Which of the following is NOT an advantage of test automation?

  1. The ability to perform tests which would be difficult or impossible to execute manually
  2. The ability to run more tests in less time and therefore to make it possible to run them more often
  3. The ability to find more defects with the same tests, compared to executing the same test manually
  4. The ability to enable a better use of skilled testers by freeing them from repetitive and boring tasks

Answer(s): C



You are planning the pilot for an in-house developed Test Automation solution (TAS).

Which two of the following would be important steps to take as part of the planning process?

a) Review your organisation's current projects and identify which one would be most suitable to pilot the TAS.

b) Ensure that the developers will provide the necessary commitment for the TAS deployment activities.

c) Run a series of training workshops for new users of the TAS before they are asked to use it.

d) Develop a project plan for the pilot and reserve the necessary budget and resources for its implementation.

e) Ask the developers to provide any missing functionality during the deployment activities.

If you are tracking the frequency that a test automation code reports a defect that is not really a defect, what metric are you gathering?

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?

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

Answer(s): A

You are evaluating several test modelling tools and are wanting to automatically generate test cases within the tool where many different combinations of input data are created.

You are then wanting to export the test cases into a csv file which can then be read by a functional test execution tool using a data-driven or keyword-driven scripting method.

You have investigated several tools and there is only one tool that provides all the necessary features defined by your team with the exception of the export facility. It does not provide an export into either .xls or .csv formats.

What would be the BEST next step regarding the selection of this tool?

  1. Consider another tool that is more "fit for purpose" and has all the features required.
  2. Explore the possibility of creating your own export facility.
  3. Ask the vendor and use forums to see if a solution is available or going to be available in the future.
  4. Purchase this tool and generate the .csv file manually.

Answer(s): C
