Question 1

You are using a gTAA to create a TAS for a project. The TAS is aimed specifically at automatically generating and executing test cases based on a use-case modeling approach that uses UML as modeling language. All the interactions between TAS and SUT will occur only at API and GUI level.

Based only on the given information, which of the following components of the gTAA would you exclude from the TAS in this scenario?

A : The test reporting component of the test execution layer

B : The test model component of the test generation layer

C : The test execution (test engine) of the test execution layer

D : The CLI component of the test adaptation layer

Answer: D

Question 2

As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be used for managing several projects within your organization. Such projects will require the tool to work effectively and efficiently with SUTs in distributed environments. The test automation tool has also to interface with other test tools (test management tool and defect tracking tool) already in place. These test tools will be subjected to planned updates and their interface to the test automation tool could not work properly after these updates.

Based only on the given information, which of the following are the two least important concerns related to the evaluation of the test automation tool in this scenario? (Choose two.)

A : Is the test automation tool able to launch processes and execute test cases on multiple machines?

B : Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme that allows accessing different feature sets?

C : Is the test automation tool able to log the test results on multiple machines back to a central location?

D : Do the release notes for the planned updates specify the impacts on the interface with the test automation tool?

E : Does the test automation tool need to install specific libraries that could impact the SUT?

Answer: B,E

Question 3

Two years ago, you deployed a TAS that has been working well with the SUT. This TAS used test data replicated from production that consisted of various customer support contracts each with a particular setting that was being tested (such as standard response times, part replacement policy, etc.). Because these contracts never expired, the data could be used by the test automation with known expected results. A change has recently been made which causes the contracts to expire after 90 days, at which time they must be renewed with updated terms. Expired contracts cannot be used for testing.

You have decided the best way to handle this data change is to query the database for the appropriate contracts and then create a table of the contracts to be used by the test automation. In this way, the scripts will require only minimal changes and the solution will be more flexible.

Given this information, where should this change be implemented to provide the highest level of maintainability?

A : In the affected test automation scripts

B : In the SUT so that the data is retrieved and stored in the current SUT database

C : In the TAS to separate the data from the actual scripts

D : In the TAA so that any TAS instantiated from the TAA will inherit this capability

Answer: C

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 the testability support with the providers of the third party components

B : Verify whether the GUI identification depends on the browser.

C : Adopt an approach that uses the coordinates of the GUI elements instead

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

Answer: A

Question 5

You are in the pilot phase of a new TAS that has been created for an e-commerce project. One of the issues you have noted is that the test results are provided in a text document whereas the testers normally get the output in Excel. The output is used to generate charts and to track risk mitigation.

What is the preferable path to take at this point?

A : Change the TAS to support the current processes.

B : Change the current processes to use the output from the TAS.

C : Update both the TAS and the current processes to a more streamlined approach.

D : Gather the information manually and feed it into Excel to continue to produce the expected reports.
