Question 1

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 same version 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?

A) The configuration of the TAS uses automated installation scripts

B) 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

  1. Option A:

    A and e

  2. Option B:

    B and c

  3. Option C:

    B and d


  4. Option D:

    A and d

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

For a consistent setup of the Test Automation Suite (TAS) across multiple test environments, it is crucial to have both automated installation scripts and configuration management in place. Automated installation scripts (A) ensure that the TAS can be deployed quickly and consistently across different environments without manual intervention. Configuration management (E) ensures that all components of the TAS are tracked, version-controlled, and maintained systematically, which is essential when the same TAS version is to be used across various platforms.

Question 2

You are testing a major enhancement to an air traffic control user interface. You have use of a sophisticated pre-production test environment, created specifically for large scale automated regression, performance and security testing. The window for regression testing is limited and

must successfully conclude, with no major regressions remaining, before the non-functional testing starts.

You have been using the same version of the TAS for the last few releases, each time completing the automated regression test suite in a single overnight run. However, due to the latest enhancements for the SUT, you believe there is a risk that the test suite may no longer complete

overnight and therefore delay performance and security testing.

Which option would be the BEST and MOST cost-efficient approach to mitigate this risk?

  1. Option A:

    Create a mirror of the pre-production test environment and split the regression test suite to run in parallel across

    the environments.

  2. Option B:

    Split the regression test suite into multiple parts, running in the environment across consecutive nights.


  3. Option C:

    Analyse the regression test suite and remove test coverage duplication and redundancy.


  4. Option D:

    Introduce better coding practices for the automation scripts, including coding guidelines, reviews and improved

    static analysis.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

In the context of testing a major enhancement to an air traffic control user interface with a limited window for regression testing, the best and most cost-efficient approach to mitigate the risk of the test suite not completing overnight is to analyze the regression test suite and remove test coverage duplication and redundancy (Option C). This approach streamlines the test suite by eliminating unnecessary tests, thereby reducing the overall execution time without compromising the test coverage ' s integrity. It ensures that each test case provides unique value and that the suite as a whole is optimized for efficiency. This method does not require additional resources or environments and leverages the existing test suite and infrastructure, making it a cost-efficient solution to address the potential delay in starting performance and security testing due to extended regression test durations.
