CTAL-TAE PDF 120 Questions

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?

  1. Structured scripting.
  2. Capture-replay scripting.
  3. Model-Based scripting.
  4. Linear scripting.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Linear scripting is best suited for quick, simple test automation when maintainability is not a priority. It involves straightforward, sequential scripting without modularization, making it ideal for short-term use like verifying basic functionality during infrastructure migrations.



If model-based testing has been selected for the overall test automation approach for a project, how does that influence the layers of the TAA?

  1. All layers are used, but the test generation layer will be automated based on the defined model.
  2. There will be no need for the execution layer.
  3. No adaptation will be needed because the interfaces will be defined by the model.
  4. There will be no need to design the tests for the API because those will be covered by the model.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In model-based testing, all layers of the Test Automation Architecture (TAA) are still required. However, the test generation layer is specifically influenced, as it is automated based on the defined model, allowing test cases to be systematically derived from it.



What is the PRIMARY advantage of using abstraction in the TAA?

  1. It makes it more flexible for future reuse and improvements.
  2. It requires a higher skill level to implement.
  3. It ensures that any scripting method will be supported.
  4. It improves the performance of the TAS.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The primary advantage of using abstraction in the Test Automation Architecture (TAA) is that it enhances flexibility for future reuse and improvements. By decoupling test logic from implementation details, abstraction allows easier updates, scalability, and adaptability to changes in the SUT or tools.



When if the BEST time for automation to consider legal and/or standard requirements for a SUT?

  1. When implementing the SUT.
  2. When designing a TAF.
  3. When designing a TAA.
  4. When developing a TAS.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The best time to consider legal and standard requirements is when designing the Test Automation Architecture (TAA). Early consideration ensures that the automation framework complies with relevant standards and legal obligations, which may influence tool selection, data handling, logging, and reporting.



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?

  1. Structured scripting.
  2. Capture-replay scripting.
  3. Data-driven scripting.
  4. Model-based scripting.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Capture-replay scripting is most suitable in this scenario because it allows quick creation of automated tests with minimal programming effort. It helps verify whether the tool can interact with the application's controls and objects, making it ideal for a trial evaluation phase.



You are working on a government system called "Making Tax Digital" or MTD for short. This system is being implemented to stop manual human input error and also to reduce fraudulent behaviour from companies when submitting their tax and VAT returns.

The key concept is that registered companies will need to use government recommended 3rd party software for their accounts and book keeping. These 3rd party applications will have a direct interface into the government's main system for transactions and submissions.

You have been using a test execution tool successfully on the project so far, and have implemented a basic "capture/replay" approach to scripting.

The management have been encouraged with the automation so far, but want the following objectives to be met:
Test cases added easily

Reduction in the amount of scripts and script duplication

Reduction in maintenance costs

Which scripting technique would be MOST suitable in this scenario in order to meet the objectives?

  1. Linear scripting.
  2. Structured scripting.
  3. Data-driven scripting.
  4. Keyword-driven scripting.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Keyword-driven scripting is most suitable for meeting the objectives of easy test case addition, reduced script duplication, and lower maintenance costs. It separates test logic from test data and uses high-level keywords, enabling reusable and modular automation that scales well for complex systems like MTD.



You are implementing test automation for a project that has a business critical application. A test execution tool is being used to run automated regression tests. The results from the test execution tool are very important and need to be 100% accurate.

You want to merge the test automation results with the test management system that also records the manual test results so that managers can make informed decisions about the progress quickly.

Which layer of the gTAA will be used to ensure the proper reporting occurs and the interfaces to the test management system are handled?

  1. The reporting layer.
  2. The logging layer.
  3. The execution layer.
  4. The adaptation layer.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The adaptation layer of the gTAA is responsible for interfacing with external systems, such as test management tools. It ensures that results from the test execution tool are properly formatted and integrated, enabling accurate and timely reporting for decision-making.



You are implementing test automation for a project and you want to be able to generate test cases automatically using a series of test design tools which use a variety of test design techniques such as decision tables, pairwise testing and boundary value analysis.

You also want to generate test data automatically which can then be used by the tests.

Initially these tests will be run manually to verify their correctness and ultimately you want to include them in the test execution tool so that they can run unattended.

Which layer of the gTAA will be used to support the specification of the test cases and preparation of the test data?

  1. The generation layer.
  2. The definition layer.
  3. The execution layer.
  4. The adaptation layer.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The definition layer of the gTAA supports the specification of test cases and the preparation of test data. It acts as the bridge between abstract test models and executable tests, ensuring that the generated test cases and data are well-structured for use in both manual and automated execution.
