NEW QUESTION # 42
Your organisation has successfully implemented a Test Automaton Solution (TAS) for a new project which has since been delivered into production via a number of sprints. A series of maintenance releases are now planned.
Some improvements were made to the Test Automation Architecture (TAA) as a result of feedback from the early sprints. The TAA improvements affected the TA, and the TAS was changed for the final sprint.
The new version of the TAS was generally well received but some performance and usability issues were encountered with the TAS which have yet to be addressed.
The test automation engineers supporting the maintenance releases must decide whether to use the enhanced TAS or the version that was used successfully for previous sprints.
What is the BEST action to take next?
- A. Perform an analysis of risks versus benefits for the enhanced TAS and then decide which version to use.
- B. Use the previous version because this was proven to work. It will be too risky to use the new version, with unresolved issues, for a live system.
- C. Use the new version because, despite some issues, it works, and the live system should not be tested using a different TAS.
- D. Use the new version of the TAS for the first maintenance release on a trial basis. If issues are encountered, switch to the previous version for later releases until the issues are resolved.
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 43
What are the four horizontal layers of the gTAA?

- D. Test generation, test execution, test definition, test APIs
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 44
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. Install the current TAS into a central repository so that other tests on different SUTs use the same version of the TAS.
- B. Check for correct connectivity to internal and external systems to ensure that the TAS has been installed and configured correctly for each SUT.
- C. Design a new TAS for each SUT, and manage each one through a dedicated automation support team.
- D. Develop a tool that keeps track of automation failures across the different SUTs and produces regular reports to stakeholders.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 45
Your goal is to verify completeness, consistency and correct behavior of an automated test suite. The TAS has been proven to successfully install in the SUT environment. All the preliminary checks to verify the correct functioning of the automated test environment and test tool configuration, installation and setup have successfully completed.
Which of the following is NOT a relevant check for achieving your goal in this scenario?
- A. Checking whether the post condition have been fulfilled for all the test cases
- B. Checking whether all the test cases contain the expected results
- C. Checking whether the loading of the TAS is repeatable in the SUT environment
- D. Checking whether all the test cases produce repeatable outcomes
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 46
You are implementing a TAS for a system that has been live for over three years, using a hybrid waterfall and agile lifecycle. Live updates are made on a monthly basis.
There is no test team, with developers designing and executing unit and integration tests with some degree of automation and business analysts designing and executing manual tests at the system level. No formal test process exists, although the system has proved relatively stable for most of the time.
Unfortunately, the last two monthly releases were problematic with regression defects found in production. Your priority is the automation of functional regression tests at the system level, the budget for this has been approved by project stakeholders.
The Business Analysts have identified which test cases are most suitable for regression. You must use the organisation's long standing commercial automation tool which has passed a proof of concept in the platform for the system in question.
Which of the following suitability criteria needs the MOST attention for the TAS?
- A. Technical planning in support of ROI analysis
- B. Maturity of the test process
- C. Compatibility and tool support
- D. Frequency of use.
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 47
You are the TAE for an Agile project which has six sprints for the current release. Sprint five is underway and the automated regression suite is due to start later today.
You have re-examined the results from the automated regression runs for the past four sprints. You notice that two test cases both reported a pass for sprints 1 and 4 but a fail for sprints 2 and 3. The failures have gone undetected and are therefore unexplained. Both test cases are closely coupled with other tests in the suite.
What course of action SHOULD you take?
- A. Remove the test cases from the regression suite and refer them to the test designer for manual testing for future sprints.
- B. Run the test cases manually now. If they still pass, keep them in the regression suite, if they fail perform root cause analysis.
- C. Quarantine the test cases, run the regression suite without them, and perform root cause analysis on the test cases in parallel.
- D. Run the regression suite as planned and see If the tests fail again if they do, determine the cause of failure.
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 48
You are working as a TAE for a company who are re-designing their website. The new website provides information for customers and there are two minor features being developed:
1) Request a newsletter
2) Ability to contact the organisation with a question or comment
The website must be "mobile friendly" and available on all major web browsers.
You have been tasked to provide an automated solution for web browsers only and to concentrate on the two minor features.
What would be a KEY challenge with automation in this context?
- A. A low level of intrusion is likely from use of existing UI elements, but depending on the solution this might be more complex than a higher level of intrusion.
- B. Because there is a high level of intrusion there may be many false alarms.
- C. Automation might not be possible on the mobile devices.
- D. The benefits of automation might not be achieved for many years due to the complexities of the SUT and automation solution.
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 49
Consider a TAS that exclusively uses the APIs of a SUT. To make this work, significant changes have been required to the SUT by adding a set of dedicated test interfaces to the APIs. All the automated tests will use these test interfaces when interacting with the SUT. Assume that you are currently verifying the correctness of the automated test environment and test tool setup.
Which of the following would you expect to be the MOST specific risk associated with this scenario?
- A. The connectivity from the TAS to the dedicated test interfaces will not work
- B. False alarms, that are unlikely to occur in the real world, will be observed during testing
- C. The process of configuring the TAS will be error-phone due to manual intervention
- D. The automated test cases will not contain the expected result
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 50
You have executed an automated test suite for a product that was released into production. Although all the tests passed, there was a major failure in production in an area that was covered well by your automated tests.
You have run the automated tests again and one of the tests is now failing and this is directly related to the production defect that was raised. You decide to run the automated test suite again on the same version of the SUT and the test now passes.
What SHOULD you do now to verify the validity of the automated tests?
- A. Check that the production defect that was reported was an actual defect
- B. Remove the intermittently failing test from the test suite and investigate the reason why the test sometimes passes and sometimes fails.
- C. Run the automated test suite again and if the test now passes - do nothing
- D. Reference: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/341396240_Intermittently_Failing_Tests_in_the_Embedded_Systems_Domain
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 51
You are testing a major enhancement to an air traffic control user interface. You have use of a sophisticated pre-production test environment, created specifically for large scale automated regression, performance and security testing. The window for regression testing is limited and must successfully conclude, with no major regressions remaining, before the non-functional testing starts.
You have been using the same version of the TAS for the last few releases, each time completing the automated regression test suite in a single overnight run. However, due to the latest enhancements for the SUT, you believe there is a risk that the test suite may no longer complete overnight and therefore delay performance and security testing.
Which option would be the BEST and MOST cost-efficient approach to mitigate this risk?
- A. Introduce better coding practices for the automation scripts, including coding guidelines, reviews and improved static analysis.
- B. Analyse the regression test suite and remove test coverage duplication and redundancy.
- C. Create a mirror of the pre-production test environment and split the regression test suite to run in parallel across the environments.
- D. Split the regression test suite into multiple parts, running in the environment across consecutive nights.
Answer: C
