NEW QUESTION 16
As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be for several projects within your organization. The projects require that tool to work effectively and efficiently with SUT’s in distributed environments. The test automated tool also needs to interface with other existing test tools (test management tool and defect tracking tool.) The existing test tools subject to planned updates and their interface to the test automated tool may not work property after these updates.
Which of the following are the two LEAST important concerns related to the evaluation of the test automation in this scenario?
* Is the test automation tool able to launch processors and execute test cases on multiple machines in different environments?
* Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme thatallows accessing different sets?
* Does the test automation tool have a large featureset, but only part of the features will be sets?
* Do the release notes for the planned updates on existing specify the impacts on their interfaces to other tools?
Does the test automation tool need to install specific libraries that could impact the SUT?

NEW QUESTION 17
You have been asked to determine a TAS for a new release of a SUT,test should be automated wherever. The new release will consist of 5 new interfaces and an amendment to 3 existing interfaces. The new and amended interface will be deliver incrementally in 3 sprints, each lasting 2 weeks.
What would be the BEST Test Automation Solution (TAS) design in this scenario?

Automate tests at both Component and System Level. Only do this automation once every interface has been fully developed or amended and manual testing has completed successfully.

Automate tests at one level only, System level. Use only the newly developed interfaces and do not create any customized interfaces/test hooks.

Automate the tests at two levels, Component and System level. Create customized hooks at Component level for interface not yet developed or amended. Only use the newly developed or amended interfaces to test at System level.

Automate a test at once level, component level, Create customized interface/test hooks for this level where the interface has not yet been developed or amended.

NEW QUESTION 18
The GUI of a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application has been delivered through internet Explorer with proprietary Active X and Java controls.

NEW QUESTION 27
Consider a TAS that is going to be deployed for the first time. The TAS requires share resources and run it its own test environment. The infrastructure for the TAS has been created along with maintenance procedures. It is very unlikely the TAS will be required to work in other target Environments. There is a high-risk that when the TAS is deployed in its own test environment, a number of existing application will no longer work because of conflicts with the existing shared resources.

NEW QUESTION 34
A web application was released into production one year ago, it has regular release which follow a V-model lifecycle and testing is well-established and fully integration into the development lifecycle. You have beenasked to implement a TAS for the regression test suite. The regression tests have been developed via the GUI and are expected to be run at least four times a month, for each planned release, for the whole operation solution life of the system (six years). Each screen of the GUI uses several third-party controls which are not compatible with the existing automation solutions.

What could be the MOST problematic for this TAS?

Maturity of the test process

Complexity to automate

Frequency ofuse

Sustainability of the automated environment

Which statement BEST describes a reason why this defect could re-occur in future releases?

Automated defect confirmation testing is not effective at confirming that the resolved defect will continue to work in future releases

The configuration management process does not properly control the synchronization between software archives

The automated regression test suite is not run consistently for future releases.

The automated regression test suite has a narrower scope of functionality

NEW QUESTION 36
You are working on a TAS forstandaloneapplication. The automated tests are developed based on a automation framework that allows interaction with GUI elements using on object orientated API. The GUI elements includemenus, buttons, radio buttons, text toolbars and their properties.

Which of the following is the FIRST step that you take to investigate this issue?

Verify the testability support with the providers of the third party components

Verify whether the GUI identification depends on the browser.

Adopt an approach that uses the coordinates of the GUI elements instead

Verify whether naming standards for variables and have been defined for the current automation solution

NEW QUESTION 37
Which of thefollowingstatementsdoes NOT describe good practice for maintaining the TAS?

The TAS must run in the development environment because development and programming knowledge are required for its maintainability

The TAS must be under configuration management, along with the test suite,the testware artefacts and the test environment in which it runs

The TAS must separate the test scripts from the environment in which it runs and from the associated harnesses and artefacts

The TAS must consist ofcomponents that can be easily replaced without affecting the overallbehavior of the TAS itself

NEW QUESTION 38
Consider a TAS associated to dynamically changing software frequent releases. Your goal is todetermine the amount of effort required to maintain the automated tests of the regression test suite for each new release of the SUT.

All the test cases of the automated test suite contain the same identical sequences of steps at the beginning (to create the necessary objects when doing a preliminary configuration of the test environment and at the end (to remove everything created -specifically for the test itself during the preliminary configuration of the test environment). All automated test cases use the same set of assertion functions from a shared library, for verifying the values in the GUI fields (e.g text boxes).
What is the BEST recommendation for improving the TAS?
