Which of the following statements about contract testing is TRUE?

• A.Contract testing can be viewed as a specialized form of API testing that can be applied to effectively and efficiently test integration between microservices, but only if they interact with REST APIs
• B.The differences between the two approaches to contract testing stem primarily from which side creates the contract: this creation is done by the provider for the provider-driven approach and by the consumer (s) for the consumer-driven approach
• C.Contract testing can be viewed as a specialized form of API testing that can be applied to effectively and efficiently test integration between systems, but only if they interact synchronously
• D.Contract testing, regardless of the approach chosen (provider-driven or consumer-driven) does not need to rely on the creation of stubs/mocks since it is used to implement integration testing, not unit
  /component testing

A TAS is used to run on a test environment a suite of automated regression tests, written at the UI level, on different releases of a web app: all executions complete successfully, always providing correct results (i.e., producing neither false positives nor false negatives). The tests, all independent of each other, consist of executable test scripts based on the flow model pattern which has been implemented in a three-layer TAF (test scripts, business logic, core libraries) by expanding the page object model via the facade pattern. Currently the suite takes too long to run, and the test scripts are considered too long in terms of LOC (Lines of Code).
Which of the following recommendations would you provide for improving the TAS (assuming it is possible to perform all of them)?

• A.Modify the TAF so that test scripts are based on the page object model, rather than the flow model pattern
• B.Split the suite into sub-suites and run each of them concurrently on different test environments
• C.Implement a mechanism to automatically reboot the entire web app in the event of a crash
• D.Modify the architecture of the SUT to improve its testability and, if necessary, the TAA accordingly

Which one of the following answers does NOT refer to an example of configuration item(s) that should be specified in development pipelines to identify a test environment (and its specific test data) associated with a web app under test on which to execute automated tests?

• A.The URLs of web APIs/web services related to the web app's backend within the test environment where the app is deployed
• B.The connection string(s) to connect to the test database(s) within the test environment where the web app is deployed
• C.The number and type of automated tests to execute in the test environment where the web app is deployed
• D.The base URL of the test environment where the web app is deployed (i.e., the root address for accessing the web app)

You have agreed with your organization's managers to conduct a pilot project to introduce test automation.
Managers' expectations about the benefits of automation are too optimistic. Which of the following is LEAST relevant when deciding the scope of the pilot project's objectives?

• A.Evaluate the performance of an organization's network infrastructure in terms of factors such as availability, bandwidth, latency, packet loss, and jitter
• B.Evaluate the knowledge and skills of people who will be involved in automating test cases for applicable test automation frameworks and technologies
• C.Evaluate the suitability of different test automation tools based on the technology stack used by the applications for which the automated tests will be developed
• D.Evaluate the potential cost savings and benefits (e.g., faster test execution, better test coverage) of using automated testing versus manual testing

As a TA-E, you have successfully verified that a test automation environment and all other components of the TAS are working as expected. Now your goal is to verify the correct behavior for a given automated test suite that will be run by the TAS. Which of the following should NOT be part of the verifications aimed at achieving your goal?

• A.Does the level of intrusion of automated test tools influence confidence in the suite's test results?
• B.Are all automated tests within the suite complete in terms of test data, including expected results?
• C.Is the connectivity between the TAS and the necessary internal and external systems available and stable?
• D.Do all automated tests within the suite always provide the same results across multiple runs?
