ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineering CTAL-TAE (Syllabus v2.0) 認定 CTAL-TAE_V2 試験問題:

1. Some automated regression test scripts run by a TAS in a given test environment make calls to private APIs that require authentication for all requests (the authentication method is the same for all APIs). The SUT is a business-critical system. The following two changes are planned: a change in the authentication method of all APIs and a minor upgrade of the OS (Operating System) in the test environment. You have updated the test scripts to cope with the change in the API authentication method. Which of the following sequences of activities is BEST to ensure that the test scripts are not adversely affected by these changes?

A) First implement the change in the API authentication method, then upgrade the OS, and finally run all the updated test scripts
B) Implement one change at a time and run a subset of the updated test scripts after each change
C) Implement one change at a time and run a subset of the updated test scripts after each change, and finally run all the updated test scripts
D) First upgrade the OS, then implement the change in the API authentication method, and finally run all the updated test scripts

2. Which of the following statements about a test progress report produced for an automated test suite is TRUE?

A) The content of the test progress report should not be affected by the stakeholders to whom the report is intended
B) The test progress report should indicate, for each test in the suite, the timestamps related to the test steps
C) The test progress report should indicate, for each test in the suite, the start and end timestamps of the test
D) The test progress report should indicate the test environment in which the tests were performed

3. You are evaluating the best approach to implement automated tests at the UI level for a web app. Specifically, your goal is to allow test analysts to write automated tests in tabular format, within files that encapsulate logical test steps related to how a user interacts with the web UI, along with the corresponding test data. These steps must be expressed using natural language words that represent the actions performed by the user on the web UI. These files will then be interpreted and executed by a test execution tool. Which of the following approaches to test automation is BEST suited to achieve your goal?

A) Linear scripting
B) Keyword-driven testing
C) Data-driven testing
D) Test-driven development

4. In a first possible implementation, the automated test scripts within a suite locate and interact with elements of a web UI indirectly through the browsers using browser-specific drivers and APIs, provided by an automated test tool used as part of the TAS. In an alternative implementation, these test scripts locate and interact with elements of the same web UI directly at the HTML level by accessing the DOM (Document Object Model) and internal JavaScript code. The first possible implementation:

A) Has the same level of intrusion as the alternative implementation, and therefore the risk of test scripts producing false positives is the same in both cases
B) Has a higher level of intrusion than the alternative implementation, and therefore its test scripts are less likely to produce false positives
C) Has a lower level of intrusion than the alternative implementation, and therefore its test scripts are more likely to produce false positives
D) Has a lower level of intrusion than the alternative implementation, and therefore its test scripts are less likely to produce false positives

5. You have been tasked with adding the execution of build verification tests to the current CI/CD pipeline used in an Agile project. The goal of these tests is to verify the stability of daily builds and ensure that the most recent changes have not altered core functionality. Currently, the first activity performed as part of this pipeline is the static source code analysis. Which of the following stages in the pipeline would you add the execution of these smoke tests to?

A) After deploying the new build to the test environment and before performing more extensive testing
B) After performing static analysis on the source code and before generating the new build
C) As a first activity, before performing static source code analysis and before generating the new build
D) As a final activity, immediately before releasing the new build into production
