Question #1 Topic 1

You are working as a TAE for a company who have been using a web test execution tool for a number of years. The tool has been used successfully on ten web applications in the past.
The company are developing a new web application which has a friendly User Interface, but the developers have used an object throughout the application which the tool is unable to recognise. As a result, you have no way of capturing the object or verifying the contents using the automation tool.
What is the first thing you should do about this problem?

A. See if the application can be run on a desktop and if the object can be recognised on the desktop by the tool.
B. Investigate whether the object can be recognised by other test execution tools in the market
C. Ask the developers to remove the object and replace it with some text fields
D. Ask the developers if they can change the object to something that can be recognised by the tool

Question #4 Topic 1

Your functional regression test automation suite ran successfully for the first two sprints and no failures were encountered during the runs. The automation suite records the status of each test case as either 'pass' or 'fail' and has excellent recovery capability built in.
For the third sprint, the TAS log reported several test cases with a status of 'fail'. You investigated each test case and found that most failures were due to a defect in one of the keyword scripts, rather than in the SUT. For those where the failure was in the SUT, defect reports were raised but several were returned by the developers asking for more information to enable them to reproduce the problem.
Which additional log items SHOULD you add to the TAS that would BEST improve failure analysis and defect reporting for future sprints? a) Dynamic measurement information about the SUT. b) A status of TAS error’, in additional to pass' and 'fail', for each test case. c) Use of a colour coding scheme so that 'pass’ is in red and fail' is in green. d) A counter to determine how many times each test case has been executed. e) System configuration information including software/firmware and operating system versions. f) A copy of the source code for all Keyword scripts executed.
