BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level: Test Automation Engineer Sample Questions:

Question 1

A SUT has an existing automated test suite.
Which of the following statements relating to the introduction of new features in the SUT is TRUE?

A. The test automation engineer should work with the business analysts to ensure the new feature is testable
B. It is generally more difficult to automate test cases for a new feature as the developmenthas not yet started
C. Automated tests are not affected by the introduction of a new feature and running them against the new SUT is a waste of effort
D. The introduction of a new feature could require updates or additions to the testware components

Question 2

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?
* The configuration of the TAS uses automated installation scripts
* 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

A. A and e
B. B and c
C. B and d
D. A and d

Question 3

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

A. The ability to run more tests in less time and therefore to make it possible to run them more often
B. The ability to find more defects with the same tests, compared to executing the same test manually
C. The ability to perform tests which would be difficult orimpossible to execute manually
D. The ability to enable a better use of skilled testers by freeing them from repetitive and boring tasks

Question 4

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

Question 5

As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be for several projects within yourorganization. The projects require that tool to work effectively and efficiently with SUT's in distributed environments. The test automated tool also needs to interface with other existing test tools (test management tool and defect tracking tool.) The existing test tools subject to planned updates and their interface to the test automated tool may not work property after these updates.
Which of the following are the two LEAST important concerns related to the evaluation of the test automation in this scenario?
* Is the test automation tool able to launch processors and execute test cases on multiple machines in different environments?
* Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme that allows accessing different sets?
* Does the testautomation tool have a large feature set, but only part of the features will be sets?
* Do the release notes for the planned updates on existing specify the impacts on their interfaces to other tools?
Does the test automation tool need to install specific libraries that could impact the SUT?

A. A and C
B. C and D
C. A and E
D. B and E
