In order to achieve re-use of a TAS, where SHOULD the design for reuse occur?

CAt the TAS level

DAt the TAA level

Show Answer

Question: 2

You are evaluating several test modelling tools and are wanting to automatically generate test cases within the tool where many different combinations of input data are created.

You are then wanting to export the test cases into a csv file which can then be read by a functional test execution tool using a data-driven or keyword-driven scripting method.

You have investigated several tools and there is only one tool that provides all the necessary features defined by your team with the exception of the export facility. It does not provide an export into either .xls or .csv formats.

What would be the BEST next step regarding the selection of this tool?

AConsider another tool that is more ''fit for purpose' and has all the features required.

BExplore the possibility of creating your own export facility.

CAsk the vendor and use forums to see if a solution is available or going to be available in the future.

DPurchase this tool and generate the .csv file manually.

Question: 3

Consider a TAS that uses a keyword-driven framework. The SUT is a web application and there is a large set of keywords available for writing the automated tests that relate to highly specific user actions linked directly to the GUI of the SUT. The automated test written with the keywords are statically analyzed by a custom tool which highlight's repeated instances of identical sequence of keywords. The waiting mechanism implemented by the TAS for a webpage load is based on a synchronous sampling within a given timeout. The TAS allows checking a webpage load every seconds until a timeout value

AChanging the scripting approach to data-driven scripting

BImplementing keywords with a higher level of granularity

CChanging the wait mechanism to explicit hard-coded waits

DEstablishing an error recovery process for TAS and SUT

Question: 4

Consider a SUT that small run on multiple platform during the execution of automated test runs. In each test run an automated test suite needs to be executed, with the same version of the TAF, against the same version of the SUT of each platform. Each platform shall have its own dedicated test environment. Your goal is to implement a process as automated as possible ( i.e with minimal manual intervention) that allows implementing a consistent setup of the TAS across the multiple test environments.

Which two of the following aspects are MOST relevant for achieving your goal in this scenario?

The configuration of the TAS uses automated installation scripts

The TAF saves the logs needed to debug errors in XML format

C) Features of the TAF not used by the automated tests have been tested

D) All the automated test cases contain the expected results

E) The TAS components are under configuration management

BB and c

CB and d

Question: 5

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

ATest data shared between tests should, where feasible, be stored and accessed from a single source to avoid duplication or introduction of error.

BAll existing manual tests should be decomposed into several smaller automated tests to reduce functional overlap.

CRemove inter-dependencies between tests to reduce automation failures and costly error analysis.

DOnce a manual test has been automated, execute it immediately to Identify whether it operates correctly.
