Which of the following success factors for a test automation project is TRUE?

A. Automated tests must be designed to capture only the data that is strictly needed for comparing expected and actual results

B. The test cases to be automated first must always be selected based on the number of times a test will need to be run

C. The test cases to be automated must have a high dependency on particular data values

D. Automated tests that fail due to changes in the requirements of the SUT should be promptly fixed rather than disabled from the test suite

You have been asked to determine a TAS for a new release of a SUT, test should be automated wherever.

The new release will consist of 5 new interfaces and an amendment to 3 existing interfaces. The new and

amended interface will be deliver incrementally in 3 sprints, each lasting 2 weeks.

What would be the BEST Test Automation Solution (TAS) design in this scenario?

A. Automate tests at both Component and System Level. Only do this automation once every interface has been fully developed or amended and manual testing has completed successfully.

B. Automate tests at one level only, System level. Use only the newly developed interfaces and do not create any customized interfaces/test hooks.

C. Automate the tests at two levels, Component and System level. Create customized hooks at Component level for interface not yet developed or amended. Only use the newly developed or amended interfaces to test at System level.

D. Automate a test at once level, component level, Create customized interface/test hooks for this level where the interface has not yet been developed or amended.

Which of the following attributes should NOT be included in a test execution report associated with a suite of automated tests?

A. Summary of the test execution results

B. System/Application under test and its version

C. Defect clusters identified during test execution

D. Environment in which the tests have been executed

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?

A. The connectivity from the TAS to the dedicated test interfaces will not work

B. The process of configuring the TAS will be error-phone due to manual intervention

C. The automated test cases will not contain the expected result

D. False alarms, that are unlikely to occur in the real world, will be observed during testing

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 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?

A. Implementing keywords with higher level of granularity

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

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

D. Implementing standard setup and teardown functions at test case level
