The Test Automation Manager has asked you to provide a solution for collecting metrics from the TAS that measures code coverage every time the automated regression test pack is run. The metrics must be trend based to ensure that the scope of the regression test pack continues to reflect enhancements made to the SUT - coverage must not drop and should ideally increase. The solution must be as automated as possible to avoid unnecessary manual overheads and errors.
Which of the following approaches would BEST meet these requirements?

• A. The automated testware would record overall code coverage for each run, export the data to a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet that automatically updates a trend analysis bar chart for you to distribute to stakeholders.
• B. The automated testware would record overall code coverage for each run and add the figure to a new row in a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet. You would then present the spreadsheet to stakeholders so they could look for changes in coverage.
• C. The automated testware would record the pass/fail rate of each regression test case, export the data to a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet that automatically updates a trend analysis success rate bar chart and emails it to stakeholders.
• D. Test automation cannot measure code coverage for the SUT, only the code for the automation tools and scripts. The automated test cases would need to be run manually with a code coverage and reporting tool running in the background.

What are the four horizontal layers of the gTAA?

• A. Test definition, test execution, test reporting, test adaptation
• B. Test generation, test definition, test execution, test adaptation
• C. Test generation, test execution, test definition, test APIs
• D. Test adaptation, test execution, test design, test definition

You have been asked to develop test automation for a legacy system that is going to go through a series of infrastructure migrations. The scripts will be used to verify basic functionality during these infrastructure changes Your Test Analysts have some programming skills and need a solution that is simple and fast.
Maintainability of the scripts is not a consideration because no changes to the software are anticipated.
Which of the following is the BEST scripting approach in this situation?

• A. Capture-replay scripting
• B. Model-Based scripting
• C. Linear scripting
• D. Structured scripting

Which of the following statement about the implementation of automated regression testing is FALSE?

• A. When automating regression tests, the initialization steps set the test preconditions should be automated wherever possible
• B. When automating regression tests, the corresponding manual tests should have already been executed to verify they operate correctly
• C. When automating regression tests, consideration should be given to how much time would be saved by automation
• D. When automating regression tests, the structure of automated tests must always be the same as the corresponding manual tests

You are working on a web-based application called Book Vault that allows people to upload books and order books. This application must be available on all major browsers.
You have been testing the application manually and management have asked you to consider automating some of the tests.
You have investigated a number of commercial and free tools which can automate tests at a web browser level and one tool in particular meets your requirements and you have implemented a trial version.
You have basic programming skills and the main goal is to automate a few functional tests to see if the tool is compatible with the application and can recognise the objects and controls.
Which scripting technique would be MOST suitable in this scenario in order to meet the objectives?

• A. Capture-replay scripting
• B. Model-based scripting
• C. Data-driven scripting
• D. Structured scripting
