Question#1

Which of the following success factors for a test automation project is TRUE?

A. Automated tests must be designed to capture only the data that is strictly needed for comparing expected and actual results
B. The test cases to be automated first must always be selected based on the number of times a test will need to be run
C. The test cases to be automated must have a high dependency on particular data values
D. Automated tests that fail due to changes in the requirements of the SUT should be promptly fixed rather than disabled from the test suite

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 test ware 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

Question#3

A TAS uses a commercial test automation tool and the default logs generated by the inconsistent formats such as different types of messages (pass/fail steps, screenshots, warnings, etc.) To solve this issue some custom logging functions have been created from the test scripts, making it possible to log the different types of messages with the same format. However, this may cause a problem due to excessive size of the logs which can make it difficult to find the required information. Assume that all the default logs will be disabled when running the automated tests and that some tests will not generate excessively sized logs.
Which of the following represents the BEST suggestion for implementing the custom logging functions?

A. Implement the custom logging functions without saving timestamps
B. Implement the custom logging functions to support different levels of tracing
C. Implement the custom logging functions without saving stack traces
D. Implement the custom logging functions to redirect the logs to multiple files

Question#4

You have been asked todeterminea TAS for a new release of a SUT, test should be automatedwherever. The new release will consist of 5 new interfaces and an amendment to 3 existing interfaces. The new and amended interface will be deliver incrementally in 3 sprints, each lasting 2 weeks.
What would be the BEST Test Automation Solution (TAS) design in this scenario?

A. Automate tests at both Component and System Level. Only do this automation once every interface has been fully developed or amended and manual testing has completed successfully.
B. Automate tests at one level only, System level. Use only the newly developed interfaces and do not create any customized interfaces/test hooks.
C. Automate the tests at two levels, Component and System level. Create customized hooks at Component level for interface not yet developed or amended. Only use the newly developed or amended interfaces to test at System level.
D. Automate a test at once level, component level, Create customized interface/test hooks for this level where the interface has not yet been developed or amended.

Question#5

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
