A project consists of distributed teams working in a 24-hour environment, where activities happen at all hours of the day. This project adopts a CI (Continuous Integration) process when developer check-in code and consists of automated activities that include generating a build and deploying it to a test environment. Automated integration tests are run multiple times a day. The project have asked for a report containing the automation test results for every build, which must be available 24/7 to the project team.
Which of the following would be the BEST way to automatically provides this report?

1. A. Store the execution results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds), use this database to automaticallyupdate a dashboard containing the build history and test results accessible to the project team.
2. B. Store the execution result of the integration tests for the last build to a database (overwriting the results from the previous build), automatically create a test execution report for this build send It via e-mail to the project team
3. C. Store the execution results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). Automatically create a test execution report for this build and send it via e-mail to the project team
4. D. Store the code coverage results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). And automatically create a chart showing the trend in code coverage and send via email to the project team.

Correct Answer: A

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?

1. A. Verify the behavior of the automated tests by running a small tests, then gradually runthe remaining tests to confirm the correct functioning of the whole automated test suite.
2. B. 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 its behavior
3. C. Verify the behavior of the whole automated test suite by running all the automated tests
4. D. Do not run any tests because you can immediately confirm the correct functioning of the automated test suite

Correct Answer: A

Consider the following example of TAS metrics. Time to execute automated tests
Speed and efficiency of TAS components Which of the following statements is TRUE?

1. A. A and B are both internal TAS metrics
2. B. A is an internal TAS metric and B is an external TAS metric
3. C. A and b are both external TAS metric
4. D. A is and external TAS metric and b is an internal TAS metric

Correct Answer: D

What is NOT a factor in considering when you are asked to ensure an effective transition from manual to automated tests?

1. A. Complexity to automate the manual test cases
2. B. Correctness of test data and test cases
3. C. The look and feel of the SUT
4. D. The controllability of the SUT

Correct Answer: C

New features have been added for the current release of a SUT.
Which action would NOT be appropriate for the TAE to perform when evaluating the impact on the TAS?

1. A. Gather feedback from the Business Analysts to determine if the current TAS will meet the needs of the new features.
2. B. Review existing keywords to see if they need to be modified.
3. C. Run existing automated tests against the updated SUT to verify and record any changesto their correct operation.
4. D. Evaluate compatibility with existing test tools and, where necessary, identify alternative solutions.
