NEW QUESTION # 55
Consider a TAS that is going to be deployed for the first time. The TAS requires share resources and run it its own test environment. The infrastructure for the TAS has been created along with maintenance procedures. It is very unlikely the TAS will be required to work in other target Environments. There is a high-risk that when the TAS is deployed in its own test environment, a number of existing application will no longer work because of conflicts with the existing shared resources.
Which of the following activities would you expect to be MOST effective at mitigating the risk associated with the first deployment of the TAS?
- A. Testing the TAS for its ability to be implemented in other target test environments.
- B. Testing the TAS for application compatibility issues in the target environment
- C. Testing the TAS for ITS ability to run a shared test environment
- D. Testing the TAS for regressions due to optimization that fix non-functional issues.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 56
Consider a TAS that exclusively uses the APIs of a SUT. To make this work, significant changes have been required to the SUT by adding a set of dedicated test interfaces to the APIs. All the automated tests will use these test interfaces when interacting with the SUT. Assume that you are currently verifying the correctness of the automated test environment and test tool setup.
Which of the following would you expect to be the MOST specific risk associated with this scenario?
- A. The automated test cases will not contain the expected result
- B. False alarms, that are unlikely to occur in the real world, will be observed during testing
- C. The process of configuring the TAS will be error-phone due to manual intervention
- D. The connectivity from the TAS to the dedicated test interfaces will not work
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 57
A TAS uses a commercial test automation tool and the default logs generated by the inconsistent formats such as different types of messages (pass/fail steps, screenshots, warnings, etc.) To solve this issue some custom logging functions have been created from the test scripts, making it possible to log the different types of messages with the same format. However, this may cause a problem due to excessive size of the logs which can make it difficult to find the required information. Assume that all the default logs will be disabled when running the automated tests and that some tests will not generate excessively sized logs.
Which of the following represents the BEST suggestion for implementing the custom logging functions?
- A. Implement the custom logging functions to redirect the logs to multiple files
- B. Implement the custom logging functions without saving timestamps
- C. Implement the custom logging functions to support different levels of tracing
- D. Implement the custom logging functions without saving stack traces
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 58
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?
- A. A and E
- B. A and C
- C. B and E
- D. C and D
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 59
Your organisation has successfully implemented a Test Automaton Solution (TAS) for a new project which has since been delivered into production via a number of sprints. A series of maintenance releases are now planned.
Some improvements were made to the Test Automation Architecture (TAA) as a result of feedback from the early sprints. The TAA improvements affected the TA, and the TAS was changed for the final sprint.
The new version of the TAS was generally well received but some performance and usability issues were encountered with the TAS which have yet to be addressed.
The test automation engineers supporting the maintenance releases must decide whether to use the enhanced TAS or the version that was used successfully for previous sprints.
What is the BEST action to take next?
- A. Use the new version because, despite some issues, it works, and the live system should not be tested using a different TAS.
- B. Perform an analysis of risks versus benefits for the enhanced TAS and then decide which version to use.
- C. Use the new version of the TAS for the first maintenance release on a trial basis. If issues are encountered, switch to the previous version for later releases until the issues are resolved.
- D. Use the previous version because this was proven to work. It will be too risky to use the new version, with unresolved issues, for a live system.
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 60

NEW QUESTION # 62
You are implementing a TAS for a system that has been live for over three years, using a hybrid waterfall and agile lifecycle. Live updates are made on a monthly basis.
There is no test team, with developers designing and executing unit and integration tests with some degree of automation and business analysts designing and executing manual tests at the system level. No formal test process exists, although the system has proved relatively stable for most of the time.
Unfortunately, the last two monthly releases were problematic with regression defects found in production. Your priority is the automation of functional regression tests at the system level, the budget for this has been approved by project stakeholders.
The Business Analysts have identified which test cases are most suitable for regression. You must use the organisation's long standing commercial automation tool which has passed a proof of concept in the platform for the system in question.
Which of the following suitability criteria needs the MOST attention for the TAS?
- A. Technical planning in support of ROI analysis
- B. Compatibility and tool support
- C. Frequency of use.
- D. Maturity of the test process
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 63

NEW QUESTION # 70
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. Analyse the regression test suite and remove test coverage duplication and redundancy.
- C. Create a mirror of the pre-production test environment and split the regression test suite to run in parallel across the environments.
- D. Split the regression test suite into multiple parts, running in the environment across consecutive nights.
