You are a TAE working for a software house which provides quarterly releases of its software to its customers. There are many different versions of the SUT that need to be tested simultaneously by different tests teams.
Your TAS is complex and you need to ensure it remains consistent across the different SUT environments. What is the BEST and MOST efficient way to ensure each of the test teams use the same version of the TAS to test the different versions of the SUT?

• A.Develop a tool to track historical test results across the different SUT environments and look for trends.
• B.Install the TAS is a central repository and have an automated installation and configuration of the TAS from this repository to each of the SUT environments.
• C.Produce comprehensive documentation of the TAS, installation and usage guidelines and provide training for each team member.
• D.Due to the complexities involved and the high risks associated with these releases, it would be best to revert to manual testing.

Consider the following layers of the gTAA structure:
a. Test generation layer
b. Test definition layer
c. Test execution layer
d. Test execution layer
Consider the following capabilities associated with these layers.
Acquire all the necessary resources before each test and release all after run, in order to avoid interdependences between test Allow the automated test scripts on an abstract level to interact with components, configurations and interfaces of the SUT.
Design test directives that allow configuring the algorithms used to automatically produce the test cases a given model of the SUT.
Allow the definition and implementation of test cases and data by means of templates and/or guidelines.
Which of the following BEST matches each layer with the appropriate capability?

• A.a-4, b-3, c-2, d-1
• B.a-3, b-4, c-2, d-1
• C.a-3, b-4, c-1, d-2
• D.a-4, b-3, c-1, d-2

A defect in a SUT has been resolved and validated by an automated defect re-test in the current release of the software. This retest has now been added to the automated regression test suite.
Which statement BEST describes a reason why this defect could re-occur in future releases?

• A.Automated defect confirmation testing is not effective at confirming that the resolved defect will continue to work in future releases
• B.The configuration management process does not properly control the synchronization between software archives
• C.The automated regression test suite has a narrower scope of functionality
• D.The automated regression test suite is not run consistently for future releases.

What is NOT a factor in considering when you are asked to ensure an effective transition from manual to automated tests?

• A.Complexity to automate the manual test cases
• B.Correctness of test data and test cases
• C.The look and feel of the SUT
• D.The controllability of the SUT

You have implemented a keyword-driven scripting framework, which uses a test execution tool to run the tests. This has been in use for the past year and all of the teams now use this framework as the standard approach for test execution.
The teams all work on different aspects of the SUT and they have all experienced significant benefits in the use of this scripting framework. However, on closer examination, you have discovered that there are numerous instances where the teams have the same functionality to test but are using different keywords.
One of your objectives for improvement is to create consistency among the teams.
What is the BEST way to handle this situation?

• A.Move to a model-based approach to scripting where the models include the keywords.
• B.Do nothing, each team are working in isolation and they are all experiencing significant benefits in the way they are currently working.
• C.Provide each team with a set of guidelines and naming conventions for keywords.
• D.Create a central library of keywords and associated definitions for each team to use.
