EMT Practice Test

1. Question Content...

---

Question1: Assume that you are the TAE responsible for the correct functioning of a TAS, deployed in a test environment that consists of a few machines running the same version of the operating system. The TAS has been working and stable since its deployment, it has been used to run an automated test suite consisting of many similar automated test. The infrastructure team is planning to update the operating system on these machines by installing a new the service pack for security reasons. Since the vendor of the operating system assurance full backward compatibility, the infrastructure team assurance that there will be no impacts on the functioning of the TAS.
What is the BEST approach to confirm the correct functioning of the TAS in this scenario?

Question2: 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?

Question3: Which of the following statements does NOT describe good practice for maintaining the TAS?

Question4: You are reviewing the testability of your SUT.
Which of the following BEST refers to the characteristic of OBSERVABILITY?

Question5: You identified a suitable project to pilot an automation tool and planned and conduced a pilot. The pilot has been successful and tool Is being deployed within your organization, with a plan to increase tool use by the one project at a time. During this rollout some test processes will be changed slightly to gain additional benefits from using the tool.
Inthe pilot project, a small set of manual tests were automated for the first time. You are currently monitoring the test automation efficiency and this reveals that the automation regime for the tests is not yet mature.
Which of the following statements isTRUE?

Question6: Which of the following statements BEST describe aspects of the SUT to consider when designing a TAA?

Question7: Consider a TAS that uses a keyword-driven framework. The SUT is a web application and there is a large set of keywords available for writingthe automated tests that relate to highly specific user actions linked directly to the GUI of the SUT. The automated test written with the keywords are statically analyzed by a custom tool which highlight's repeated instances of identical sequence of keywords. The waiting mechanism implemented by the TAS for a webpage load is based on a synchronous sampling within a given timeout. The TAS allows checking a webpage load every seconds until a timeout value

Question8: Consider A TAS for testing adesktop application via its GUI. All the test cases of the automated test suite contain the same identical sequences of steps at the beginning (to create the necessary objects when doing a preliminary configuration of the test environment and at the end (to remove everything created -specifically for the test itself during the preliminary configuration of the test environment). All automated test cases use the same set of assertion functions from a shared library, for verifying the values in the GUI fields( e.g text boxes).
What is the BEST recommendation for improving the TAS?

Question9: Which of the following BEST describes why it is important to separate test definition from test execution in a TAA?

Question10: 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?

Question11: As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be for several projects within yourorganization. The projects require that tool to work effectively and efficiently with SUT's in distributed environments. The test automated tool also needs to interface with other existing test tools (test management tool and defect tracking tool.) The existing test tools subject to planned updates and their interface to the test automated tool may not work property after these updates.
Which of the following are the two LEAST important concerns related to the evaluation of the test automation in this scenario?
* Is the test automation tool able to launch processors and execute test cases on multiple machines in different environments?
* Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme that allows accessing different sets?
* Does the testautomation tool have a large feature set, but only part of the features will be sets?
* Do the release notes for the planned updates on existing specify the impacts on their interfaces to other tools?
Does the test automation tool need to install specific libraries that could impact the SUT?

Question12: 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?

Question13: Which of the following metrics could suggest, under certain condition that an automated regression test suite has NOT been updated fornew functionalities added to the SUT?
