Question 1

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.

Answer: C

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

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 step that you take to investigate this issue?

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

B : Verify whether the GUI identification depends on the browser.

C : Adopt an approach that uses the coordinates of the GUI elements instead

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

Answer: A

Question 4

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 thesystem (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?

A : Maturity of the test process

B : Complexity to automate

C : Frequency of use

D : Sustainability of the automated environment

Answer: D

Question 5

You are implementing test automation for a project that has a business critical application A test execution tool is being used to run automated regression tests. The results from the test execution tool are very important and need to be 100?curate. You want to merge the test automation results with the test management system that also records the manual test results so that managers can make informed decisions about the progress quickly. Which layer of the gTAA will be used to ensure the proper reporting occurs and the interfaces to the test management system are handled?

A : The reporting layer

B : The logging layer

C : The execution layer

D : The adaptation layer
