Question # 4

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?

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 elementsinstead

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

Question # 5

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.

What is the MOST important metric to collect to achieve your goal?

The code coverage achieved with the automated tests,for each new release of the SUT

The number of automated tests which fail because of a single software defect, for each new release of the SUT

The time it takes to execute all the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT.

The number ofautomated tests requiring maintenance, for each new release of the SUT.

Question # 6

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?

Maturity of the test process

Complexity to automate

Frequency of use

Sustainability of the automated environment
