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

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?

Options:

A.

Observability: The SUT needs to provide interface that give insight into the system.

B.

Re-useability: The code written for the SUT must be re-useable for other similar system.

C.

Clearly defined architecture: The SUT Architecture needs to provide clear and understandable interfaces giving control and visibility on all test levels.

D.

Control: the SUT needs to provide interfaces that can be used to perform actions on SUT.

Question 3

A web application was released into production one year ago, it has regular release which follow a V-model lifecycle and testing is well-established and fully integration into the development lifecycle. You have been asked to implement a TAS for the regression test suite. The regression tests have been developed via the GUI and are expected to be run at least four times a month, for each planned release, for the whole operation solution life of the system (six years). Each screen of the GUI uses several third-party controls which are not compatible with the existing automation solutions. The environment for the automation will be stable, fully controllable and separated from other environments (development, staging, production).

What could be the MOST problematic for this TAS?

Options:

A.

Maturity of the test process

B.

Complexity to automate

C.

Frequency of use

D.

Sustainability of the automated environment

Question 4

Which of the following is NOT an advantage of test automation?

Options:

A.

The ability to perform tests which would be difficult orimpossible to execute manually

B.

The ability to run more tests in less time and therefore to make it possible to run them more often

C.

The ability to find more defects with the same tests, compared to executing the same test manually

D.

The ability to enable a better use of skilled testers by freeing them from repetitive and boring tasks

Question 5

Assume that you are the TAE responsible for the correct functioning of a TAS, deployed in a test environment that consists of a few machines running the same version of the operating system. The TAS has been working and stable since its deployment, it has been used to run an automated test suite consisting of many similar automated test. The infrastructure team is planning to update the operating system on these machines by installing a new the service pack for security reasons. Since the vendor of the operating system assurance full backward compatibility, the infrastructure team assurance that there will be no impacts on the functioning of the TAS.

What is the BEST approach to confirm the correct functioning of the TAS in this scenario?

Options:

A.

Verify the behavior of the automated tests by running a small tests, then gradually run the remaining tests to confirm the correct functioning of the whole automated test suite.

B.

Make sure that the infrastructure team has completed installing the service pack on the machines where SUT is running, then run the whole automated test suite to verify its behavior

C.

Verify the behavior of the whole automated test suite by running all the automated tests

D.

Do not run any tests because you can immediately confirm the correct functioning of the automated test suite

Question 6

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?

Options:

A.

The test reporting component of the test execution layer.

B.

The Test execution component of the test generation layer

C.

The test execution (test engine of the test execution layer

D.

The Command Line Interface (CLI) component of the test adaptation layer
