Question 21

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?

  1. Percentage of code covered by the test automation.
  2. Equivalent Manual Test Effort for the automated tests.
  3. Number of defects found by test automation.
  4. Percentage of builds accepted/rejected by the automated tests.

Question 22

Which of the following is an important success factor for any significant automation project?

  1. The TAA must be designed for testability.
  2. The TAA is self-documenting
  3. The SUT must be designed for testability
  4. The SUT is self-documenting

Question 23

Which of the following CORRECTLY describes how automation SHOULD be applied to confirmation testing?

  1. Confirmation tests are not good candidates for automation as they are not designed to run many times
  2. Confirmation tests should only be automated if they fail to pass on the first attempt
  3. Confirmation tests can be automated and incorporated into an automated regression suite to show whether defects that were previously fixed reoccur
  4. A confirmation test should only be automated after it has been run manually
