ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineering Questions and Answers

Question 1

You are reviewing the testability of your SUT.

Which of the following BEST refers to the characteristic of OBSERVABILITY?

Options:

A.

The ability of the SUTto perform its intended function for a specified period of time

B.

The ability to exercise the SUT by entering inputs, triggering events and invoking methods

C.

The ability of the SUT to prevent unauthorized access to its components or data.

D.

The abilityto identify states, outputs, intermediate result and error messages in the SUT

Question 2

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

Options:

A.

Automated tests must be designed to capture only the datathat 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

Question 3

A regression test suite consist of 500 test cases which are allexecuted 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 lastedone 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?

Options:

A.

Theduration of the pilot project was too short –it should last unit the success factors are achieved

B.

The target defined for the business case is too accurate –it should not be measureable

C.

The project selected for the pilot is too critical –if should not be too critical or too trivial

D.

The target defined for the business case seems difficult to hit – it should be realistic

Question 4

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?

Options:

A.

Automated tests are not affected by the introduction of a new feature and running them against the new SUT is a waste of effort

B.

The introduction of a new feature could require updates or additions to the testware components

C.

The test automation engineer should work with the business analysts to ensure the new feature is testable

D.

It is generally more difficult to automate test cases for a new feature as the developmenthas not yet started

Question 5

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 the suite 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 afterthe abnormal occurred when executing the 11thtest?

Options:

A.

Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 12thtest

B.

Return the database to a consistent state that allows subsequent test to run

C.

Take a backup of the database in its current state. So It can be analyzed later

D.

Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 1sttest.

Question 6

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?

Options:

A.

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

B.

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

C.

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

D.

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