Which of the following is NOT an advantage of test automation?

A. The ability to perform tests which would be difficult or impossible to execute manually

B. The ability to run more tests in less time and therefore to make it possible to run them more often

C. The ability to find more defects with the same tests, compared to executing the same test manually

D. The ability to enable a better use of skilled testers by freeing them from repetitive and boring tasks

Which of the following statements BEST describe aspects of the SUT to consider when designing a TAA?

A. All the interaction between SUT and TAS should be logged with the highest level of detail

B. All the internal test interfaces of the SUT should be removed prior to the product release

C. All the interface of the SUT affected by the tests should be controllable by the TAA

D. All the external test interfaces of the SUT should be removed prior to the product release

A regression test suite consist of 500 test cases which are all executed manually. The business case for a pilot project is based on the adoption of test automation using a commercial tool that will reduce the execution time by a factor of 90% for 100% of the tests in the regression test suite. The pilot project lasted one month ( as planned) and you are currently its results. At the end of the pilot project, 40% of the regression tests have been automated and their execution time has been reduce by 60%. Which of the following statements is TRUE in this scenario?

A. The duration of the pilot project was too short 璱t should last unit the success factors are achieved

B. The target defined for the business case is too accurate 璱t should not be measureable

C. The project selected for the pilot is too critical 璱f should not be too critical or too trivial

D. The target defined for the business case seems difficult to hit ?it should be realistic

Which of the following attributes should NOT be included in a test execution report associated with a suite of automated tests?

A. Summary of the test execution results

B. System/Application under test and its version

C. Defect clusters identified during test execution

D. Environment in which the tests have been executed

Consider a TAS that exclusively uses the APIs of a SUT. To make this work, significant changes have been required to the SUT by adding a set of dedicated test interfaces to the APIs. All the automated tests will use these test interfaces when interacting with the SUT. Assume that you are currently verifying the correctness of the automated test environment and test tool setup. Which of the following would you expect to be the MOST specific risk associated with this scenario?

A. The connectivity from the TAS to the dedicated test interfaces will not work

B. The process of configuring the TAS will be error-phone due to manual intervention

C. The automated test cases will not contain the expected result

D. False alarms, that are unlikely to occur in the real world, will be observed during testing
