NEW QUESTION 24
Designing the System Under Test (SUT) for testability is important for a good test automation approach and can also benefit manual test execution.

NEW QUESTION 25
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 automated tests by running a small tests, then gradually run the remaining tests to confirm the correct functioning of the whole automated test suite.
- C. Verify the behavior of the whole automated test suite by running all the automated tests
- 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 itsbehavior

NEW QUESTION 26
Which of the following statement about the implementation of automated regression testing is FALSE?

NEW QUESTION 27
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. 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?
- A. Sustainability of the automated environment
- B. Complexity to automate
- C. Maturity of the test process
- D. Frequency ofuse
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION 28
You are executing the first test run of a test automation suite of 200 tests. All the relevant information related to the state of the SUT and to the automated test execution is stored in a small database. During the Automated test run you observe that the first 10 test pass, while an abnormal termination occurs when executing the
11thtest. This test does not complete its execution and the overall execution of the suite is aborted. An immediate analysis of the abnormal termination is expected to be time consuming and you have been asked to produce a detailed report of the execution results for the first test run, as soon as possible.
What is the MOST important FIRST step to be taken immediately after the abnormal occurred when executing the 11thtest?
- A. Take a backup of the database in its current state. So It can be analyzed later
- B. Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 12thtest
- C. Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 1sttest.
- D. Return the database to a consistent state that allows subsequent test to run
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION 29
A defect in a SUT has been resolved and validated by an automated defect re-test in the current release of the software. This retest has now been addedto the automated regression test suite.

- A. The automated regression test suite is not run consistently for future releases.
- B. The configuration management process does not properly control the synchronization between software archives
- C. Automated defect confirmation testing is not effective at confirming that the resolved defect will continue to work in future releases
- D. The automated regression test suite has a narrower scope of functionality
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION 30
Consider a TAS that uses a keyword-driven framework. The SUT is a web application and there is a large set of keywords available for writing the automated tests that relate to highly specific user actions linked directly to the GUI of the SUT. The automated test written with the keywords are statically analyzed by a custom tool which highlight's repeated instances of identical sequence of keywords. The waiting mechanism implemented by the TAS for a webpage load is based on a synchronous sampling within a given timeout. The TAS allowschecking a webpage load everyseconds until a timeout value
- A. Establishing an error recovery process for TAS and SUT
- B. Changing the scripting approach to data-driven scripting
- C. Changing the wait mechanism to explicit hard-coded waits

NEW QUESTION 31
You are working on a TAS for standalone application. The automated tests are developed based on a automation framework that allows interaction with GUI elements using on object orientated API. The GUI elements include menus, buttons, radio buttons, text toolbars and their properties.
Whilst automating a test, you have discovered that the GUI elements of some third party components are not identifiable by the automated tool you are using.
Which of the following is the FIRST stepthat you take to investigate this issue?
- A. Verify whether naming standards for variables and have been defined for the current automation solution
- B. Verify the testability support with the providers of the third party components
- C. Adopt an approach that uses the coordinates of the GUI elementsinstead
- D. Verify whether the GUI identification depends on the browser.
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION 32
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?
- A. Data-driven scripting
- B. Linear scripting
- C. Structure scripting

NEW QUESTION 33
A TAS uses a commercial test automation tool and the default logs generated by the inconsistent formats such as different types of messages (pass/fail steps, screenshots, warnings, etc.) To solve this issue some custom logging functions have been created from the test scripts, making it possible to log the different types of messages with the same format. However, this may cause a problem due to excessive size of the logs which can make it difficult to find the required information. Assume that all the default logs will be disabled when running the automated tests and that some tests will not generate excessively sized logs.
Which of the following represents the BEST suggestion for implementing the custom logging functions?
- A. Implement the custom logging functions without saving stack traces
- B. Implement the custom logging functions without saving timestamps
