enable reuse of TAS artefacts, a good design for reuse is built into the TAA and to further action are needed during the TAS lifecycle

Communications maintenance and improvements for reusing TAS artefacts are modifyaddressed during the design of the TAA

Reusable TAS artifacts associated with the definition layer of the TAA include the adaptors to the SUT components and/or interfaces

Q29. Consider a TAS that uses a keyword-driven framework. The SUT is a web application and there is a large set of keywords available for writing the automated tests that relate to highly specific user actions linked directly to the GUI of the SUT. The automated test written with the keywords are statically analyzed by a custom tool which highlight’s repeated instances of identical sequence of keywords. The waiting mechanism implemented by the TAS for a webpage load is based on a synchronous sampling within a given timeout. The TAS allows checking a webpage load every seconds until a timeout value

Changing thescripting approach to data-driven scripting

Implementing keywords with a higher level of granularity

Changing the wait mechanism to explicit hard-coded waits

Establishing an error recovery process for TAS and SUT

Q30. The GUI of a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application has been delivered through internet Explorer with proprietary Active X and Java controls. This implementation enables rich client capabilities, but specific commercial automation tools are necessary to automate test cases at GUI of functional test cases. This is to demonstrate whether a small set of the commercial are able to properly recognize actions taken by a tester when interacting with GUI of the CRM application.
Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable in this scenario?

Data-driven scripting

Keyword-driven scripting

Linear scripting

Structure scripting

Q31. A web application was released into production one year ago, it has regular release which follow a V-model lifecycle and testing is well-established and fully integration into the development lifecycle. You have beenasked to implement a TAS for the regression test suite. The regression tests have been developed via the GUI and are expected to be run at least four times a month, for each planned release, for the whole operation solution life of the system (six years). Each screen of the GUI uses several third-party controls which are not compatible with the existing automation solutions. The environment for the automation will be stable, fully controllable and separated from other environments (development, staging, production).
What could be the MOST problematic for this TAS?

Maturity of the test process

Complexity to automate

Frequency ofuse

Sustainability of the automated environment

Q32. A SUT has an existing automated test suite.
Which of the following statements relating to the introduction of new features in the SUT is TRUE?

Automated tests are not affected by the introduction of a new feature and running them against the new SUT is a waste of effort

The introduction of a new feature could require updates or additions to the testware components

The test automation engineer should work with the business analysts to ensure the new feature is testable

It is generally more difficult to automate test cases for a new feature as the development has not yet started

The ratio of comments to executable statements in the SUT code.

The SUT code coverage provided by the execution of the regression test suite.

The defect density in the automation code of the regression test suite.

The ratio of commands to executable statements in the automation code of the regression test suite

Q35. Which of the following success factors for a test automation project is TRUE?

Automated tests must be designed to capture only the data that is strictly needed for comparing expected and actual results

The test cases to be automated first must always be selected based on the number of times a test will need to be run

The test cases to be automated must have a high dependency on particular data values

Automated tests that fail due to changes in the requirements of the SUT should be promptly fixed rather than disabled from the test suite

Q36. You are working on a TAS for standalone application. The automated tests are developed based on a automation framework that allows interaction with GUI elements using on object orientated API. The GUI elements include menus, buttons, radio buttons, text toolbars and their properties.
Whilst automating a test, you have discovered that the GUI elements of some third party components are not identifiable by the automated tool you are using.
Which of the following is the FIRST stepthat you take to investigate this issue?

Verify the testability support with the providers of the third party components

Verify whether the GUI identification depends on the browser.

Adopt an approach that uses the coordinates of the GUI elementsinstead

Verify whether naming standards for variables and have been defined for the current automation solution
