ISQI CTAL-TAE_V2 valid exam dumps : ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineering CTAL-TAE (Syllabus v2.0)

(Which of the following aspects of "design for testability" is MOST directly associated with the need to define precisely which interfaces are available in the SUT for test automation at different test levels?)

• A. Autonomy
• B. Controllability
• C. Observability
• D. Architecture transparency

Automated tests at the UI level for a web app adopt an asynchronous waiting mechanism that allows them to synchronize test steps with the app, so that they are executed correctly and at the right time, only when the app is ready and has processed the previous step: this is done when there are no timeouts or pending asynchronous requests. In this way, the tests automatically synchronize with the app's web pages. The same initialization tasks to set test preconditions are implemented as test steps for all tests. Regarding the pre- processing (Setup) features defined at the test suite level, the TAS provides both a Suite Setup (which runs exactly once when the suite starts) and a Test Setup (which runs at the start of each test case in the suite).
Which of the following recommendations would you provide for improving the TAS (assuming it is possible to perform all of them)?

• A. Implement the initialization tasks aimed at setting the preconditions of the tests within the Suite Setup feature at the test suite level
• B. Adopt a manual synchronization with the app's web pages using hard-coded waits instead of the current automatic synchronization
• C. Adopt a manual synchronization with the app's web pages using dynamic waits via polling instead of the current automatic synchronization
• D. Implement the initialization tasks aimed at setting the preconditions of the tests within the Test Setup feature at the test suite level

Which of the following is the BEST example of how static analysis tools can help improve the test automation code quality in terms of security?

• A. Static analysis tools can ensure there are no security vulnerabilities within test automation code
• B. Static analysis tools can help detect the presence of repeated instances of code within test automation code
• C. Static analysis tools can help detect hard-coded credentials that expose sensitive information within test automation code
• D. Static analysis tools do not generate false positives when attempting to detect security vulnerabilities within test automation code

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 number and type of automated tests to execute in the test environment where the web app is deployed
• D. The connection string(s) to connect to the test database(s) within the test environment where the web app is deployed

A CI/CD pipeline consists of two phases: build and deployment. The build phase, among other activities, runs automated test cases at the following test levels: Component Testing (CT) and Component Integration Testing (CIT). If the build phase is successful, the deployment phase is started. The deployment phase first provisions the test environment infrastructure needed to deploy the SUT, then deploys the SUT to this environment, and finally triggers another separate pipeline that runs automated test cases at the following test levels: System Testing (ST) and Acceptance Testing (AT). Which of the following statements is TRUE?

• A. Automated test cases for CT-CIT can act as quality gates, while automated test cases for ST-AT cannot act as quality gates
• B. Both automated test cases for CT-CIT and ST-AT can act as quality gates
• C. Automated test cases for CT-CIT cannot act as quality gates, while automated test cases for ST-AT can act as quality gates
• D. Neither automated test cases for CT-CIT nor automated test cases for ST-AT can act as quality gates
