EMT Practice Test

Question1: 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 writing the 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

Question2: 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 musthave a high level of independence from the tool itself Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable?

Question3: You are currently designing the TAA of a TAS. You have been asked to adopt an approach for automatically generating and executing test cases from a model that defines the SUT. The SUT is a state-based and event-driven that is described by a finite-state machine and exposes its functionality via an API. The behavior of the SUT depends on hardware and communication links that can be unreliable.
Which of the following aspects is MOST important when designing the TAA in this scenario?

Question4: The GUI of a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application has been delivered through internet Explorer with proprietary Active X and Java controls. This implementation enables rich client capabilities, but specific commercial automation tools are necessary to automate test cases at GUI of functional test cases. This is to demonstrate whether a small set of the commercial are able to properly recognize actions taken by a tester when interacting with GUI of the CRM application.
Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable in this scenario?

Question5: Which of the following statements does NOT describe good practice for maintaining the TAS?

Question6: You are executing the first test run of a test automation suite of 200 tests. All the relevant information related to the state of the SUT and to the automated test execution is stored in a small database. During the Automated test run you observe that the first 10 test pass, while an abnormal termination occurs when executing the
11thtest. This test does not complete its execution and the overall execution of thesuite is aborted. An immediate analysis of the abnormal termination is expected to be time consuming and you have been asked to produce a detailed report of the execution results for the first test run, as soon as possible.
What is the MOST important FIRST step to be taken immediately after the abnormal occurred when executing the 11thtest?

Question7: Which of the following is NOT an advantage of test automation?

Question8: 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?

Question9: A web application was released into production one year ago, it has regular release which follow a V-model lifecycle and testing is well-established and fully integration into the development lifecycle. You have beenasked to implement a TAS for the regression test suite. The regression tests have been developed via the GUI and are expected to be run at least four times a month, for each planned release, for the whole operation solution life of the system (six years). Each screen of the GUI uses several third-party controls which are not compatible with the existing automation solutions. The environment for the automation will be stable, fully controllable and separated from other environments (development, staging, production).
What could be the MOST problematic for this TAS?

Question10: A defect in a SUT has been resolved and validated by an automated defect re-test in the current release of the software. This retest has now been added to the automated regression test suite.
Which statement BEST describes a reason why this defect could re-occur in future releases?

Question11: Which of the following metrics could suggest, under certain condition that an automated regression test suite has NOT been updated for new functionalities added to the SUT?

Question12: Consider a TAS that isgoing to be deployed for the first time. The TAS requires share resources and run it its own test environment. The infrastructure for the TAS has been created along with maintenance procedures. It is very unlikely the TAS will be required to work in othertarget Environments. There is a high-risk that when the TAS is deployed in its own test environment, a number of existing application will no longer work because of conflicts with the existing shared resources.
Which of the following activities wouldyou expect to be MOST effective at mitigating the risk associated with the first deployment of the TAS?

Question13: Consider a TAS associated to dynamically changing software frequent releases. Your goal is todetermine 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?

Question14: Consider A TAS for testing a desktop 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 testenvironment 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 verifyingthe values in the GUI fields ( e.g text boxes).
What is the BEST recommendation for improving the TAS?
