BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level: Test Automation Engineer

Question 1

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?

A. Complexity to automate B. Frequency of use C. Maturity of the test process D. Sustainability of the automated environment

Question 2

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?

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 3

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. It is generally more difficult to automate test cases for a new feature as the developmenthas not yet started B. The test automation engineer should work with the business analysts to ensure the new feature is testable C. Automated tests are not affected by the introduction of a new feature and running them against the new SUT is a waste of effort D. The introduction of a new feature could require updates or additions to the testware components

Question 4

As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be for several projects within yourorganization. The projects require that tool to work effectively and efficiently with SUT's in distributed environments. The test automated tool also needs to interface with other existing test tools (test management tool and defect tracking tool.) The existing test tools subject to planned updates and their interface to the test automated tool may not work property after these updates.
Which of the following are the two LEAST important concerns related to the evaluation of the test automation in this scenario?
* Is the test automation tool able to launch processors and execute test cases on multiple machines in different environments?
* Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme that allows accessing different sets?
* Does the testautomation tool have a large feature set, but only part of the features will be sets?
* Do the release notes for the planned updates on existing specify the impacts on their interfaces to other tools?
Does the test automation tool need to install specific libraries that could impact the SUT?

A. C and D B. A and E C. B and E D. A and C

Question 5

A project consists of distributed teams working in a 24-hour environment, where activities happen at all hours of the day. This project adopts a CI (Continuous Integration) process when developer check-in code and consists of automated activities that include generating a build and deploying it to a test environment.
Automated integration tests are run multiple times a day. The project have asked for a report containing the automation test results for every build, which must be available 24/7 to the project team.
Which of the following would be the BEST way to automatically provides this report?

A. Store the execution results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). Automatically create a test execution report for this build and send it via e-mail to the project team B. Store the execution result of the integration testsfor the last build to a database (overwriting the results from the previous build), automatically create a test execution report for this build send It via e-mail to the project team C. Store the execution results of the integration tests for the last build to adatabase (without overwriting the results from the previous builds), use this database to automatically update a dashboard containing the build history and test results accessible to the project team. D. Store the code coverage results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). And automatically create a chart showing the trend in code coverage and send via email to the project team.
