Question1: 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?

Question2: 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?

Question3: 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.
In the 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 automationregimefor the tests is not yet mature.
Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Question4: Your goal is to verify completeness, consistency and correct behavior of an automated test suite. The TAS has been proven to successfully install in the SUTenvironment. All the preliminary checks to verify the correct functioning of the automated test environment and test tool configuration, installation and setup have successfully completed.
Which of the following is NOT a relevant check for achieving your goal in this scenario?

Question5: 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?

Question6: A project consists of distributed teams working in a 24-hour environment, where activities happen at all hours of the day. This project adopts a CI (Continuous Integration) process when developer check-in code and consists of automated activities that include generating a build and deploying it to a test environment.
Automated integration tests are run multiple times a day. The project have asked for a report containing the automation test results for every build, which must be available 24/7 to the project team.
Which of the following would be the BEST way to automatically provides this report?

Question7: 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?

Question8: What is NOT a factor in considering when you are asked to ensure an effective transition from manual to automated tests?

Question9: 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?

Question10: Which of the following statements about the reuse of TAS artefacts is TRUE?

Question11: Which of the following BEST describes why it is important to separate test definition from test execution in a TAA?

Question12: Consider a TAS deployed into production. The SUT is a web application and the test suite consists of a set of automated regression tests developed via GUI. A keyword-driven framework has been adopted for automating the regression tests. The tests are based on identification at low-levels of the web page components (e.g class indexes, tab sequence indexes and coordinates) in the next planned release the SUT will be subject to significant corrective maintenance (bug-fixes) and evolution (new features) Maintenance costs to update the test scripts should be as low as possible and the scripts must be highly reusable.
Which of the following statements is most likely to be TRUE?

Question13: Which of the following statements BEST describe aspects of the SUT to consider when designing a TAA?

Question14: Which of the following statements about the reuse of TAS artefacts is TRUE?

Question15: 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?

Question16: Which of the following statement about the implementation of automated regression testing is FALSE?

Question17: Which of the following BEST describes why it is important to separate test definition from test execution in a TAA?

Question18: As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be for several projects within your organization. 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 thatallows accessing different sets?
* Does the test automation tool have a large featureset, 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?

Question19: 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?

Question20: You are reviewing the testability of your SUT.
Which of the following BEST refers to the characteristic of OBSERVABILITY?

Question21: You are reviewing the testability of your SUT.
Which of the following BEST refers to the characteristic of OBSERVABILITY?
