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?
Which of the following metrics could suggest, under certain condition that an automated regression test suite has NOT been updated for new functionalities added to the SUT?
You are working on a TAS for standalone application. The automated tests are developed based on a automation framework that allows interaction with GUI elements using on object orientated API. The GUI elements include menus, buttons, radio buttons, text toolbars and their properties.
Whilst automating a test, you have discovered that the GUI elements of some third party components are not identifiable by the automated tool you are using.
Which of the following is the FIRST stepthat you take to investigate this issue?
Consider a SUT that small run on multiple platform during the execution of automated test runs. In each test run an automated test suite needs to be executed, with the same version of the TAF, against the sameversion of the SUT of each platform. Each platform shall have its own dedicated test environment. Your goal is to implement a process as automated as possible ( i.e with minimal manual intervention) that allows implementing a consistent setup of the TAS across the multiple test environments.
Which two of the following aspects are MOST relevant for achieving your goal in this scenario?
* The configuration of the TAS uses automated installation scripts
* The TAF saves the logs needed to debug errors in XML format
C) Features of the TAF not used by the automated tests have been tested D) All the automated test cases contain the expected results E) The TAS components are under configuration management
What is NOT a factor in considering when you are asked to ensure an effective transition from manual to automated tests?
