Question 2

A major component of your organisation's Test Automaton Solution (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 (TAE) 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.

    Correct Answer: C

    The Test Automation Engineer (TAE) needs to ensure proper configuration management control for any third-party tools used, to maintain their integrity and manage updates efficiently. It is also crucial to stay informed about updates and new versions to keep the tool current and avoid potential compatibility or security issues. While annual support and maintenance costs might be relevant for commercial tools, they are less applicable to open-source tools, and ensuring test scripts are integrated is a broader task that may not directly relate to handling the third-party capture-replay tool.

C is correct

FrancisFerreiraOption: C

Support and maintenance costs are contractual things that don't usually concern the TAE. The TAE, however, does need to be aware of new releases and updates for the third-party tool so that no technical debts are generated for missing out on those.

Not to mention it is an open-source tool, so there is likely no support or maintenance costs to worry about.

Are these solutions legit? The first 2 are all against my judgement.
