You are using a gTAA to create a TAS for a project. The TAS is aimed specifically at automating given sets of manual test cases for standalone desktop applications. All the interactions between TAS and SUT will involve only the GUI of such applications.
Based only on the given information, which of the following components of the gTAA would you include in the TAS?
The Test Automation System (TAS) for standalone desktop applications focusing solely on GUI interactions would not require protocol or API components typically used for networked or backend interactions. The test model component is part of test generation, which is not directly relevant to executing test cases via a GUI. The test reporting component of the test execution layer is necessary as it handles logging and reports the results of the tests executed, which is crucial for assessing the effectiveness and outcomes of the automated GUI tests.
Standalone desktop applications don't typically involve network protocols, APIs, or complex models, eliminating options A, B, and C.
