ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level-Test Automation Engineering Questions and Answers

Question 1

You have been asked to automate a set of functional tests at system Test level via the CLI of the SUT for the first release of a software system. The automated tests will be delivered to the learn in change of maintenance testing, who will use them for part of the regression testing. They have the following requirements.

1. The automated tests must be as fast and cheap to maintain as possible

2. The cost of adding new automated tests must be as low as possible

3. The automated tests must have a high level of independence from the tool itself

Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable?

Options:

A.

Data-driven scripting

B.

Keyword-driven scripting

C.

Linear scripting

D.

Structure scripting

Question 2

Which of the following BEST describes why it is important to separate test definition from test execution in a TAA?

Options:

A.

It allows developing steps of the test process without being closely tied to the SUT interface.

B.

It allow choosing different paradigms (e.g event-driven) for the interaction TAS and SUT

C.

It allows specify test cases without being closely tied to the tool to run them against the SUT

D.

It allows testers to findmore defects on the SUT

Question 3

Designing the System Under Test (SUT) for testability is important for a good test automation approach and can also benefit manual test execution.

Which of the following is NOT a consideration when designing for testability?

Options:

A.

Observability: The SUT needs to provide interface that give insight into the system.

B.

Re-useability: The code written for the SUT must be re-useable for other similar system.

C.

Clearly defined architecture: The SUT Architecture needs to provide clear and understandable interfaces giving control and visibility on all test levels.

D.

Control: the SUT needs to provide interfaces that can be used to perform actions on SUT.

Question 4

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?

Options:

A.

Verify the behavior of the automated tests by running a small tests, then gradually run the remaining tests to confirm the correct functioning of the whole automated test suite.

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

C.

Verify the behavior of the whole automated test suite by running all the automated tests

D.

Do not run any tests because you can immediately confirm the correct functioning of the automated test suite

Question 5

You have been asked to determine a TAS for a new release of a SUT,test should be automated wherever. The new release will consist of 5 new interfaces and an amendment to 3 existing interfaces. The new and amended interface will be deliver incrementally in 3 sprints, each lasting 2 weeks.

What would be the BEST Test Automation Solution (TAS) design in this scenario?

Options:

A.

Automate tests at both Component and System Level. Only do this automation once every interface has been fully developed or amended and manual testing has completed successfully.

B.

Automate tests at one level only, System level. Use only the newly developed interfaces and do not create any customized interfaces/test hooks.

C.

Automate the tests at two levels, Component and System level. Create customized hooks at Component level for interface not yet developed or amended. Only use the newly developed or amended interfaces to test at System level.

D.

Automate a test at once level, component level, Create customized interface/test hooks for this level where the interface has not yet been developed or amended.

Question 6

Which of the following attributes should NOT be included in a test execution report associated with a suite of automated tests?

Options:

A.

Summary of the test execution results

B.

System/Application under test and its version

C.

Defect clusters identified during test execution

D.

Environment in which the tests have been executed
