ISTQB CT-TAE Exam Actual Questions

Your organisation has successfully implemented a Test Automaton Solution (TAS) for a new project which has since been delivered into production via a number of sprints. A series of maintenance releases are now planned.

Some improvements were made to the Test Automation Architecture (TAA) as a result of feedback from the early sprints. The TAA improvements affected the TA, and the TAS was changed for the final sprint.

The new version of the TAS was generally well received but some performance and usability issues were encountered with the TAS which have yet to be addressed.

The test automation engineers supporting the maintenance releases must decide whether to use the enhanced TAS or the version that was used successfully for previous sprints.

What is the BEST action to take next?

What represents good practice when automating a manual regression test suite?

Show Answer Hide Answer

You have investigated a new tool which enables the modelling of the SUT and can then generate test cases either manually or automatically. You have convinced your managers that the best way forward is to conduct a pilot project for this tool. You need to select a project to use for the pilot. You have the choice of the following projects:

Project A: A two-year project that is critical to the business and is currently in the requirement phase. This project is for a new e-commerce web site and is mostly being developed ''in-house" although the payment system is being developed and delivered by a 3rd party provider.

Project B: A safety critical application for software to drive and park cars.

Project C: An upgrade to an important HR timesheet tracking application that will be available on a desktop and mobile application. This is a 1-month project developed in-house.

Project D The payment system from project A.

Which project would be BEST for the pilot?

Your project is transitioning from manual to automated testing. You have decided to implement a pilot project so that lessons learned can inform future time estimates and schedules.

Which two of the following represent the types of test cases that are MOST suited to a test automation pilot project?

a) High added value test cases that require little effort to automate.

b) Test that are run infrequently as these will be simpler to automate

c) Reliability test cases that can show added value soon

d) Technically challenging test cases to provide the best validation of manual test conversion

e) Tests that are least Important to the business as these are safer to trial

You have been asked to develop test automation for a legacy system that is going to go through a series of infrastructure migrations. The scripts will be used to verify basic functionality during these infrastructure changes Your Test Analysts have some programming skills and need

a solution that is simple and fast.

Maintainability of the scripts is not a consideration because no changes to the software are anticipated.

Which of the following is the BEST scripting approach in this situation?
