ISTQB CT-TAE 問題集

質問 1：
You are executing the first test run of a test automation suite of 200 tests. All the relevant information related to the state of the SUT and to the automated test execution is stored in a small database. During the Automated test run you observe that the first 10 test pass, while an abnormal termination occurs when executing the 11th test. This test does not complete its execution and the overall execution of the suite is aborted. An immediate analysis of the abnormal termination is expected to be time consuming and you have been asked to produce a detailed report of the execution results for the first test run, as soon as possible.
What is the MOST important FIRST step to be taken immediately after the abnormal occurred when executing the 11th test?
A. Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 1st test.
B. Take a backup of the database in its current state. So It can be analyzed later
C. Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 12th test
D. Return the database to a consistent state that allows subsequent test to run
正解：B

質問 2：
Which of the following BEST describes why it is important to separate test definition from test execution in a TAA?
A. It allows specify test cases without being closely tied to the tool to run them against the SUT
B. It allows developing steps of the test process without being closely tied to the SUT interface.
C. It allows testers to find more defects on the SUT
D. It allow choosing different paradigms (e.g event-driven) for the interaction TAS and SUT

質問 3：
Your project is transitioning from manual to automated testing. You have decided to implement a pilot project so that lessons learned can inform future time estimates and schedules.
Which two of the following represent the types of test cases that are MOST suited to a test automation pilot project?
a) High added value test cases that require little effort to automate.
b) Test that are run infrequently as these will be simpler to automate
c) Reliability test cases that can show added value soon
d) Technically challenging test cases to provide the best validation of manual test conversion e) Tests that are least Important to the business as these are safer to trial
A. a and b
B. b and d
C. a and c
D. c and e

質問 4：
Which of the following CORRECTLY describes how automation SHOULD be applied to confirmation testing?
A. Confirmation tests should only be automated if they fail to pass on the first attempt
B. A confirmation test should only be automated after it has been run manually
C. Confirmation tests are not good candidates for automation as they are not designed to run many times
D. Confirmation tests can be automated and incorporated into an automated regression suite to show whether defects that were previously fixed reoccur

質問 5：
Your organisation has successfully implemented a Test Automaton Solution (TAS) for a new project which has since been delivered into production via a number of sprints. A series of maintenance releases are now planned.
Some improvements were made to the Test Automation Architecture (TAA) as a result of feedback from the early sprints. The TAA improvements affected the TA, and the TAS was changed for the final sprint.
The new version of the TAS was generally well received but some performance and usability issues were encountered with the TAS which have yet to be addressed.
The test automation engineers supporting the maintenance releases must decide whether to use the enhanced TAS or the version that was used successfully for previous sprints.
What is the BEST action to take next?
A. Perform an analysis of risks versus benefits for the enhanced TAS and then decide which version to use.
B. Use the new version because, despite some issues, it works, and the live system should not be tested using a different TAS.
C. Use the previous version because this was proven to work. It will be too risky to use the new version, with unresolved issues, for a live system.
D. Use the new version of the TAS for the first maintenance release on a trial basis. If issues are encountered, switch to the previous version for later releases until the issues are resolved.

質問 6：
You are working as a TAE for a company who are re-designing their website. The new website provides information for customers and there are two minor features being developed:
1) Request a newsletter
2) Ability to contact the organisation with a question or comment
The website must be "mobile friendly" and available on all major web browsers.
You have been tasked to provide an automated solution for web browsers only and to concentrate on the two minor features.
What would be a KEY challenge with automation in this context?
A. Automation might not be possible on the mobile devices.
B. A low level of intrusion is likely from use of existing UI elements, but depending on the solution this might be more complex than a higher level of intrusion.
C. Because there is a high level of intrusion there may be many false alarms.
D. The benefits of automation might not be achieved for many years due to the complexities of the SUT and automation solution.

質問 7：
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 or impossible to execute manually
D. The ability to enable a better use of skilled testers by freeing them from repetitive and boring tasks
正解：B

質問 8：
You have investigated a new tool which enables the modelling of the SUT and can then generate test cases either manually or automatically. You have convinced your managers that the best way forward is to conduct a pilot project for this tool. You need to select a project to use for the pilot. You have the choice of the following projects:
Project A: A two-year project that is critical to the business and is currently in the requirement phase. This project is for a new e-commerce web site and is mostly being developed "in-house" although the payment system is being developed and delivered by a 3rd party provider.
Project B: A safety critical application for software to drive and park cars.
Project C: An upgrade to an important HR timesheet tracking application that will be available on a desktop and mobile application. This is a 1-month project developed in-house.
Project D The payment system from project A.
Which project would be BEST for the pilot?
A. Project A because it is a large project and has high visibility and is in the requirement phase.
B. Project B because it is a safety critical system and has high visibility.
C. Project C because it is a short, low priority project but is important.
D. Project D because it is a small part of a larger project and will help show the tool's capabilities.
