Questions # 1:

Consider a TAS deployed into production. The SUT is aweb 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?

Options:

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

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

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

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

Answer

Questions # 2:

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 11thtest. This test does not complete its execution and the overall execution of thesuite 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 11thtest?

Options:

Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 12thtest

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

Take a backup of thedatabase in its current state. So It can be analyzed later

Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 1sttest.

Answer

Questions # 3:

Which of the following statements does NOT describe good practice for maintaining the TAS?

Options:

The TAS must run in the development environment because development and programming knowledge are required for its maintainability

The TAS must be under configuration management, along with the test suite, the testware artefacts and the test environment in which it runs

The TAS must separate the test scripts fromthe environment in which it runs and from the associated harnesses and artefacts

The TAS must consist of components that can be easily replaced without affecting the overall behavior of the TAS itself

Answer

Questions # 4:

A regression test suite consist of 500 test cases which are all executed manually. The business case for a pilot project is based on the adoption of test automation using a commercial tool that will reduce the execution time by a factor of 90% for 100% of the tests in the regression test suite. The pilot project lasted one month ( as planned) and you are currently its results. At the end of the pilot project, 40% of the regression tests have been automated and their execution time has been reduce by 60%.

Which of the following statements is TRUE in this scenario?

Options:

The duration of the pilot project was too short –it should last unit the success factors are achieved

The target defined for the business case is too accurate –it should not be measureable

The project selected for the pilot is too critical –if should not be too critical or too trivial

The target defined for the business case seems difficult to hit – it should be realistic

Answer

Questions # 5:

You are reviewing the testability of your SUT.

Which of the following BEST refers to the characteristic of OBSERVABILITY?

Options:

The ability of the SUTto perform its intended function for a specified period of time

The ability to exercise the SUT by entering inputs, triggering events and invoking methods

The ability of the SUT to prevent unauthorized access to its components or data.

The abilityto identify states, outputs, intermediate result and error messages in the SUT

Answer

Questions # 6:

Which of the following is NOT an advantage of test automation?

Options:

The ability to perform tests which would be difficult orimpossible to execute manually

The ability to run more tests in less time and therefore to make it possible to run them more often

The ability to find more defects with the same tests, compared to executing the same test manually

The ability to enable a better use of skilled testers by freeing them from repetitive and boring tasks

Answer

Questions # 7:

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

Options:

When automating regression tests, the structure of automated tests mustalways be the same as the corresponding manual tests

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

When automating regression tests, theinitialization steps set the test preconditions should be automated wherever possible

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

Answer

Questions # 8:

Consider a SUT that small run on multiple platform during the execution of automated test runs. In each test run an automated test suite needs to be executed, with the same version of the TAF, against the sameversion of the SUT of each platform. Each platform shall have its own dedicated test environment. Your goal is to implement a process as automated as possible ( i.e with minimal manual intervention) that allows implementing a consistent setup of the TAS across the multiple test environments.

Which two of the following aspects are MOST relevant for achieving your goal in this scenario?

The configuration of the TAS uses automated installation scripts

The TAF saves the logs needed to debug errors in XML format

C) Features of the TAF not used by the automated tests have been tested

D) All the automated test cases contain the expected results

E) The TAS components are under configuration management

Options:

A and e

B and c

B and d

A and d

Answer

Questions # 9:

A project consists of distributed teams working in a 24-hour environment, where activities happen at all hours of the day. This project adopts a CI (Continuous Integration) process when developer check-in code and consists of automated activities that include generating a build and deploying it to a test environment. Automated integration tests are run multiple times a day. The project have asked for a report containing the automation test results for every build, which must be available 24/7 to the project team.

Which of the following would be the BEST way to automatically provides this report?

Options:

Store the execution results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds), use this database to automatically update a dashboard containing the build history and test results accessible to the project team.

Store the execution result of theintegration tests for the last build to a database (overwriting the results from the previous build), automatically create a test execution report for this build send It via e-mail to the project team

Store the execution results of the integration testsfor the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). Automatically create a test execution report for this build and send it via e-mail to the project team

Store the code coverage results of the integration testsfor the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). And automatically create a chart showing the trend in code coverage and send via email to the project team.

Answer

Questions # 10:

Consider the following layers of the gTAA structure:

a. Test generation layer

b. Test definition layer

c. Test execution layer

d. Test execution layer

Consider the following capabilities associated with these layers.

Acquire all thenecessary resources before each test and release all after run, in order to avoid interdependences between test

Allow the automated test scripts on an abstract level to interact with components, configurations and interfaces of the SUT.

Design test directives that allow configuring the algorithms used to automatically produce the test cases a given model of the SUT.

Allow the definition and implementation of test cases and data by means of templates and/or guidelines.
