Online Access Free TAE Practice Test

Consider a TAS deployed into production. The SUT is a web application and the test suite consists of a set of automated regression tests developed via GUI. A keyword-driven framework has been adopted for automating the regression tests. The tests are based on identification at low-levels of the web page components (e.g class indexes, tab sequence indexes and coordinates) in the next planned release the SUT will be subject to significant corrective maintenance (bug-fixes) and evolution (new features) Maintenance costs to update the test scripts should be as low as possibleand the scripts must be highly reusable.
Which of the following statements is most likely to be TRUE?

• A.The keyword-driven framework is not suitable, it would be better to adopt a structured-scripting approach
• B.False positive errors are likely to occurwhen running the automated tests on the new releases without modifying the test
• C.The total execution time of the automated regression test suite will decrease for each planned release.
• D.The keyword-driven framework introduces a level abstraction that is too high and makes it difficult what really happens

Consider the following layers of the gTAA structure:
a. Test generation layer
b. Test definition layer
c. Test execution layer
d. Test execution layer
Consider the following capabilities associated with these layers.
Acquire all thenecessary resources before each test and release all after run, in order to avoid interdependences between test Allow the automated test scripts on an abstract level to interact with components, configurations and interfaces of the SUT.
Design test directives that allow configuring the algorithms used to automatically produce the test cases a given model of the SUT.
Allow the definition and implementation of test cases and data by means of templates and/or guidelines.
Which of the following BEST matches each layer with the appropriate capability?

• A.a-4, b-3, c-1, d-2
• B.a-4, b-3, c-2, d-1
• C.a-3, b-4, c-1, d-2
• D.a-3, b-4, c-2, d-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.Sustainability of the automated environment
• C.Maturity of the test process
• D.Frequency of use

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 writingthe 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

• A.Changing the wait mechanism to explicit hard-coded waits
• B.Changing the scripting approach to data-driven scripting
• C.Establishing an error recovery process for TAS and SUT
• D.Implementing keywords with a higher level of granularity

You are reviewing the testability of your SUT.
Which of the following BEST refers to the characteristic of OBSERVABILITY?

• A.The abilityto identify states, outputs, intermediate result and error messages in the SUT
• B.The ability of the SUT to prevent unauthorized access to its components or data.
• C.The ability to exercise the SUT by entering inputs, triggering events and invoking methods
• D.The ability of the SUTto perform its intended function for a specified period of time
