ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level-Test Automation Engineering Questions and Answers

Question 1

The GUI of a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application has been delivered through internet Explorer with proprietary Active X and Java controls. This implementation enables rich client capabilities, but specific commercial automation tools are necessary to automate test cases at GUI of functional test cases. This is to demonstrate whether a small set of the commercial are able to properly recognize actions taken by a tester when interacting with GUI of the CRM application.

Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable in this scenario?

Options:

A.

Data-driven scripting

B.

Keyword-driven scripting

C.

Linear scripting

D.

Structure scripting

Question 2

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?

Options:

A.

The connectivityfrom the TAS to the dedicated test interfaces will not work

B.

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

C.

The automated test cases will not contain the expected result

D.

False alarms, that are unlikely to occur inthe real world, will be observed during testing

Question 3

Which of the following metrics could suggest, under certain condition that an automated regression test suite has NOT been updated for new functionalities added to the SUT?

Options:

A.

The ratio of comments to executable statements in the SUT code.

B.

The SUT code coverage provided by the execution of the regression test suite.

C.

The defect density in the automation code of the regression test suite.

D.

The ratio of commands to executable statements in the automation code of the regression test suite

Question 4

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 been asked 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. The environment for the automation will be stable, fully controllable and separated from other environments (development, staging, production).

What could be the MOST problematic for this TAS?

Options:

A.

Maturity of the test process

B.

Complexity to automate

C.

Frequency of use

D.

Sustainability of the automated environment

Question 5

A project consists of distributed teams working in a 24-hour environment, where activities happen at all hours of the day. This project adopts a CI (Continuous Integration) process when developer check-in code and consists of automated activities that include generating a build and deploying it to a test environment. Automated integration tests are run multiple times a day. The project have asked for a report containing the automation test results for every build, which must be available 24/7 to the project team.

Which of the following would be the BEST way to automatically provides this report?

Options:

A.

Store the execution results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds), use this database to automatically update a dashboard containing the build history and test results accessible to the project team.

B.

Store the execution result of theintegration tests for the last build to a database (overwriting the results from the previous build), automatically create a test execution report for this build send It via e-mail to the project team

C.

Store the execution results of the integration testsfor the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). Automatically create a test execution report for this build and send it via e-mail to the project team

D.

Store the code coverage results of the integration testsfor the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). And automatically create a chart showing the trend in code coverage and send via email to the project team.

Question 6

Consider a TAS deployed into production. The SUT is aweb application and the test suite consists of a set of automated regression tests developed via GUI. A keyword-driven framework has been adopted for automating the regression tests. The tests are based on identification at low-levels of the web page components (e.g class indexes, tab sequence indexes and coordinates) in the next planned release the SUT will be subject to significant corrective maintenance (bug-fixes) and evolution (new features) Maintenance costs to update the test scripts should be as low as possible and the scripts must be highly reusable.

Which of the following statements is most likely to be TRUE?

Options:

A.

The keyword-driven framework is not suitable, it would be better to adopt a structured-scripting approach

B.

False positive errors are likely to occur when running the automated tests on the new releases without modifying the test

C.

The total execution time of the automated regression test suite will decrease for each planned release.

D.

The keyword-driven framework introduces a level abstraction that is too high and makes it difficult what really happens
