ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level, Test Automation Engineering Sample Questions:
A regression test suite consist of 500 test cases which are all executed manually. The business case for a pilot project is based on the adoption of test automation using a commercial tool that will reduce the execution time by a factor of 90% for 100% of the tests in the regression test suite. The pilot project lasted one month ( as planned) and you are currently its results. At the end of the pilot project, 40% of the regression tests have been automated and their execution time has been reduce by 60%.
Which of the following statements is TRUE in this scenario?
- A. The project selected for the pilot is too critical -if should not be too critical or too trivial
- B. The target defined for the business case seems difficult to hit - it should be realistic
- C. The target defined for the business case is too accurate -it should not be measureable
- D. The duration of the pilot project was too short -it should last unit the success factors are achieved
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
Which of the following BEST describes why it is important to separate test definition from test execution in a TAA?
- A. It allows testers to find more defects on the SUT
- B. It allows specify test cases without being closely tied to the tool to run them against the SUT
- C. It allow choosing different paradigms (e.g event-driven) for the interaction TAS and SUT
- D. It allows developing steps of the test process without being closely tied to the SUT interface.
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
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?
- A. The test automation engineer should work with the business analysts to ensure the new feature is testable
- B. The introduction of a new feature could require updates or additions to the testware components
- C. It is generally more difficult to automate test cases for a new feature as the development has not yet started
- D. Automated tests are not affected by the introduction of a new feature and running them against the new SUT is a waste of effort
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
You are using a gTAA to create a TAS for a project. The TAS is aimed specifically at automating a suit of existing manual test cases for standalone desktop applications. All the interfaces between the TAS and SUT will be from the CUI of the application.
Which of the following layers of the gTAA should you focus on for the TAS?
- A. The Test Execution layer
- B. The test Generation layer
- C. The Test Definition layer
- D. The Test Adaption layer
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
Some automated regression test scripts run by a TAS in a given test environment make calls to private APIs that require authentication for all requests (the authentication method is the same for all APIs). The SUT is a business-critical system. The following two changes are planned: a change in the authentication method of all APIs and a minor upgrade of the OS (Operating System) in the test environment. You have updated the test scripts to cope with the change in the API authentication method. Which of the following sequences of activities is BEST to ensure that the test scripts are not adversely affected by these changes?
- A. First implement the change in the API authentication method, then upgrade the OS, and finally run all the updated test scripts
- B. Implement one change at a time and run a subset of the updated test scripts after each change, and finally run all the updated test scripts
- C. First upgrade the OS, then implement the change in the API authentication method, and finally run all the updated test scripts
- D. Implement one change at a time and run a subset of the updated test scripts after each change
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
