NO.21 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 been asked 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?

Maturity of the test process

Complexity to automate

Frequency of use

Sustainability of the automated environment

NO.22 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?

Implementing keywords with higher level of granularity

Improving the architecture of the application in order to improve its testability

Adopting a set of standard verification methods for use by all automated tests

Implementing standard setup and teardown functions at test case level

NO.23 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?

The ratio of comments to executable statements in the SUT code.

The SUT code coverage provided by the execution of the regression test suite.

The defect density in the automation code of the regression test suite.

The ratio of commands to executable statements in the automation code of the regression test suite

NO.24 Which of the following attributes should NOT be included in a test execution report associated with a suite of automated tests?

Summary of the test execution results

System/Application under test and its version

Defect clusters identified during test execution

Environment in which the tests have been executed

NO.25 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?
* The configuration of the TAS uses automated installation scripts
* 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 and d

NO.26 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?

Automated defect confirmation testing is not effective at confirming that the resolved defect will continue to work in future releases

The configuration management process does not properly control the synchronization between software archives

The automated regression test suite is not run consistently for future releases.

The automated regression test suite has a narrower scope of functionality

NO.27 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?

The approach used for deployed this tool is aligned to the standard success factor for deployment

The pilot project should have been critical so that maximum benefits were delivered

The target defined for the project was inappropriate, because the automation regime for the automated tests at the end of the pilot is not yet mature.

The test process should be radically changed to gain additional benefits from using the tool.

NO.28 Consider the followingexample of TAS metrics.
Time to execute automated tests
Speed and efficiency of TAS components
Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A and B are both internal TAS metrics

A is an internal TAS metric and B is an external TAS metric

A and b are both external TAS metric

A is and external TAS metric and b is an internal TAS metric

NO.29 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

Changing the scripting approach to data-driven scripting

Implementing keywords with a higher level of granularity

Changing the wait mechanism to explicit hard-coded waits

Establishing an error recovery process for TAS and SUT

NO.30 Which of the following statement about the implementation of automated regression testing is FALSE?

When automating regression tests, the structure of automated tests must always be thesame as the corresponding manual tests

When automating regression tests, the corresponding manual tests should have already been executed to verify they operate correctly

When automating regression tests, the initialization steps set the testpreconditions should be automated wherever possible

When automating regression tests, consideration should be given to how much time would be saved by automation

NO.31 You are currently designing the TAA of a TAS. You have been asked to adopt an approach forautomatically 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 hardwareand communication links that can be unreliable.
Which of the following aspects is MOST important when designing the TAA in this scenario?

Looking for tools that allows direct denoting of exceptions and actions depending on the SUT events.

Adopting a test definition strategy based on classification tree coverage for the test definition layer.

Looking for tools that allow performing setup and teardown of the test suites and the SUT.

Adopting a test definition strategy based on use case/exception case coverage for the definition layer.

NO.32 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?

Verify the behavior of the automated tests by running a small tests, then gradually run the remaining tests to confirm the correct functioning of the whole automated test suite.

Make sure that the infrastructure team has completed installing the service pack on the machines where SUT is running, then run the whole automated test suite to verify its behavior

Verify the behavior of the whole automated test suite by running all the automated tests

Do not run any tests because you can immediately confirm the correct functioning of the automated test suite

NO.33 A TAS uses a commercial test automation tool and the default logs generated by the inconsistent formats such as different types of messages (pass/fail steps, screenshots, warnings, etc.) To solve this issue some custom logging functions have been created from the test scripts, making it possible tolog the different types of messages with the same format. However, this may cause a problem due to excessive size of the logs which can make it difficult to find the required information. Assume that all the default logs will be disabled when running theautomated tests and that some tests will not generate excessively sized logs.
Which of the following represents the BEST suggestion for implementing the custom logging functions?

Implement the custom logging functions without saving timestamps

Implement the custom logging functions to support different levels of tracing

Implement the custom logging functions without saving stack traces

Implement the custom logging functions to redirect the logs to multiple files

NO.34 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 possibleand the scripts must be highly reusable.
Which of the following statements is most likely to be TRUE?

The keyword-driven framework is not suitable, it would be better to adopt a structured-scripting approach

False positive errors are likely to occurwhen running the automated tests on the new releases without modifying the test

The total execution time of the automated regression test suite will decrease for each planned release.

The keyword-driven framework introduces a level abstraction that is too high and makes it difficult what really happens

NO.35 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?

Data-driven scripting

Keyword-driven scripting

Linear scripting

Structure scripting

NO.36 Which of the following statements about the reuse of TAS artefacts is TRUE?

Reusable TAS artefacts can include components (or parts of components) associated with different layers of the TAA

To enable reuse of TAS artefacts, a good design for reuse is built into the TAA and to further action are needed during the TAS lifecycle

Communications maintenance and improvements for reusing TAS artefacts are modify addressedduring the design of the TAA

Reusable TAS artifacts associated with the definition layer of the TAA include the adaptors to the SUT components and/or interfaces
