Question 1

As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be used for managing several projects within your organization. Such projects will require the tool to work effectively and efficiently with SUTs in distributed environments. The test automation tool has also to interface with other test tools (test management tool and defect tracking tool) already in place. These test tools will be subjected to planned updates and their interface to the test automation tool could not work properly after these updates.

Based only on the given information, which of the following are the two least important concerns related to the evaluation of the test automation tool in this scenario? (Choose two.)

A : Is the test automation tool able to launch processes and execute test cases on multiple machines?

B : Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme that allows accessing different feature sets?

C : Is the test automation tool able to log the test results on multiple machines back to a central location?

D : Do the release notes for the planned updates specify the impacts on the interface with the test automation tool?

E : Does the test automation tool need to install specific libraries that could impact the SUT?

Answer: B,E

Question 2

Which of the following is a characteristic of a SUT that has been designed for testability?

A : Interfaces that could be used to change or control the SUT are protected and not accessible.

B : Interfaces between components are masked so that results can be viewed but inputs cannot be altered.

C : Interfaces in the form of stubs are included in the production code that can be used by the test automation to exercise error states.

D : Interfaces are provided that allow the test automation to check the system behavior that results from a tested stimulus.

Answer: D

Question 3

Your company is new to test automation and as TAE. you have designed a TAS which successfully supports the SUT for the current project. There are other systems currently in operation which have been tested manually and more systems are planned over the coming years. Based on this success, your company requires test automation be rolled out to other current and future SUTs with consistency being a key objective. Which of the following is the BEST way to achieve that?

A : Design a new TAS for each SUT, and manage each one through a dedicated automation support team.

B : Install the current TAS into a central repository so that other tests on different SUTs use the same version of the TAS.

C : Check for correct connectivity to internal and external systems to ensure that the TAS has been installed and configured correctly for each SUT.

D : Develop a tool that keeps track of automation failures across the different SUTs and produces regular reports to stakeholders.

Answer: B

Question 4

You are using a gTAA to create a TAS for a project. The TAS is aimed specifically at automatically generating and executing test cases based on a use-case modeling approach that uses UML as modeling language. All the interactions between TAS and SUT will occur only at API and GUI level.

Based only on the given information, which of the following components of the gTAA would you exclude from the TAS in this scenario?

A : The test reporting component of the test execution layer

B : The test model component of the test generation layer

C : The test execution (test engine) of the test execution layer

D : The CLI component of the test adaptation layer

Answer: D

Question 5

You are in the pilot phase of a new TAS that has been created for an e-commerce project. One of the issues you have noted is that the test results are provided in a text document whereas the testers normally get the output in Excel. The output is used to generate charts and to track risk mitigation.

What is the preferable path to take at this point?

A : Change the TAS to support the current processes.

B : Change the current processes to use the output from the TAS.

C : Update both the TAS and the current processes to a more streamlined approach.

D : Gather the information manually and feed it into Excel to continue to produce the expected reports.
