You are working on a TAS for standalone application. The automated tests are developed based on a automation framework that allows interaction with GUI elements using on object orientated API. The GUI elements include menus, buttons, radio buttons, text toolbars and their properties.
Whilst automating a test, you have discovered that the GUI elements of some third party components are not identifiable by the automated tool you are using.
Which of the following is the FIRST step that you take to investigate this issue?

• A. Verify the testability support with the providers of the third party components
• B. Adopt an approach that uses the coordinates of the GUI elements instead
• C. Verify whether the GUI identification depends on the browser.
• D. Verify whether naming standards for variables and have been defined for the current automation solution

You have been asked to automate a set of functional tests at system Test level via the CLI of the SUT for the first release of a software system. The automated tests will be delivered to the learn in change of maintenance testing, who will use them for part of the regression testing. They have the following requirements.
1. The automated tests must be as fast and cheap to maintain as possible
2. The cost of adding new automated tests must be as low as possible
3. The automated tests must have a high level of independence from the tool itself Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable?

• A. Data-driven scripting
• B. Linear scripting
• C. Structure scripting
• D. Keyword-driven scripting

A project consists of distributed teams working in a 24-hour environment, where activities happen at all hours of the day. This project adopts a CI (Continuous Integration) process when developer check-in code and consists of automated activities that include generating a build and deploying it to a test environment.
Automated integration tests are run multiple times a day. The project have asked for a report containing the automation test results for every build, which must be available 24/7 to the project team.
Which of the following would be the BEST way to automatically provides this report?

• A. Store the code coverage results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). And automatically create a chart showing the trend in code coverage and send via email to the project team.
• B. Store the execution result of the integration testsfor the last build to a database (overwriting the results from the previous build), automatically create a test execution report for this build send It via e-mail to the project team
• C. Store the execution results of the integration tests for the last build to a database (without overwriting the results from the previous builds). Automatically create a test execution report for this build and send it via e-mail to the project team
• D. Store the execution results of the integration tests for the last build to adatabase (without overwriting the results from the previous builds), use this database to automatically update a dashboard containing the build history and test results accessible to the project team.

Consider A TAS for testing adesktop application via its GUI. All the test cases of the automated test suite contain the same identical sequences of steps at the beginning (to create the necessary objects when doing a preliminary configuration of the test environment and at the end (to remove everything created -specifically for the test itself during the preliminary configuration of the test environment). All automated test cases use the same set of assertion functions from a shared library, for verifying the values in the GUI fields( e.g text boxes).
What is the BEST recommendation for improving the TAS?

• A. Adopting a set of standard verification methods for use by all automated tests
• B. Improving the architecture of the application in order to improve its testability
• C. Implementing standard setup and teardown functions at test case level
• D. Implementing keywords with higher level of granularity
