Question 2

You have been asked to automate a set of functional tests at system Test level via the CLI of the SUT for the first release of a software system. The automated tests will be delivered to the learn in change of maintenance testing, who will use them for part of the regression testing. They have the following requirements.
1. The automated tests must be as fast and cheap to maintain as possible
2. The cost of adding new automated tests must be as low as possible
3. The automated tests must have a high level of independence from the tool itself Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable?

A. Linear scripting

B. Data-driven scripting

C. Keyword-driven scripting

D. Structure scripting

Question 3

A release candidate of a SUT, after being fully integrated with all other necessary systems, has successfully passed all required functional tests (90% were automated tests and 10% were manual tests). Now, it is necessary to perform reliability tests aimed at evaluating whether, under certain conditions, that release will be able to guarantee an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) in the production environment higher than a certain threshold (expressed in CPU time). Which of the following test environments is BEST suited to perform these reliability tests?

A. Local development environment

B. Integration environment

C. Build environment

D. Preproduction environment

Question 4

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 whether the GUI identification depends on the browser.

B. Adopt an approach that uses the coordinates of the GUI elements instead

C. Verify the testability support with the providers of the third party components

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

Question 5

Which of the following practices can be used to specify the active (i.e., actually available) features for each release of the SUT and determine the corresponding automated tests that must be executed for a given release?

A. The use of feature files

B. The use of feature toggles

C. Feature-driven development

D. Test-driven development

Question 6

Consider a TAS associated to dynamically changing software frequent releases. Your goal is to determine the amount of effort required to maintain the automated tests of the regression test suite for each new release of the SUT.
What is the MOST important metric to collect to achieve your goal?

A. The time it takes to execute all the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT.

B. The code coverage achieved with the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT

C. The number of automated tests which fail because of a single software defect, for each new release of the SUT

D. The number of automated tests requiring maintenance, for each new release of the SUT.

Question 7

In a first possible implementation, the automated test scripts within a suite locate and interact with elements of a web UI indirectly through the browsers using browser-specific drivers and APIs, provided by an automated test tool used as part of the TAS. In an alternative implementation, these test scripts locate and interact with elements of the same web UI directly at the HTML level by accessing the DOM (Document Object Model) and internal JavaScript code. The first possible implementation:

A. Has the same level of intrusion as the alternative implementation, and therefore the risk of test scripts producing false positives is the same in both cases

B. Has a higher level of intrusion than the alternative implementation, and therefore its test scripts are less likely to produce false positives

C. Has a lower level of intrusion than the alternative implementation, and therefore its test scripts are more likely to produce false positives

D. Has a lower level of intrusion than the alternative implementation, and therefore its test scripts are less likely to produce false positives

Question 8

To improve the maintainability of test automation code, it is recommended to adopt design principles and design patterns that allow the code to be structured into:

A. Highly coupled and highly cohesive modules

B. Loosely coupled and highly cohesive modules

C. Loosely coupled and loosely cohesive modules

D. Highly coupled and loosely cohesive modules

Question 9

(Which of the following statements about how test automation is applied across different software development lifecycle models is TRUE?)

A. In Agile software development, automated regression test suites sometimes grow so large that they can become difficult to maintain, and thus, it becomes crucial to invest in test automation at multiple test levels

B. Unlike Agile software development, where automated unit tests are written by developers, often in a test-first fashion, in a V-model, automated unit tests are written by testers as part of unit testing

C. In a Waterfall model, automated tests are usually executed only during the last phase of the development lifecycle, but their implementation occurs in the early stages

D. In Agile software development, regardless of context (e.g., type of application to be developed, tools available), test automation must be based on the test automation distribution known as the test pyramid model
