When if the BEST time for automation to consider legal and/or standard requirements for a SUT?

1. A. When implementing the SUT
2. B. When designing a TAF
3. C. When designing a TAA
4. D. When developing a TAS

Correct Answer: A

You have investigated a new tool which enables the modelling of the SUT and can then generate test cases either manually or automatically. You have convinced your managers that the best way forward is to conduct a pilot project for this tool. You need to select a project to use for the pilot. You have the choice of the following projects:
Project A: A two-year project that is critical to the business and is currently in the requirement phase. This project is for a new e-commerce web site and is mostly being developed ??in-house" although the payment system is being developed and delivered by a 3rd party provider.
Project B: A safety critical application for software to drive and park cars.
Project C: An upgrade to an important HR timesheet tracking application that will be available on a desktop and mobile application. This is a 1-month project developed in- house.
Project D The payment system from project A. Which project would be BEST for the pilot?

1. A. Project A because it is a large project and has high visibility and is in the requirement phase.
2. B. Project B because it is a safety critical system and has high visibility.
3. C. Project C because it is a short, low priority project but is important.
4. D. Project D because it is a small part of a larger project and will help show the tool??s capabilities.

Correct Answer: D

You have executed an automated test suite for a product that was released into production. Although all the tests passed, there was a major failure in production in an area that was covered well by your automated tests.
You have run the automated tests again and one of the tests is now failing and this is directly related to the production defect that was raised. You decide to run the automated test suite again on the same version of the SUT and the test now passes.
What SHOULD you do now to verify the validity of the automated tests?

1. A. Remove the intermittently failing test from the test suite and investigate the reason why the test sometimes passes and sometimes fails.
2. B. Check that the production defect that was reported was an actual defect
3. C. Run the automated test suite again and if the test now passes - do nothing

Correct Answer: A

You are working on a government system called ??Making Tax Digital" or MTD for short. This system is being implemented to stop manual human input error and also to reduce fraudulent behaviour from companies when submitting their tax and VAT returns.
The key concept is that registered companies will need to use government recommended 3rd party software for their accounts and book keeping. These 3rd party applications will have a direct interface into the government's main system for transactions and submissions.
You have been using a test execution tool successfully on the project so far. and have implemented a basic ??capture/replay?? approach to scripting.
The management have been encouraged with the automation so far, but want the following objectives to be met:
* Test cases added easily
* Reduction in the amount of scripts and script duplication
* Reduction in maintenance costs
Which scripting technique would be MOST suitable in this scenario in order to meet the objectives?

1. A. Linear scripting
2. B. Structured scripting
3. C. Data-driven scripting
4. D. Keyword-driven scripting

Which of the following is considered a disadvantage of test automation?

1. A. Automated exploratory testing is difficult to implement
2. B. Test automation can be a distraction from the objective of finding bugs
3. C. Tests are more likely to have operator errors.
4. D. Slower feedback on the quality of the system.
