Question No. 1

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 been asked 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?

AMaturity of the test process

BComplexity to automate

CFrequency of use

DSustainability of the automated environment

Show Answer

Correct Answer: D

Question No. 2

You have been asked to determine a TAS for a new release of a SUT, test should be automated wherever. The new release will consist of 5 new interfaces and an amendment to 3 existing interfaces. The new and amended interface will be deliver incrementally in 3 sprints, each lasting 2 weeks.

What would be the BEST Test Automation Solution (TAS) design in this scenario?

AAutomate tests at both Component and System Level. Only do this automation once every interface has been fully developed or amended and manual testing has completed successfully.

BAutomate tests at one level only, System level. Use only the newly developed interfaces and do not create any customized interfaces/test hooks.

CAutomate the tests at two levels, Component and System level. Create customized hooks at Component level for interface not yet developed or amended. Only use the newly developed or amended interfaces to test at System level.

DAutomate a test at once level, component level, Create customized interface/test hooks for this level where the interface has not yet been developed or amended.

Correct Answer: A

Question No. 3

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

AChanging the scripting approach to data-driven scripting

BImplementing keywords with a higher level of granularity

CChanging the wait mechanism to explicit hard-coded waits

DEstablishing an error recovery process for TAS and SUT

Show Answer

Correct Answer: C

Question No. 4

You are executing the first test run of a test automation suite of 200 tests. All the relevant information related to the state of the SUT and to the automated test execution is stored in a small database. During the Automated test run you observe that the first 10 test pass, while an abnormal termination occurs when executing the 11th test. This test does not complete its execution and the overall execution of the suite is aborted. An immediate analysis of the abnormal termination is expected to be time consuming and you have been asked to produce a detailed report of the execution results for the first test run, as soon as possible.

What is the MOST important FIRST step to be taken immediately after the abnormal occurred when executing the 11th test?

ARe-run the test automation suite starting from the 12th test

BReturn the database to a consistent state that allows subsequent test to run

CTake a backup of the database in its current state. So It can be analyzed later

DRe-run the test automation suite starting from the 1st test.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: C

Question No. 5

A defect in a SUT has been resolved and validated by an automated defect re-test in the current release of the software. This retest has now been added to the automated regression test suite.

Which statement BEST describes a reason why this defect could re-occur in future releases?

AAutomated defect confirmation testing is not effective at confirming that the resolved defect will continue to work in future releases

BThe configuration management process does not properly control the synchronization between software archives

CThe automated regression test suite is not run consistently for future releases.

DThe automated regression test suite has a narrower scope of functionality
