Which of the following statements about contract testing is TRUE?

• A.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
• B.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
• C.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
• D.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

You are a TAE responsible for a TAS that is used on several products, all of which have complex UIs. A substantial proportion of the automated tests break on a regular basis, usually for reasons associated with the UI. The investigation and maintenance this requires is significantly reducing the productivity of the teams and the return on investment.
You are looking for ways to improve the test cases in this TAS. Which of the following approaches would be MOST appropriate?
a) Artificial intelligence
b) Test histograms
c) Reliability growth modelling
d) Schema validation
e) Operational profiles

• A.b and c
• B.d and e
• C.a and b
• D.c and d

You are working as a TAE for a small start-up insurance broker and your next project will be a new system for generating motor insurance quotes. The project will follow an Agile methodology. The stakeholders are keen to get it into production, but are realistic about the need to allow enough time for thorough testing and support automation of tests where appropriate.
Which approach for automating the tests would be MOST suitable for this project?

• A.Keyword-driven testing
• B.Structured scripting
• C.Data-driven testing
• D.Linear scripting

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 factor will support maintainability of test automation solutions?

• A.Common naming conventions
• B.Keyword-driven testing
• C.Test-driven development
• D.Hardcoded parameter values
