Free ISTQB CT-TAE Exam Questions

Question 1

Which of the following is a characteristic of a SUT that has been designed for testability?

A : Interfaces that could be used to change or control the SUT are protected and not accessible.

B : Interfaces between components are masked so that results can be viewed but inputs cannot be altered.

C : Interfaces in the form of stubs are included in the production code that can be used by the test automation to exercise error states.

D : Interfaces are provided that allow the test automation to check the system behavior that results from a tested stimulus.

Answer: D

Question 2

As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be used for managing several projects within your organization. Such projects will require the tool to work effectively and efficiently with SUTs in distributed environments. The test automation tool has also to interface with other test tools (test management tool and defect tracking tool) already in place. These test tools will be subjected to planned updates and their interface to the test automation tool could not work properly after these updates.

Based only on the given information, which of the following are the two least important concerns related to the evaluation of the test automation tool in this scenario? (Choose two.)

A : Is the test automation tool able to launch processes and execute test cases on multiple machines?

B : Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme that allows accessing different feature sets?

C : Is the test automation tool able to log the test results on multiple machines back to a central location?

D : Do the release notes for the planned updates specify the impacts on the interface with the test automation tool?

E : Does the test automation tool need to install specific libraries that could impact the SUT?

Answer: B,E

Question 3

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?

A : approach used for deployed this tool is aligned to the standard success factor for deployment

B : pilot project should have been critical so that maximum benefits were delivered

C : target defined for the project was inappropriate, because the automation regime for the automated tests at the end of the pilot is not yet mature.

D : test process should be radically changed to gain additional benefits from using the tool.

Answer: A

Question 4

Your company is new to test automation and as TAE. you have designed a TAS which successfully supports the SUT for the current project. There are other systems currently in operation which have been tested manually and more systems are planned over the coming years. Based on this success, your company requires test automation be rolled out to other current and future SUTs with consistency being a key objective. Which of the following is the BEST way to achieve that?

A : ign a new TAS for each SUT, and manage each one through a dedicated automation support team.

B : tall the current TAS into a central repository so that other tests on different SUTs use the same version of the TAS.

C : eck for correct connectivity to internal and external systems to ensure that the TAS has been installed and configured correctly for each SUT.

D : velop a tool that keeps track of automation failures across the different SUTs and produces regular reports to stakeholders.

Answer: B

Question 5

A web application was released into production one year ago, it has regular release which follow a V-model lifecycle and testing is well-established and fully integration into the development lifecycle. You have been asked to implement a TAS for the regression test suite. The regression tests have been developed via the GUI and are expected to be run at least four times a month, for each planned release, for the whole operation solution life of thesystem (six years). Each screen of the GUI uses several third-party controls which are not compatible with the existing automation solutions. The environment for the automation will be stable, fully controllable and separated from other environments (development, staging, production). What could be the MOST problematic for this TAS?

A : turity of the test process

B : mplexity to automate

C : equency of use

D : tainability of the automated environment

Answer: D
