A major component of your organisation's Test Automaton Solution (TAS) is a popular open-source third-party capture-replay tool for automated functional testing.
Which two of the following must the Test Automation Engineer (TAE) ensure happens for this TAS?
a) The third party tool is placed under configuration management control.
b) The annual support and maintenance costs are agreed with the tool's vendor.
c) It is Important to obtain information about updates and new versions of the tool so that the third party tool is kept up to date.
d) Ensure that the TAS test scripts are integrated into the tool's framework.
e) Ensure that no changes are made to the tool, because modifications are not allowed for third party products.

• A.a and b
• B.c and d

New features have been added for the current release of a SUT.
Which action would NOT be appropriate for the TAE to perform when evaluating the impact on the TAS?

• A.Gather feedback from the Business Analysts to determine if the current TAS will meet the needs of the new features.
• B.Review existing keywords to see if they need to be modified.
• C.Run existing automated tests against the updated SUT to verify and record any changes to their correct operation.
• D.Evaluate compatibility with existing test tools and, where necessary, identify alternative solutions.

You have been asked to develop test automation for a legacy system that is going to go through a series of infrastructure migrations. The scripts will be used to verify basic functionality during these infrastructure changes Your Test Analysts have some programming skills and need a solution that is simple and fast.
Maintainability of the scripts is not a consideration because no changes to the software are anticipated.
Which of the following is the BEST scripting approach in this situation?

• A.Structured scripting
• B.Capture-replay scripting
• C.Model-Based scripting
• D.Linear scripting

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

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

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