You are working on a TAS for standalone application. The automated tests are developed based on a automation framework that allows interaction with GUI elements using on object orientated API. The GUI elements include menus, buttons, radio buttons, text toolbars and their properties.
Whilst automating a test, you have discovered that the GUI elements of some third party components are not identifiable by the automated tool you are using.
Which of the following is the FIRST step that you take to investigate this issue?

• A.Verify whether the GUI identification depends on the browser.
• B.Adopt an approach that uses the coordinates of the GUI elements instead
• C.Verify whether naming standards for variables and have been defined for the current automation solution
• D.Verify the testability support with the providers of the third party components

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?

• A.Re-useability: The code written for the SUT must be re-useable for other similar system.
• B.Control: the SUT needs to provide interfaces that can be used to perform actions on SUT.
• C.Clearly defined architecture: The SUT Architecture needs to provide clear and understandable interfaces giving control and visibility on all test levels.
• D.Observability: The SUT needs to provide interface that give insight into the system.

A defect in a SUT has been resolved and validated by an automated defect re-test in the current release of the software. This retest has now been added to the automated regression test suite.
Which statement BEST describes a reason why this defect could re-occur in future releases?

• A.The automated regression test suite is not run consistently for future releases.
• B.Automated defect confirmation testing is not effective at confirming that the resolved defect will continue to work in future releases
• C.The automated regression test suite has a narrower scope of functionality
• D.The configuration management process does not properly control the synchronization between software archives

You are testing a major enhancement to an air traffic control user interface. You have use of a sophisticated pre-production test environment, created specifically for large scale automated regression, performance and security testing. The window for regression testing is limited and must successfully conclude, with no major regressions remaining, before the non-functional testing starts.
You have been using the same version of the TAS for the last few releases, each time completing the automated regression test suite in a single overnight run. However, due to the latest enhancements for the SUT, you believe there is a risk that the test suite may no longer complete overnight and therefore delay performance and security testing.
Which option would be the BEST and MOST cost-efficient approach to mitigate this risk?

• A.Introduce better coding practices for the automation scripts, including coding guidelines, reviews and improved static analysis.
• B.Create a mirror of the pre-production test environment and split the regression test suite to run in parallel across the environments.
• C.Split the regression test suite into multiple parts, running in the environment across consecutive nights.
• D.Analyse the regression test suite and remove test coverage duplication and redundancy.

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

• A.The ability to find more defects with the same tests, compared to executing the same test 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 perform tests which would be difficult or impossible to execute manually
• D.The ability to enable a better use of skilled testers by freeing them from repetitive and boring tasks
