You have inherited a TAS that is working well it uses keyword-driven scripting and was well architected. The automation architect who built the system has now moved on to another company. The TAS is working across several projects and has a multiple library of keywords, categorised by project. The individual project teams maintain these keyword scripts.
Based only on the given information, what is the MOST significant risk for the TAS?

• A.New projects may not work as well with the TAS as the current projects
• B.The keyword driven scripts may become out of date if not maintained
• C.The level of abstraction, coupled with the departure of the architect may make the system hard to maintain
• D.Because the keyword scripts are maintained by different teams, there is a likelihood that good coding standards are not followed

You are testing a major enhancement to an air traffic control user interface. You have use of a sophisticated pre-production test environment, created specifically for large scale automated regression, performance and security testing. The window for regression testing is limited and must successfully conclude, with no major regressions remaining, before the non-functional testing starts.
You have been using the same version of the TAS for the last few releases, each time completing the automated regression test suite in a single overnight run. However, due to the latest enhancements for the SUT, you believe there is a risk that the test suite may no longer complete overnight and therefore delay performance and security testing.
Which option would be the BEST and MOST cost-efficient approach to mitigate this risk?

• A.Analyse the regression test suite and remove test coverage duplication and redundancy.
• B.Split the regression test suite into multiple parts, running in the environment across consecutive nights.
• C.Create a mirror of the pre-production test environment and split the regression test suite to run in parallel across the environments.
• D.Introduce better coding practices for the automation scripts, including coding guidelines, reviews and improved static analysis.

Assume that you are the TAE responsible for the correct functioning of a TAS, deployed in a test environment that consists of a few machines running the same version of the operating system. The TAS has been working and stable since its deployment, it has been used to run an automated test suite consisting of many similar automated test. The infrastructure team is planning to update the operating system on these machines by installing a new the service pack for security reasons. Since the vendor of the operating system assurance full backward compatibility, the infrastructure team assurance that there will be no impacts on the functioning of the TAS.
What is the BEST approach to confirm the correct functioning of the TAS in this scenario?

• A.Do not run any tests because you can immediately confirm the correct functioning of the automated test suite
• B.Verify the behavior of the whole automated test suite by running all the automated tests
• C.Verify the behavior of the automated tests by running a small tests, then gradually run the remaining tests to confirm the correct functioning of the whole automated test suite.
• D.Make sure that the infrastructure team has completed installing the service pack on the machines where SUT is running, then run the whole automated test suite to verify its behavior

What is NOT a factor in considering when you are asked to ensure an effective transition from manual to automated tests?

• A.Complexity to automate the manual test cases
• B.Correctness of test data and test cases
• C.The look and feel of the SUT
• D.The controllability of the SUT

When the SUT provides interfaces that can then be used to perform actions on the SUT, what is this called?
SELECT ONE OPTION

• A.Maintainability
• B.Observability
• C.Portability
• D.Controllability
