Free BCS TAE Exam Dumps Questions & Answers

You are reviewing the testability of your SUT.
Which of the following BEST refers to the characteristic of OBSERVABILITY?

• A.  The ability of the SUT to prevent unauthorized access to its components or data.
• B.  The abilityto identify states, outputs, intermediate result and error messages in the SUT
• C.  The ability of the SUTto perform its intended function for a specified period of time
• D.  The ability to exercise the SUT by entering inputs, triggering events and invoking methods

Which of the following statements does NOT describe good practice for maintaining the TAS?

• A.  The TAS must separate the test scripts from the environment in which it runs and from the associated harnesses and artefacts
• B.  The TAS must consist of components that can be easily replaced without affecting the overall behavior of the TAS itself
• C.  The TAS must run in the development environment because development and programming knowledge are required for its maintainability
• D.  The TAS must be under configuration management, along with the test suite, the testware artefacts and the test environment in which it runs

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.
Inthe 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 isTRUE?

• A.  The test process should be radically changed to gain additional benefits from using the tool.
• B.  The 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.
• C.  The approach used for deployed this tool is aligned to the standard success factor for deployment
• D.  The pilot project should have been critical so that maximum benefits were delivered

Which of the following metrics could suggest, under certain condition that an automated regression test suite has NOT been updated fornew functionalities added to the SUT?

• A.  The defect density in the automation code of the regression test suite.
• B.  The ratio of commands to executable statements in the automation code of the regression test suite
• C.  The SUT code coverage provided by the execution of the regression test suite.
• D.  The ratio of comments to executable statements in the SUT code.

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.  Do not run any tests because you can immediately confirm the correct functioning of the automated test suite
• C.  Verify the behavior of the whole automated test suite by running all the automated tests
• D.  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.
