Question 1

Which of the following BEST describes why it is important to separate test definition from test execution in a TAA?

A : It allows developing steps of the test process without being closely tied to the SUT interface.

B : It allow choosing different paradigms (e.g event-driven) for the interaction TAS and SUT

C : It allows specify test cases without being closely tied to the tool to run them against the SUT

D : It allows testers to find more defects on the SUT

Answer: D

Question 2

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?

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

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

C :

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

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

Answer: A

Question 3

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

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

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

C : When automating regression tests, the initialization steps set the test preconditions should be automated wherever possible

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

Answer: B

Question 4

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?

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

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

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

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