ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineering CTAL-TAE (Syllabus v2.0) Sample Questions:

1. A CI/CD pipeline consists of two phases: build and deployment. The build phase, among other activities, runs automated test cases at the following test levels: Component Testing (CT) and Component Integration Testing (CIT). If the build phase is successful, the deployment phase is started. The deployment phase first provisions the test environment infrastructure needed to deploy the SUT, then deploys the SUT to this environment, and finally triggers another separate pipeline that runs automated test cases at the following test levels: System Testing (ST) and Acceptance Testing (AT). Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A) Both automated test cases for CT-CIT and ST-AT can act as quality gates
B) Neither automated test cases for CT-CIT nor automated test cases for ST-AT can act as quality gates
C) Automated test cases for CT-CIT cannot act as quality gates, while automated test cases for ST-AT can act as quality gates
D) Automated test cases for CT-CIT can act as quality gates, while automated test cases for ST-AT cannot act as quality gates

2. The last few runs for a suite of automated keyword-driven tests on a SUT were never completed. The test where the run was aborted was not the same between runs. Currently, it is not possible to identify the root cause of these aborts, but only determine that test execution aborted when exceptions (e.g., NullPointerException, OutOfMemoryError) occurred on the SUT by analyzing its log files. Test execution log files are currently generated, in HTML format, by the TAS as follows: all expected logging data is logged for each keyword in intermediate log files. This data is then inserted into the final log file only for keywords that fail, while only a configurable subset of that data is logged for keywords that execute successfully. Which of the following actions (assuming it is possible to perform all of them) would you take FIRST to help find the root cause of the aborts?

A) Use appropriate colors to effectively visually highlight different types of information in the test execution log files
B) Log all expected logging data in the final test execution log file, not only for keywords that fail, but also for keywords that execute successfully
C) Split the generated log file into smaller parts, load them into external files that are loaded into the browser in transparent mode when needed
D) Log the stack trace and amount of memory available to the SUT at the start and end of each test in the suite, in the SUT log files

3. You have agreed with your organization's managers to conduct a pilot project to introduce test automation.
Managers' expectations about the benefits of automation are too optimistic. Which of the following is LEAST relevant when deciding the scope of the pilot project's objectives?

A) Evaluate the suitability of different test automation tools based on the technology stack used by the applications for which the automated tests will be developed
B) Evaluate the performance of an organization's network infrastructure in terms of factors such as availability, bandwidth, latency, packet loss, and jitter
C) Evaluate the potential cost savings and benefits (e.g., faster test execution, better test coverage) of using automated testing versus manual testing
D) Evaluate the knowledge and skills of people who will be involved in automating test cases for applicable test automation frameworks and technologies

4. An API's response to a request made to the corresponding endpoint should return some specific data about a payment transaction in JSON format. In particular, your goal is to write the test automation code, keeping it as short as possible, aimed at determining whether that response includes certain properties (transaction_id, amount, status, timestamp) with the data types and formats expected. Assuming that the TAF provides all the necessary support to validate the specified API response, how would you BEST achieve your goal?

A) Write a single assertion for each property to check whether the data types and formats for that property are as expected in the actual response
B) Specify the schema for the expected response data (properties, data types, and formats) and validate the actual response data against this schema
C) Write custom code that parses the actual response data and checks whether the extracted properties, data types, and formats are as expected
D) Use an artificial intelligence algorithm based on machine learning and image recognition to implement a self-healing capability

5. A SUT (SUT1) is a client-server system based on a thin client. The client is primarily a display and input interface, while the server provides almost all the resources and functionality of the system. Another SUT (SUT2) is a client-server system based on a fat client that relies little on the server and provides most of the resources and functionality of the system. A given TAS is used to implement automated tests on both SUT1 and SUT2. The main objective of the TAS is to cover as many system functionalities as possible through automated tests executed as fast as possible. Which of the following statements about the automation solution is BEST in this scenario?

A) The TAS should support mainly server-side automation for both SUT1 and SUT2
B) The TAS should support mainly server-side automation for SUT1 and client-side automation for SUT2
C) The TAS should support mainly client-side automation for SUT1 and server-side automation for SUT2
D) The TAS should support mainly client-side automation for both SUT1 and SUT2
