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

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

Which of the following statement about the implementation of automated regression testing is FALSE?

• A. When automating regression tests, the corresponding manual tests should have already been executed to verify they operate correctly
• B. When automating regression tests, consideration should be given to how much time would be saved by automation
• C. When automating regression tests, the structure of automated tests must always be the same as the corresponding manual tests
• D. When automating regression tests, the initialization steps set the test preconditions should be automated wherever possible

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.
Acquire all the necessary resources before each test and release all after run, in order to avoid interdependences between test Allow the automated test scripts on an abstract level to interact with components, configurations and interfaces of the SUT.
Design test directives that allow configuring the algorithms used to automatically produce the test cases a given model of the SUT.
Allow the definition and implementation of test cases and data by means of templates and/or guidelines.
Which of the following BEST matches each layer with the appropriate capability?

• A. a-3, b-4, c-1, d-2
• B. a-4, b-3, c-2, d-1
• C. a-3, b-4, c-2, d-1
• D. a-4, b-3, c-1, d-2

Which of the following statements about contract testing is TRUE?

• A. Contract testing can be viewed as a specialized form of API testing that can be applied to effectively and efficiently test integration between systems, but only if they interact synchronously
• B. Contract testing can be viewed as a specialized form of API testing that can be applied to effectively and efficiently test integration between microservices, but only if they interact with REST APIs
• C. The differences between the two approaches to contract testing stem primarily from which side creates the contract: this creation is done by the provider for the provider-driven approach and by the consumer (s) for the consumer-driven approach
• D. Contract testing, regardless of the approach chosen (provider-driven or consumer-driven) does not need to rely on the creation of stubs/mocks since it is used to implement integration testing, not unit
  /component testing

Consider a TAS associated to dynamically changing software frequent releases. Your goal is to determine the amount of effort required to maintain the automated tests of the regression test suite for each new release of the SUT.
What is the MOST important metric to collect to achieve your goal?

• A. The time it takes to execute all the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT.
• B. The code coverage achieved with the automated tests, for each new release of the SUT
• C. The number of automated tests which fail because of a single software defect, for each new release of the SUT
• D. The number of automated tests requiring maintenance, for each new release of the SUT.
