In order to achieve re-use of a TAS, where SHOULD the design for reuse occur?

You have investigated a new tool which enables the modelling of the SUT and can then generate test cases either manually or automatically. You have convinced your managers that the best way forward is to conduct a pilot project for this tool. You need to select a project to use for the pilot. You have the choice of the following projects:
Project A: A two-year project that is critical to the business and is currently in the requirement phase. This project is for a new e-commerce web site and is mostly being developed “in-house” although the payment system is being developed and delivered by a 3rd party provider.
Project B: A safety critical application for software to drive and park cars.
Project C: An upgrade to an important HR timesheet tracking application that will be available on a desktop and mobile application. This is a 1-month project developed in-house.
Project D: The payment system from project A.
Which project would be BEST for the pilot?

You are planning the pilot for an in-house developed Test Automation solution (TAS).
Which two of the following would be important steps to take as part of the planning process?
a) Review your organisation’s current projects and identify which one would be most suitable to pilot the TAS. b) Ensure that the developers will provide the necessary commitment for the TAS deployment activities. c) Run a series of training workshops for new users of the TAS before they are asked to use it. d) Develop a project plan for the pilot and reserve the necessary budget and resources for its implementation. e) Ask the developers to provide any missing functionality during the deployment activities.

You have inherited a TAS that is working well. It uses keyword-driven scripting and was well architected. The automation architect who built the system has now moved on to another company. The TAS is working across several projects and has a multiple library of keywords, categorized by project. The individual project teams maintain these keyword scripts.
Based only on the given information, what is the MOST significant risk for the TAS?

Your organisation has successfully implemented a Test Automaton Solution (TAS) for a new project which has since been delivered into production via a number of sprints. A series of maintenance releases are now planned.
Some improvements were made to the Test Automation Architecture (TAA) as a result of feedback from the early sprints. The TAA improvements affected the TA, and the TAS was changed for the final sprint.
The new version of the TAS was generally well received but some performance and usability issues were encountered with the TAS which have yet to be addressed.
The test automation engineers supporting the maintenance releases must decide whether to use the enhanced TAS or the version that was used successfully for previous sprints.
What is the BEST action to take next?

A major component of your organisation’s Test Automation Solutions (TAS) is a popular open-source third-party capture-replay tool for automated functional testing.
Which two of the following must the Test Automation Engineer (TO) ensure happens for this TAS?
a) The third party tool is placed under configuration management control. b) The annual support and maintenance costs are agreed with the tool’s vendor. c) It is important to obtain information about updates and new versions of the tool so that the third party tool is kept up to date. d) Ensure that the TAS test scripts are integrated into the tool’s framework. e) Ensure that no changes are made to the tool, because modifications are not allowed for third party products.

As the TAE, you are working with the organisation’s Test Manager to decide which external metrics and which internal metrics should be gathered for the new TAS.
Which of the following represents the BEST internal metric that would help measure the quality of the TAS and the number of problems associated with the TAS?

You have been asked to implement test automation for a project that is not meeting its deadlines. After further analysis you discover that the manual testers are not able to keep up with the new feature testing because the regression testing is taking 75% of their time. As a result, the new features are being released with many defects and customers are complaining about the quality.
Given this information, what metric SHOULD you be tracking to show the value of test automation for this project?
