NEW QUESTION # 48
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?
- A. Introduce better coding practices for the automation scripts, including coding guidelines, reviews and improved static analysis.
- B. Create a mirror of the pre-production test environment and split the regression test suite to run in parallel across the environments.
- C. Analyse the regression test suite and remove test coverage duplication and redundancy.
- D. Split the regression test suite into multiple parts, running in the environment across consecutive nights.
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 49
You are executing the first test run of a test automation suite of 200 tests. All the relevant information related to the state of the SUT and to the automated test execution is stored in a small database. During the Automated test run you observe that the first 10 test pass, while an abnormal termination occurs when executing the 11th test. This test does not complete its execution and the overall execution of the suite is aborted. An immediate analysis of the abnormal termination is expected to be time consuming and you have been asked to produce a detailed report of the execution results for the first test run, as soon as possible.
What is the MOST important FIRST step to be taken immediately after the abnormal occurred when executing the 11th test?
- A. Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 12th test
- B. Take a backup of the database in its current state. So It can be analyzed later
- C. Return the database to a consistent state that allows subsequent test to run
- D. Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 1st test.
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 50
Consider a TAS that uses a keyword-driven framework. The SUT is a web application and there is a large set of keywords available for writing the automated tests that relate to highly specific user actions linked directly to the GUI of the SUT. The automated test written with the keywords are statically analyzed by a custom tool which highlight's repeated instances of identical sequence of keywords. The waiting mechanism implemented by the TAS for a webpage load is based on a synchronous sampling within a given timeout. The TAS allows checking a webpage load every seconds until a timeout value
- A. Establishing an error recovery process for TAS and SUT
- B. Changing the scripting approach to data-driven scripting
- C. Changing the wait mechanism to explicit hard-coded waits
- D. Implementing keywords with a higher level of granularity
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 51
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?
- A. 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
- B. 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.
- C. Do not run any tests because you can immediately confirm the correct functioning of the automated test suite
- D. Verify the behavior of the whole automated test suite by running all the automated tests
Answer: B
