You are working on a government system called "Making Tax Digital" or MTD for short. This system is being implemented to stop manual human input error and also to reduce fraudulent behaviour from companies when submitting their tax

and VAT returns.

The key concept is that registered companies will need to use government recommended 3rd party software for their accounts and book keeping. These 3rd party applications will have a direct interface into the government's main system for

transactions and submissions.

You have been using a test execution tool successfully on the project so far. and have implemented a basic "capture/replay" approach to scripting.

The management have been encouraged with the automation so far, but want the following objectives to be met:

*

Test cases added easily

*

Reduction in the amount of scripts and script duplication

*

Reduction in maintenance costs

Which scripting technique would be MOST suitable in this scenario in order to meet the objectives?

A.

Linear scripting

B.

Structured scripting

C.

Data-driven scripting

D.

Keyword-driven scripting

In order to achieve re-use of a TAS, where SHOULD the design for reuse occur?

A. At the code level

B. At the framework level.

C. At the TAS level

D. At the TAA level

Your project is transitioning from manual to automated testing. You have decided to implement a pilot project so that lessons learned can inform future time estimates and schedules.

Which two of the following represent the types of test cases that are MOST suited to a test automation pilot project?

a) High added value test cases that require little effort to automate. b) Test that are run infrequently as these will be simpler to automate c) Reliability test cases that can show added value soon d) Technically challenging test cases to provide the best validation of manual test conversion e) Tests that are least Important to the business as these are safer to trial

A. a and b

B. a and c

C. b and d

D. c and e

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 statement about the implementation of automated regression testing is FALSE?

A. When automating regression tests, the structure of automated tests must always be the same as the corresponding manual tests

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

C. When automating regression tests, the initialization steps set the test preconditions should be automated wherever possible

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