Question 4

Your functional regression test automation suite ran successfully for the first two sprints and no failures were encountered during the runs. The automation suite records the status of each test case as either 'pass' or 'fail' and has excellent recovery capability built in.

For the third sprint, the TAS log reported several test cases with a status of 'fail'. You investigated each test case and found that most failures were due to a defect in one of the keyword scripts, rather than in the SUT. For those where the failure was in the SUT, defect reports were raised but several were returned by the developers asking for more information to enable them to reproduce the problem.

Which additional log items SHOULD you add to the TAS that would BEST improve failure analysis and defect reporting for future sprints? a) Dynamic measurement information about the SUT. b) A status of TAS error’, in additional to pass' and 'fail', for each test case. c) Use of a colour coding scheme so that 'pass’ is in red and fail' is in green. d) A counter to determine how many times each test case has been executed. e) System configuration information including software/firmware and operating system versions. f) A copy of the source code for all Keyword scripts executed.

    Correct Answer: D

    Adding both a status of 'TAS error' and system configuration information including software/firmware and operating system versions would best improve failure analysis and defect reporting. The status of 'TAS error' helps differentiate between issues caused by the test automation suite itself and those caused by the system under test, facilitating quicker identification of the root cause. System configuration details are crucial for reproducing defects, as they provide context about the environment in which the tests were executed.

Discussion
TisajaOption: B

System configuration information including software/firmware and operating system versions (e) is a must have in this situation. Therefore we need to choose between B and D. Log item "b" is unrealistic and log item "d" would be helpful as we can see if the test has been run only once or it was executed also in the rerun. That leaves us with the correct answer "B".

anhtoOption: A

Answer A is the correct answer because both the 'TAS error' and the 'Dynamic measurement information about the SUT' are listed as TAS log requirements. Answer D is incorrect because System configuration is not a TAS log requirement but a SUT log requirement.

es12398080Option: A

Answer A is the correct answer, because both the 'TAS error' and the 'Dynamic measurement information about the SUT' are listed as TAS log requirements. Answer D is incorrect, because System configuration is not a TAS log requirement but a SUT log reuirement.

FrancisFerreiraOption: D

An execution counter would be of no help whatsoever. However, the ability to recognize TAS failures and report those would save lots of time during defect investigation.

pabc08Option: A

Chapter 5.3: - The execution status of the test case can be pass, fail or TAS error. The result of TAS error is used for situations where the problem is not in the SUT. - Dynamic information about the SUT (e.g., memory leaks) that the test case was able to identify with the help of third party tools. Actual results and failures of these dynamic measurements should be logged with the test case that was executing when the incident was detected.

issoChanOption: A

In section 5.3 it is explained. For TAS; a and b are clear. Counter is needed in case of reliability/stress testing but there is no mention in text for them. So correct answer is A

SvarogOption: D

The correct answer is: D. b and e Explanation: Adding a status of 'TAS error' (option b) would provide additional information about the nature of the failure, allowing for better categorization and analysis. Including system configuration information, such as software/firmware and operating system versions (option e), would help in understanding the environment in which the failures occurred, aiding in defect reproduction and resolution. (s. chapter 1.2: "Enable easy troubleshooting: In addition to the test execution and logging, the TAF has to provide an easy way to troubleshoot failing tests. The test can fail due to o failures found in the SUT o failures found in the TAS o problem with the tests themselves or the test environment."

khanhcuongOption: A

when debugging automation script, we need more information than just passed or failed, that the reason why we need a) Dynamic measurement information about the SUT and b) A status of TAS error’, in additional to pass' and 'fail', for each test case.

wallace2808Option: D

Again, I have to agree with community answer. D is most logical.

Leandro__Option: D

D. b and e
