The test execution time becomes longer, making it difficult to get all the tests run as often as desired

The test suite continues to grow, making source control difficult to manage

The time it takes to create new tests increases exponentially as new features are added to the code

You have been asked to supply the data file for a data-driven test automation script that will be used to test the following story:As a customer, I want to be told how many items I need to purchase, so I can receive free shipping.You have been told the automation will verify whether or not the free shipping message is displayed. Which of the following columns should appear in your data file to support the automated testing of this story?

item ID; quantity purchased; free shipping (y/n)

customer name; # items; price of items; total shipping cost

item ID; quantity purchased; free shipping (y/n)

quantity purchased; free shipping (y/n); total shipping cost

item ID; quantity purchased; free shipping (y/n); item shipping cost; total shipping cost

You have been asked to supply the list of keywords for a keyword-driven test automation script that will be used to test the following story:As a customer, I want to be able to add and delete items from my shopping cart, so that I can buy the right number of items and still get free shipping on some of the items.The automation will add and delete items from a customer's shopping cart and will then verify that the total shipping cost is correct. The test automation library has a large set of keywords that have been coded to support this e-commerce site. Which of the following is the smallest set of keywords that contains the ones needed to support testing this story?

Login, Add Item, Delete Item, View Cart, Compute Shipping

Add Item, View Cart, Compute Shipping

Login, Add Item, Delete Item, Checkout, Compute Cart Total, Compute Shipping, Complete Order

Login, Add Item, Checkout, Compute Cart Total, Compute Shipping, Complete Order

Login, Add Item, Delete Item, View Cart, Compute Shipping

What is a virtualized service?

A stateful mock service that appears to provide the same behavior and data handling as the real service without actually performing the processing

A stateless mock service that provides simple responses to requests

A software service that is developed by another organization but used in the production software as an integral part of a software product

A stateful mock service that appears to provide the same behavior and data handling as the real service without actually performing the processing

A set of simple stubs used to provide positive acknowledgements for all messages received

You are developing a test automation suite for an agile project and want to include as much coverage as possible. Unfortunately, one of the critical web services (e-commerce checkout) is not scheduled for completion until the later iterations. Which of the following would be a good option to allow you to progress with your end-to-end test automation without creating too much extra work?

Use a service virtualization tool to create a virtualized service to be used by the test automation

Write the missing web service yourself and then hand over that code to the developers for further refinement

Have the automation create a stub to replace the service for each execution and destroy the stub after execution is complete

Use a service virtualization tool to create a virtualized service to be used by the test automation

Use a service from a legacy product and integrate it with the system to allow use by the test automation

You are testing a payment processing application that calls an external service at a bank to process monetary transactions. The bank charges per transaction for the use of their service. You are creating an automation suite that will be used as part of continuous testing. How could service virtualization benefit the project if a virtualized service is created that will act in the same way as the bank application?

The virtualized service will reduce the cost of testing as there will be no transaction fees charged by the bank to use their test service

The virtualized service will be faster, and that will make the automation suite run faster

The virtualized service will reduce the cost of testing as there will be no transaction fees charged by the bank to use their test service

The virtualized service will be more secure than the bank transaction, reducing the need to security test the automation code

The virtualized service will reduce the need for data management

You are working for an organization that has implemented CI and is struggling to get the automated tests to run on each build because of time limitation. On average, there are three ad hoc builds per day, one scheduled build overnight, one scheduled build on Friday nights, and one build that is conducted on the Thursday night before the end of the sprint on the second Friday. There are four sets of tests: high priority, medium priority, low priority, and non-functional. The non-functional tests must be run in the integrated stage environment, whereas the other tests can be run in any of the test environments.In addition to just the execution time of the tests, it has also been noted that reviewing the results of the tests takes about two hours per set of tests.Given this information, which of the following is the most efficient and effective approach to test automation execution?

Run the high-priority tests on each build, the medium-priority tests every night, the low-priority tests every week, and the non-functional tests on the Thursday night before sprint end

Run all four test sets, every night

Run all the high-priority tests for every build, low-priority tests at night, and the medium-priority tests at the end of the sprint

Run all four test sets on every build

Run the high-priority tests on each build, the medium-priority tests every night, the low-priority tests every week, and the non-functional tests on the Thursday night before sprint end

According to the syllabus, which of the following is a correct statement about automation in a mission-critical system versus a non-critical system?

Automation is more important with the mission-critical system as the risk increases

Automation is less important with the non-critical system as the risk increases

Automation is at the same level for both systems as the risk increases

Automation is not recommended for the non-critical system at any risk level, but is recommended for the mission-critical system

What is the primary purpose of the debriefing meeting when exploratory testing is used in an Agile setting?

To provide a status of the progress and coverage of the session

To define the charter for the test

To provide a status of the progress and coverage of the session

To review the actions of the tester and determine if there were any errors made during the testing

Why is it important to refactor test cases to make them easier to understand?

Because they will be used as the code-under-test changes, so they need to be easy for other testers to understand and modify

Because developers need to use them for performance testing

Because they will be used as the code-under-test changes, so they need to be easy for other testers to understand and modify

Because users will apply them as use cases for UAT and need to be able to determine the main path and alternate paths

Because the observable behavior of the test case will change and the product owner needs to be able to clearly see what the behavior should be

How does static code analysis help reduce technical debt?

It can identify inefficiencies, complexities, and insecure code which can then be fixed by the developer

It can improve the efficiency of the developer as they are writing the code

It can remove the need for code reviews and speed up the development process

It can remove the need for unit tests and will help improve the efficiency of the build process

When test cases are re-run after refactoring, what should always be verified?

That they provide the same results as before

That the branch coverage is the same or increased

That they provide better logging than before

That they provide the same results as before

That tests that have now been made redundant are removed from the test set
