BCS TAE Exam: Frequently Asked Questions

BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level: Test Automation Engineer Sample Questions:

Question 1

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

A. When automating regression tests, consideration should be given to how much time would be saved by automation
B. When automating regression tests, the corresponding manual tests should have already been executed to verify they operate correctly
C. When automating regression tests, the initialization steps set the testpreconditions should be automated wherever possible
D. When automating regression tests, the structure of automated tests must always be thesame as the corresponding manual tests

Question 2

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 takenby 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. Keyword-driven scripting
D. Structure scripting

Question 3

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?

A. Frequency of use
B. Complexity to automate
C. Sustainability of the automated environment
D. Maturity of the test process

Question 4

Consider the following layers of the gTAA structure:
a. Test generation layer
b. Test definition layer
c. Test execution layer
d. Test execution layer
Consider the following capabilities associated with these layers.
Acquire all thenecessary resources before each test and release all after run, in order to avoid interdependences between test Allow the automated test scripts on an abstract level to interact with components, configurations and interfaces of the SUT.
Design test directives that allow configuring the algorithms used to automatically produce the test cases a given model of the SUT.
Allow the definition and implementation of test cases and data by means of templates and/or guidelines.
Which of the following BEST matches each layer with the appropriate capability?

A. a-4, b-3, c-2, d-1
B. a-3, b-4, c-1, d-2
C. a-3, b-4, c-2, d-1
D. a-4, b-3, c-1, d-2

Question 5

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 afterthe abnormal occurred when executing the 11thtest?

A. Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 1sttest.
B. Take a backup of the database in its current state. So It can be analyzed later
C. Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 12thtest
D. Return the database to a consistent state that allows subsequent test to run
