Question # 2

Consider a TAS implemented to perform automated testing on native mobile apps at the UI level, where the TAF implements a client-server architecture. The client runs on-premise and allows creation of automated test scripts using TAF libraries to recognize and interact with the app’s UI objects. The server runs in the cloud as part of a PaaS service, receiving commands from the client, translating them into actions for the mobile device, and sending the results to the client. The cloud platform hosts several mobile devices dedicated for use by this TAS. The device on which to run test scripts/test suites is specified at run time. You are currently verifying whether the test automation environment and all other TAS/TAF components work correctly. Which of the following activities would you perform to achieve your goal?

Options:

A.  

Manage the infrastructure that hosts the server, including hardware, software updates, and security patches

B.  

Check whether the references to the device on which the given test scripts/test suites will be executed are correctly hard-coded within these test scripts/test suites

C.  

Check whether the TAF libraries that the test scripts will use to recognize and interact with the app’s UI objects (widgets) function as expected

D.  

Check whether all test scripts that will be executed by the TAS as part of a given test suite have expected results

Question # 3

What outcome can happen as a result of a high level of test tool intrusion?

Options:

A.  

Corruption of data in some test data sets

B.  

Failures that will not be seen in production

C.  

Lack of repeatability of some test results

D.  

A greater need for configuration management controls

Question # 4

You are working as a TAE for a large insurance company that offers a wide range of products, including home, health, and motor insurance. Your next project will be a major change to the existing system for processing policy claims. The project’s objective is to provide more flexibility in the process for claim authorization, according to the type of policy and nature of the claim, so that simple claims can be processed faster. It will follow a hybrid methodology with development and testing completed in 3-week iterations.

The most important functional and non-functional tests for the existing system have been automated. The older tests feature structured scripting, but the more recent ones have benefited from data-driven testing.

Which automation approach for the system-level tests would be MOST suitable for this project?

Options:

A.  

Keyword-driven testing

B.  

Test-driven development

C.  

Structured scripting

D.  

Data-driven testing

Question # 5

You are employed as a TAE on a project to build a purchasing system. The main requirements for the system are:

1) Allow users to enter details of items that they wish to have purchased and, from these details, create a purchase request.

2) Take each purchase request through a workflow that will allow the requestor's line manager to approve the request, reject it, or return it for clarification/modification.

3) Forward approved requests to the Purchasing Department.

4) Allow purchasers to find the best available supplier and place the request on that supplier as a purchase order.

Requirement 1 has now been delivered and has been satisfactorily tested manually. In parallel, you have developed a TAS so that functional suitability testing can be automated.

You intended to use the implementation of Requirement 1 as a pilot for the TAS. Which TWO of these objectives are MOST appropriate for this pilot?

a) Generate prototypes for the implementation options of the TAS

b) Demonstrate the suitability of at least one TAS implementation option

c) Expose any risks to further deployment of this TAS

d) Assess the quality of the implementation of Requirement 1

e) Enable a calculation of the likely return on investment for this TAS

Options:

A.  

a and d

B.  

a and e

C.  

c and d

D.  

b and c

Question # 6

(Which of the following statements about how test automation is applied across different software development lifecycle models is TRUE?)

Options:

A.  

In Agile software development, automated regression test suites sometimes grow so large that they can become difficult to maintain, and thus, it becomes crucial to invest in test automation at multiple test levels

B.  

In a Waterfall model, automated tests are usually executed only during the last phase of the development lifecycle, but their implementation occurs in the early stages

C.  

In Agile software development, regardless of context (e.g., type of application to be developed, tools available), test automation must be based on the test automation distribution known as the test pyramid model

D.  

Unlike Agile software development, where automated unit tests are written by developers, often in a test-first fashion, in a V-model, automated unit tests are written by testers as part of unit testing

Question # 7

A TAS that performs automated testing in a single test environment was successfully manually installed and configured from a central repository, with all its components in the correct versions. It was also verified that all TAS components in this environment are capable of providing reliable and repeatable performance. The TAS will be used to run several suites of automated regression test scripts on various SUTs in the test environment. Your current goal is to complete all preliminary verifications to ensure that the TAS works correctly. Which of the following activities would you perform FIRST?

Options:

A.  

Create scripts to automatically install and configure the TAS in the test environment from the central repository

B.  

Check whether the TAS connectivity to all required internal systems, external systems, and interfaces is available

C.  

Run a given suite multiple times using TAS to determine whether all regression test scripts always provide the same result

D.  

Check whether all regression test scripts in a given suite have expected results

Discussion 0
Question # 8

Which of the following information in API documentation is LEAST relevant for implementing automated tests on that API?

Options:

A.  

Release notes/change logs on past changes to the API

B.  

Details about the parameters accepted by each API endpoint

C.  

Authentication mechanisms required to access the API

D.  

Details about the format of the API responses

Discussion 0
Question # 9

A release candidate of a SUT, after being fully integrated with all other necessary systems, has successfully passed all required functional tests (90% were automated tests and 10% were manual tests). Now, it is necessary to perform reliability tests aimed at evaluating whether, under certain conditions, that release will be able to guarantee an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) in the production environment higher than a certain threshold (expressed in CPU time). Which of the following test environments is BEST suited to perform these reliability tests?

Options:

A.  

Local development environment

B.  

Build environment

C.  

Integration environment

D.  

Preproduction environment

Discussion 0
Question # 10

Your TAS is being used for automated functional suitability testing of a stock management system. Several tests have crashed. Despite the fact that the SUT creates detailed logs of all its activity, it has been difficult to determine the reason(s) for these crashes from the TAS and SUT test logs.

What actions are MOST likely to help with debugging?

a) Ensure that the TAS logs a count of how many times each test case is run.

b) Ensure that the SUT logs all available configuration data when it starts up.

c) Ensure that the SUT logs all available crash dumps and stack traces in the event of failure.

d) Ensure that the SUT logs all values of randomly generated test input data.

e) Ensure exact time synchronization of all test logs before any tests are run.

Options:

A.  

b and e

B.  

a and d

C.  

c and d

D.  

b and c
