Question 7

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?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    The connectivity from the TAS to the dedicated test interfaces will not work
  • ○

    The process of configuring the TAS will be error-phone due to manual intervention
  • ○

    The automated test cases will not contain the expected result
  • ○

    False alarms, that are unlikely to occur in the real world, will be observed during testing
Question 8

You are the TAE for an Agile project which has six sprints for the current release. Sprint five is underway and the automated regression suite is due to start later today.

You have re-examined the results from the automated regression runs for the past four sprints. You notice that two test cases both reported a pass for sprints 1 and 4 but a fail for sprints 2 and 3. The failures have gone undetected and are therefore unexplained. Both test cases are closely coupled with other tests in the suite.

What course of action SHOULD you take?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    Run the regression suite as planned and see If the tests fail again if they do, determine the cause of failure.
  • ○

    Remove the test cases from the regression suite and refer them to the test designer for manual testing for future sprints.
  • ○

    Quarantine the test cases, run the regression suite without them, and perform root cause analysis on the test cases in parallel.
  • ○

    Run the test cases manually now. If they still pass, keep them in the regression suite, if they fail perform root cause analysis.
Question 9

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

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    Complexity to automate the manual test cases
  • ○

    Correctness of test data and test cases
  • ○

    The look and feel of the SUT
  • ○

    The controllability of the SUT
