Study with CTAL-TAE Actual Test Questions

Walking into CTAL-TAE without ever sitting through a timed run is a gamble. The Actualtests4sure test engines recreate the pressure of the ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level, Test Automation Engineering environment in 2026, with two practice modes that let you rehearse at your own pace or under exam conditions.

ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level, Test Automation Engineering Sample Questions:

Question 1

As a TA-E, you have successfully verified that a test automation environment and all other components of the TAS are working as expected. Now your goal is to verify the correct behavior for a given automated test suite that will be run by the TAS. Which of the following should NOT be part of the verifications aimed at achieving your goal?

A. Are all automated tests within the suite complete in terms of test data, including expected results?
B. Does the level of intrusion of automated test tools influence confidence in the suite's test results?
C. Do all automated tests within the suite always provide the same results across multiple runs?
D. Is the connectivity between the TAS and the necessary internal and external systems available and stable?

Question 2

Consider a TAS that is going to be deployed for the first time. The TAS requires share resources and run it its own test environment. The infrastructure for the TAS has been created along with maintenance procedures. It is very unlikely the TAS will be required to work in other target Environments. There is a high-risk that when the TAS is deployed in its own test environment, a number of existing application will no longer work because of conflicts with the existing shared resources.
Which of the following activities would you expect to be MOST effective at mitigating the risk associated with the first deployment of the TAS?

A. Testing the TAS for application compatibility issues in the target environment
B. Testing the TAS for its ability to be implemented in other target test environments.
C. Testing the TAS for regressions due to optimization that fix non-functional issues.
D. Testing the TAS for ITS ability to run a shared test environment

Question 3

Consider a TAS deployed into production. The SUT is a web application and the test suite consists of a set of automated regression tests developed via GUI. A keyword-driven framework has been adopted for automating the regression tests. The tests are based on identification at low-levels of the web page components (e.g class indexes, tab sequence indexes and coordinates) in the next planned release the SUT will be subject to significant corrective maintenance (bug-fixes) and evolution (new features) Maintenance costs to update the test scripts should be as low as possible and the scripts must be highly reusable.
Which of the following statements is most likely to be TRUE?

A. The total execution time of the automated regression test suite will decrease for each planned release.
B. The keyword-driven framework introduces a level abstraction that is too high and makes it difficult what really happens
C. False positive errors are likely to occur when running the automated tests on the new releases without modifying the test
D. The keyword-driven framework is not suitable, it would be better to adopt a structured-scripting approach

Question 4

You are currently designing the TAA of a TAS. You have been asked to adopt an approach for automatically generating and executing test cases from a model that defines the SUT. The SUT is a state-based and event- driven that is described by a finite-state machine and exposes its functionality via an API. The behavior of the SUT depends on hardware and communication links that can be unreliable.
Which of the following aspects is MOST important when designing the TAA in this scenario?

A. Adopting a test definition strategy based on use case/exception case coverage for the definition layer.
B. Adopting a test definition strategy based on classification tree coverage for the test definition layer.
C. Looking for tools that allow performing setup and teardown of the test suites and the SUT.
D. Looking for tools that allows direct denoting of exceptions and actions depending on the SUT events.

Question 5

Which of the following practices can be used to specify the active (i.e., actually available) features for each release of the SUT and determine the corresponding automated tests that must be executed for a given release?

A. The use of feature files
B. The use of feature toggles
C. Feature-driven development
D. Test-driven development
