You are the TAE for an Agile project which has six sprints for the current release. Sprint five is underway and the automated regression suite is due to start later today.
You have re-examined the results from the automated regression runs for the past four sprints. You notice that two test cases both reported a pass for sprints 1 and 4 but a fail for sprints 2 and 3. The failures have gone undetected and are therefore unexplained. Both test cases are closely coupled with other tests in the suite.
What course of action SHOULD you take?

1. A. Run the regression suite as planned and see If the tests fail again if they do, determine the cause of failure.
2. B. Remove the test cases from the regression suite and refer them to the test designer for manual testing for future sprints.
3. C. Quarantine the test cases, run the regression suite without them, and perform root cause analysis on the test cases in parallel.
4. D. Run the test cases manually no
5. E. If they still pass, keep them in the regression suite, if they fail perform root cause analysis.

Correct Answer: C

As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be for several projects within your organization. The projects require that tool to work effectively and efficiently with SUT??s in distributed environments. The test automated tool also needs to interface with other existing test tools (test management tool and defect tracking tool.) The existing test tools subject to planned updates and their interface to the test automated tool may not work property after these updates.
Which of the following are the two LEAST important concerns related to the evaluation of the test automation in this scenario?
A) Is the test automation tool able to launch processors and execute test cases on multiple machines in different environments?
B) Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme that allows accessing different sets?
C) Does the test automation tool have a large feature set, but only part of the features
will be sets?
D) Do the release notes for the planned updates on existing specify the impacts on their interfaces to other tools?
Does the test automation tool need to install specific libraries that could impact the SUT?

1. A. A and C
2. B. A and E
3. C. B and E
4. D. C and D

Correct Answer: C

What represents good practice when automating a manual regression test suite?

1. A. Test data shared between tests should, where feasible, be stored and accessed from a single source to avoid duplication or introduction of error.
2. B. All existing manual tests should be decomposed into several smaller automated tests to reduce functional overlap.
3. C. Remove inter-dependencies between tests to reduce automation failures and costly error analysis.
4. D. Once a manual test has been automated, execute it immediately to Identify whether it operates correctly.

Correct Answer: D

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

Correct Answer: C

Which of the following statements BEST describe aspects of the SUT to consider when designing a TAA?

1. A. All the interaction between SUT and TAS should be logged with the highest level of detail
2. B. All the internal test interfaces of the SUT should be removed prior to the product release
3. C. All the interface of the SUT affected by the tests should be controllable by the TAA
4. D. All the external test interfaces of the SUT should be removed prior to the product release

Correct Answer: A
