Free CT-TAE Exam Questions - Easiest Way for Success

You are getting ready to create test automation for a contract management system. Presently, the data is replicated from production quarterly and the testers query the database to find contracts with the proper parameters for their tests (expired contracts, contracts nearing expiration, etc.).

Which of the following automation suitability criteria is influenced by this data issue?

You identified a suitable project to pilot an automation tool and planned and conduced a pilot. The pilot has been successful and tool Is being deployed within your organization, with a plan to increase tool use by the one project at a time. During this rollout some test processes will be changed slightly to gain additional benefits from using the tool. In the pilot project, a small set of manual tests were automated for the first time. You are currently monitoring the test automation efficiency and this reveals that the automation regime for the tests is not yet mature. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

As a TAE you are evaluating a functional test automation tool that will be used for managing several projects within your organization. Such projects will require the tool to work effectively and efficiently with SUTs in distributed environments. The test automation tool has also to interface with other test tools (test management tool and defect tracking tool) already in place. These test tools will be subjected to planned updates and their interface to the test automation tool could not work properly after these updates.

Based only on the given information, which of the following are the two least important concerns related to the evaluation of the test automation tool in this scenario? (Choose two.)

Two years ago, you deployed a TAS that has been working well with the SUT. This TAS used test data replicated from production that consisted of various customer support contracts each with a particular setting that was being tested (such as standard response times, part replacement policy, etc.). Because these contracts never expired, the data could be used by the test automation with known expected results. A change has recently been made which causes the contracts to expire after 90 days, at which time they must be renewed with updated terms. Expired contracts cannot be used for testing.

You have decided the best way to handle this data change is to query the database for the appropriate contracts and then create a table of the contracts to be used by the test automation. In this way, the scripts will require only minimal changes and the solution will be more flexible.

Given this information, where should this change be implemented to provide the highest level of maintainability?
