Online Access Free TAE Exam Questions

Consider a TAS that exclusively uses the APIs of a SUT. To make this work, significant changes have been required to the SUT by adding a set of dedicated test interfaces to the APIs. All the automated tests will use these test interfaces when interacting with the SUT. Assume that you are currently verifying the correctness of the automated test environment and test tool setup.
Which of the following would you expect to be the MOST specific risk associated with this scenario?

• A.False alarms, that are unlikely to occur in the real world, will be observed during testing
• B.The automated test cases will not contain the expected result
• C.The process of configuring the TAS will be error-phone due to manual intervention
• D.The connectivity from the TAS to the dedicatedtest interfaces will not work

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 keyword-driven framework introduces a level abstraction that is too high and makes it difficult what really happens
• D.The total execution time of the automated regression test suite will decrease for each planned release.

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

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

Consider a TAS associated to dynamically changing software frequent releases. Your goal is to determine the amount ofeffort required to maintain the automated tests of the regression test suite for each new release of the SUT.
What is the MOST important metric to collect to achieve your goal?

• A.The number of automated testsrequiring maintenance, for each new release of the SUT.
• B.The code coverage achieved with the automated tests, for each new release ofthe SUT
• C.The time it takes to execute all the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT.
• D.The number of automated tests which fail because of a single software defect, for each new release of the SUT

You identified a suitable project to pilot an automation tool and planned and conduced a pilot. The pilot has been successful and tool Is being deployed within your organization, with a plan to increase tool use by the one project at a time. During this rollout some test processes will be changed slightly to gain additional benefits from using the tool.
Inthe pilot project, a small set of manual tests were automated for the first time. You are currently monitoring the test automation efficiency and this reveals that the automation regime for the tests is not yet mature.
Which of the following statements isTRUE?

• A.The approach used for deployed this tool is aligned to the standard success factor for deployment
• B.The test process should be radically changed to gain additional benefits from using the tool.
• C.The target defined for the project was inappropriate, because the automation regime for the automated tests at the end of the pilot is not yet mature.
• D.The pilot project should have been critical so that maximum benefits were delivered
