Consider a TAS deployed into production. The SUT is a web application and the test suite consists of a set of automated regression tests developed via GUI. A keyword-driven framework has been adopted for automating the regression tests. The tests are based on identification at low-levels of the web page components (e.g class indexes, tab sequence indexes and coordinates) in the next planned release the SUT will be subject to significant corrective maintenance (bug-fixes) and evolution (new features) Maintenance costs to update the test scripts should be as low as possible and the scripts must be highly reusable.
Which of the following statements is most likely to be TRUE?

• A. False positive errors are likely to occur when running the automated tests on the new releases without modifying the test
• B. The total execution time of the automated regression test suite will decrease for each planned release.
• C. The keyword-driven framework introduces a level abstraction that is too high and makes it difficult what really happens
• D. The keyword-driven framework is not suitable, it would be better to adopt a structured-scripting approach

Your TAS has been running successfully on a Windows/GUI based SUT for some years. The SUT has undergone minimal change over the years to maintain business as usual, deploying six-monthly releases for minor enhancements and bug fixes using a waterfall lifecycle.
The TAS has not changed at all during this period. The current project for the SUT will be using the Scrum methodology to deliver a more modern, competitive, user interface. It is in the release planning stage with an agreed release backlog and set of sprints outlined.
The move from lengthy waterfall releases to shorter sprints has led you to conduct a review of the current TAS to make sure it is robust and fully optimised for the timescale challenges of the new project.
What two steps would be BEST to undertake during the review?
a) Ensure that new automation code is using the same naming conventions as existing code.
b) Perform a full regression run in Sprint 1 to identify what improvements could be made to the TAS for future sprints.
c) Ensure that the TAS is using the latest libraries for the operating system.
d) Review the functions that act upon the controls for the GUI for possible consolidation.
e) Involve the test team to see what ease-of-use improvements they would like to see made to the TAS.

• A. b and c
• B. d and e
• C. c and d
• D. a and b

If model-based testing has been selected for the overall test automation approach for a project, how does that influence the layers of the TAA?

• A. All layers are used, but the test generation layer will be automated based on the defined model
• B. There will be no need for the execution layer
• C. No adaptation will be needed because the interfaces will be defined by the model
• D. There will be no need to design the tests for the API because those will be covered by the model

Consider the following example of TAS metrics.
Time to execute automated tests
Speed and efficiency of TAS components
Which of the following statements is TRUE?

• A. A is and external TAS metric and b is an internal TAS metric
• B. A is an internal TAS metric and B is an external TAS metric
• C. A and b are both external TAS metric
• D. A and B are both internal TAS metrics

When if the BEST time for automation to consider legal and/or standard requirements for a SUT?

• A. When designing a TAA
• B. When designing a TAF
• C. When developing a TAS
• D. When implementing the SUT
