CT-TAE Practice Exam Questions and Answers

Designing the System Under Test (SUT) for testability is important for a good test automation approach and can also benefit manual test execution.

Which of the following is NOT a consideration when designing for testability?

What represents good practice when automating a manual regression test suite?

When the SUT provides insight into the behaviour of the system, providing the users the with the status of the various actions performed so that they can check that expected behaviour equals actual behaviour, what is this called?

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.

In the 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 is TRUE?

You are using a gTAA to create a TAS for a project. The TAS is aimed at automatically and executing test cases based on a use-case

Modeling approaching that uses UML as a modeling language. All the interaction between TAS and SUT will only be at the API and GUI level.

Which of the following components of the gTAA would you EXCLUDE from the TAS?

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?

You are implementing test automation for a project and you want to be able to generate test cases automatically using a series of test design tools which use a variety of test design techniques such as decision tables, pairwise testing and boundary value analysis.

You also want to generate test data automatically which can then be used by the tests.

Initially these tests will be run manually to verify their correctness and ultimately you want to include them in the test execution tool so that they can run unattended.

Which layer of the gTAA will be used to support the specification of the test cases and preparation of the test data?

Which of the following describes how a test execution report is likely to be used?

Which of the following is an important success factor for any significant automation project?

New features have been added for the current release of a SUT.

Which action would NOT be appropriate for the TAE to perform when evaluating the impact on the TAS?

If you are tracking the frequency that a test automation code reports a defect that is not really a defect, what metric are you gathering?
