The Generic Test Automation Architecture

What is the benefit of using the gTAA for implementing a TAS?

• • It is implemented using off-the-shelf tools

• • It does not require any SUT specific additions or adaptations

• • It predefines a concrete method for the realization of a TAS

• • It supports a wide range of software engineering approaches and technologiesCustom.

Answer explanation

Which layer of the gTAA provides the necessary code to adapt the automated tests for the various components or interfaces of the SUT?

• • The Test Definition Layer

• • The Test Generation Layer

• • The Test Adaptation Layer

• • The Test Execution Layer

Answer explanation

Olivia, Anika, and David are working on a software project. They are using various tools for testing. Which of the following is NOT a tool supported by the test definition layer they are using?

• • Defining test data for low-level test cases

• • Developing test automation frameworks

• • Specifying test procedures for a test case or a set of test cases

• • Specifying test cases (at a high and/or low level)

Answer explanation

Why it is advised to implement the TAS in incremental steps (e.g., in sprints) ?

• In order to save time and costs.

• • In order to use the TAS as soon as possible and to prove the added value of the TAS.

• • In order to help internal teams move more efficiently through the phases of a project.

• • In order to deliver unparalleled impact at scale, at speed and cost-effectively.

Syllabus - Section 3.1.1 Overview of the gTAA

The test ________ layer consists of tool support for the following:

"Manually designing test cases"

What is the corresponding layer?

• • definition

• • execution

• • adaption

• • generation

Answer explanation

Which of the following is a tool support for the test execution layer?

• • Debugging the test cases

• • Reviewing the test plan

• • Logging the test case executions

• • Designing the test cases

Answer explanation

"Mediating between the technology-neutral test definitions and the specific technology requirements of the SUT and the test devices"

The statement above is a functionality that provides the _______ ?

• • test adaption layer.

• • test definition layer.

• • test execution layer.

• • test generation layer.

Answer explanation

At what layer in the TAA is the decision made to use manual or automated means to create the test automation?

• 
  

• • Test adaption

• • Test definition

• • Test execution

• • Test generation

Answer explanation

The gTAA  encompasses ___________: (Select 1 answer)

• • The Test Implementation Layer that supports the definition and implementation of test approaches and/or test strategies.

• • The Test Implementation Layer that supports the definition and implementation of test suites and/or test cases.

• • The Test Definition Layer that supports the definition and implementation of test approaches and/or test strategies.

• • The Test Definition Layer that supports the definition and implementation of test suites and/or test cases.

Answer explanation

"Test reports including test logs and test results need to be extracted easily or automatically provided to the test management (people or system) of the SUT."

The statement above refers to:

• • TAS Support for Test Management.

• • TAS Support for Configuration Management.

• • TAS Support for Change Management.

• • TAS Support for Project Management.
