Which of the following success factors for a test automation project is TRUE?

• A.The test cases to be automated first must always be selected based on the number of times a test will need to be run
• B.The test cases to be automated must have a high dependency on particular data values
• C.Automated tests must be designed to capture only the data that is strictly needed for comparing expected and actual results
• D.Automated tests that fail due to changes in the requirements of the SUT should be promptly fixed rather than disabled from the test suite

A TAS uses a commercial test automation tool and the default logs generated by the inconsistent formats such as different types of messages (pass/fail steps, screenshots, warnings, etc.) To solve this issue some custom logging functions have been created from the test scripts, making it possible to log the different types of messages with the same format. However, this may cause a problem due to excessive size of the logs which can make it difficult to find the required information. Assume that all the default logs will be disabled when running the automated tests and that some tests will not generate excessively sized logs.
Which of the following represents the BEST suggestion for implementing the custom logging functions?

• A.Implement the custom logging functions without saving stack traces
• B.Implement the custom logging functions without saving timestamps
• C.Implement the custom logging functions to support different levels of tracing
• D.Implement the custom logging functions to redirect the logs to multiple files

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?

• A.Integration environment
• B.Preproduction environment
• C.Local development environment
• D.Build environment

(Which of the following answers describes the LEAST relevant concern in selecting suitable test automation tools for a test automation project?)

• A.In the case of open-source test automation tools, are these tools released under permissive or restrictive licenses, and, if applicable, is it specified whether they can be modified and by whom?
• B.In the case of commercial test automation tools, what factors determine the licensing costs of these tools (e.g., in terms of the maximum number of users supported and whether the license type is fixed or floating)?
• C.What is the degree of technical knowledge and skills within the test team to implement code-based test automation for the project (e.g., in terms of programming and design patterns)?
• D.Has the test team been formed with the different personalities of its members in mind, to ensure that the interaction between them is effective in achieving the objectives of the test automation project?

Which of the following attributes should NOT be included in a test execution report associated with a suite of automated tests?

• A.Summary of the test execution results
• B.System/Application under test and its version
• C.Environment in which the tests have been executed
• D.Defect clusters identified during test execution
