Which of the following statements does NOT describe good practice for maintaining the TAS?

• A. The TAS must separate the test scripts from the environment in which it runs and from the associated harnesses and artefacts
• B. The TAS must be under configuration management, along with the test suite, the testware artefacts and the test environment in which it runs
• C. The TAS must consist of components that can be easily replaced without affecting the overall behavior of the TAS itself
• D. The TAS must run in the development environment because development and programming knowledge are required for its maintainability

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. The introduction of a new feature could require updates or additions to the testware components
• D. Automated tests are not affected by the introduction of a new feature and running them against the new SUT is a waste of effort

You have been asked to automate a set of functional tests at system Test level via the CLI of the SUT for the first release of a software system. The automated tests will be delivered to the learn in change of maintenance testing, who will use them for part of the regression testing. They have the following requirements.
1. The automated tests must be as fast and cheap to maintain as possible
2. The cost of adding new automated tests must be as low as possible
3. The automated tests must have a high level of independence from the tool itself Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable?

• A. Data-driven scripting
• B. Structure scripting
• C. Keyword-driven scripting
• D. Linear scripting

A regression test suite consist of 500 test cases which are allexecuted manually. The business case for a pilot project is based on the adoption of test automation using a commercial tool that will reduce the execution time by a factor of 90% for 100% of the tests in the regression test suite. The pilot project lastedone month ( as planned) and you are currently its results. At the end of the pilot project, 40% of the regression tests have been automated and their execution time has been reduce by 60%.
Which of the following statements is TRUE in this scenario?

• A. Theduration of the pilot project was too short -it should last unit the success factors are achieved
• B. The target defined for the business case is too accurate -it should not be measureable
• C. The project selected for the pilot is too critical -if should not be too critical or too trivial
• D. The target defined for the business case seems difficult to hit - it should be realistic
