CT-TAE Free Certification Exam Material from DumpsTests with 82 Questions [Q30-Q52]

Q30. Which of the following statements does NOT describe good practice for maintaining the TAS?

Q31. You are working on a web-based application called Book Vault that allows people to upload books and order books. This application must be available on all major browsers.
You have been testing the application manually and management have asked you to consider automating some of the tests.
You have investigated a number of commercial and free tools which can automate tests at a web browser level and one tool in particular meets your requirements and you have implemented a trial version.
You have basic programming skills and the main goal is to automate a few functional tests to see if the tool is compatible with the application and can recognise the objects and controls.
Which scripting technique would be MOST suitable in this scenario in order to meet the objectives?

Q32. Which of the following metrics could suggest, under certain condition that an automated regression test suite has NOT been updated for new functionalities added to the SUT?

Q33. 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 taken by a tester when interacting with GUI of the CRM application.
Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable in this scenario?

Q34. You are currently designing the TAA of a TAS. You have been asked to adopt an approach for automatically generating and executing test cases from a model that defines the SUT. The SUT is a state-based and event-driven that is described by a finite-state machine and exposes its functionality via an API. The behavior of the SUT depends on hardware and communication links that can be unreliable.
Which of the following aspects is MOST important when designing the TAA in this scenario?

Q35. You are testing a major enhancement to an air traffic control user interface. You have use of a sophisticated pre-production test environment, created specifically for large scale automated regression, performance and security testing. The window for regression testing is limited and must successfully conclude, with no major regressions remaining, before the non-functional testing starts.
You have been using the same version of the TAS for the last few releases, each time completing the automated regression test suite in a single overnight run. However, due to the latest enhancements for the SUT, you believe there is a risk that the test suite may no longer complete overnight and therefore delay performance and security testing.
Which option would be the BEST and MOST cost-efficient approach to mitigate this risk?

Q36. 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?

Q37. 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?
Is the test automation tool able to launch processors and execute test cases on multiple machines in different environments?
Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme that allows accessing different sets?
Does the test automation tool have a large feature set, but only part of the features will be sets?
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?

Q38. Your project is transitioning from manual to automated testing. You have decided to implement a pilot project so that lessons learned can inform future time estimates and schedules.
Which two of the following represent the types of test cases that are MOST suited to a test automation pilot project?
a) High added value test cases that require little effort to automate.
b) Test that are run infrequently as these will be simpler to automate
c) Reliability test cases that can show added value soon
d) Technically challenging test cases to provide the best validation of manual test conversion e) Tests that are least Important to the business as these are safer to trial

Q39. As the TAE, you are working with the organisation’s Test Manager to decide which external metrics and which internal metrics should be gathered for the new TAS.
Which of the following represents the BEST internal metric that would help measure the quality of the TAS and the number of problems associated with the TAS?

Q40. You are reviewing the testability of your SUT.
Which of the following BEST refers to the characteristic of OBSERVABILITY?

Q41. Your goal is to verify completeness, consistency and correct behavior of an automated test suite. The TAS has been proven to successfully install in the SUT environment. All the preliminary checks to verify the correct functioning of the automated test environment and test tool configuration, installation and setup have successfully completed.
Which of the following is NOT a relevant check for achieving your goal in this scenario?

Q42. Which of the following CORRECTLY describes how automation SHOULD be applied to confirmation testing?

Q43. 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?

Q44. Which of the following statements about the reuse of TAS artefacts is TRUE?

Q45. If you are tracking the frequency that a test automation code reports a defect that is not really a defect, what metric are you gathering?

Q46. Which of the following describes how a test execution report is likely to be used?

Q47. Which of the following BEST describes why it is important to separate test definition from test execution in a TAA?

Q48. 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?

Q49. You have been asked to implement test automation for a project that is not meeting its deadlines. After further analysis you discover that the manual testers are not able to keep up with the new feature testing because the regression testing is taking 75% of their time. As a result, the new features are being released with many defects and customers are complaining about the quality.
Given this information, what metric SHOULD you be tracking to show the value of test automation for this project?

Q50. You are implementing test automation for a project that has a business critical application A test execution tool is being used to run automated regression tests. The results from the test execution tool are very important and need to be 100% accurate.
You want to merge the test automation results with the test management system that also records the manual test results so that managers can make informed decisions about the progress quickly.
Which layer of the gTAA will be used to ensure the proper reporting occurs and the interfaces to the test management system are handled?

Q51. You identified a suitable project to pilot an automation tool and planned and conduced a pilot. The pilot has been successful and tool Is being deployed within your organization, with a plan to increase tool use by the one project at a time. During this rollout some test processes will be changed slightly to gain additional benefits from using the tool.
In the pilot project, a small set of manual tests were automated for the first time. You are currently monitoring the test automation efficiency and this reveals that the automation regime for the tests is not yet mature.
Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Q52. 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.
