CTAL-TAE Exam FAQ: What Candidates Ask Most

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

Question 1

What is NOT a factor in considering when you are asked to ensure an effective transition from manual to automated tests?

A. Complexity to automate the manual test cases
B. Correctness of test data and test cases
C. The controllability of the SUT
D. The look and feel of the SUT

Question 2

Designing the System Under Test (SUT) for testability is important for a good test automation approach and can also benefit manual test execution.
Which of the following is NOT a consideration when designing for testability?

A. Observability: The SUT needs to provide interface that give insight into the system.
B. Clearly defined architecture: The SUT Architecture needs to provide clear and understandable interfaces giving control and visibility on all test levels.
C. Re-useability: The code written for the SUT must be re-useable for other similar system.
D. Control: the SUT needs to provide interfaces that can be used to perform actions on SUT.

Question 3

Some automated regression test scripts run by a TAS in a given test environment make calls to private APIs that require authentication for all requests (the authentication method is the same for all APIs). The SUT is a business-critical system. The following two changes are planned: a change in the authentication method of all APIs and a minor upgrade of the OS (Operating System) in the test environment. You have updated the test scripts to cope with the change in the API authentication method. Which of the following sequences of activities is BEST to ensure that the test scripts are not adversely affected by these changes?

A. Implement one change at a time and run a subset of the updated test scripts after each change, and finally run all the updated test scripts
B. First implement the change in the API authentication method, then upgrade the OS, and finally run all the updated test scripts
C. Implement one change at a time and run a subset of the updated test scripts after each change
D. First upgrade the OS, then implement the change in the API authentication method, and finally run all the updated test scripts

Question 4

As a TAE, you are evaluating a test automation tool to automate some UI tests for a web app. The automated tests will first locate the required HTML elements on the web page using their corresponding identifiers (locators), then perform actions on those elements, and finally check the presence of any expected text for an HTML element. These tests are independent of each other and are organized into a test suite that must be run every night against the most recent build of the web app. There is a high risk that the web app will crash while running some automated tests. Based only on the given information, which of the following is your MOST important concern related to the evaluation of the test automation tool?

A. Does the test automation tool offer a feature to restore the web app, recover from the failed test, skip such tests, and resume the next one in the suite?
B. Does the test automation tool provide a feature to specify automated tests in a descriptive meta- language that is not directly executable on the web app?
C. Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme that allows accessing different feature sets?
D. Does the test automation tool offer a feature to create a mock server that simulates the behavior of a real API by accepting requests and returning responses?

Question 5

Which one of the following answers does NOT refer to an example of configuration item(s) that should be specified in development pipelines to identify a test environment (and its specific test data) associated with a web app under test on which to execute automated tests?

A. The base URL of the test environment where the web app is deployed (i.e., the root address for accessing the web app)
B. The URLs of web APIs/web services related to the web app's backend within the test environment where the app is deployed
C. The connection string(s) to connect to the test database(s) within the test environment where the web app is deployed
D. The number and type of automated tests to execute in the test environment where the web app is deployed
