You are working as a TAE for a company who have been using a web test execution tool for a number of years. The tool has been used successfully on ten web applications in the past.

The company are developing a new web application which has a friendly User Interface, but the developers have used an object throughout the application which the tool is unable to recognise. As a result, you have no way of capturing the

object or verifying the contents using the automation tool.

What is the first thing you should do about this problem?

A. See if the application can be run on a desktop and if the object can be recognised on the desktop by the tool.

B. Investigate whether the object can be recognised by other test execution tools in the market

C. Ask the developers to remove the object and replace it with some text fields

D. Ask the developers if they can change the object to something that can be recognised by the tool

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 same version 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?

A. The configuration of the TAS uses automated installation scripts

B. 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

A. A and E

B. B and C

C. B and D

D. A and D

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. Data-driven scripting

B. Keyword-driven scripting

C. Linear scripting

D. Structure scripting

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

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. Create a mirror of the pre-production test environment and split the regression test suite to run in parallel across the environments.

B. Split the regression test suite into multiple parts, running in the environment across consecutive nights.

C. Analyse the regression test suite and remove test coverage duplication and redundancy.

D. Introduce better coding practices for the automation scripts, including coding guidelines, reviews and improved static analysis.
