Which of the following statements about a test progress report produced for an automated test suite is TRUE?

• A. The test progress report should indicate, for each test in the suite, the start and end timestamps of the test
• B. The content of the test progress report should not be affected by the stakeholders to whom the report is intended
• C. The test progress report should indicate the test environment in which the tests were performed
• D. The test progress report should indicate, for each test in the suite, the timestamps related to the test steps

An automated test case that should always pass sometimes passes and sometimes fails intermittently (non- deterministic behavior) when executed in the same test environment, even if no code (i.e., SUT code or the test automation code) has been changed. Which of the following statements about the root cause of this non- deterministic behavior is TRUE?

• A. The specified root cause is a race condition that can be identified by also analyzing the log files of the test case, the SUT, and the TAF
• B. Determining the specified root cause may require, in addition to the TAE, the support of others such as developers and system engineers
• C. Determining the specified root cause is certainly easier than if the automated test always fails (deterministic behavior)
• D. The specified root cause must be in the instability of the test environment, since no code has been changed

A TAS is used to run on a test environment a suite of automated regression tests, written at the UI level, on different releases of a web app: all executions complete successfully, always providing correct results (i.e., producing neither false positives nor false negatives). The tests, all independent of each other, consist of executable test scripts based on the flow model pattern which has been implemented in a three-layer TAF (test scripts, business logic, core libraries) by expanding the page object model via the facade pattern. Currently the suite takes too long to run, and the test scripts are considered too long in terms of LOC (Lines of Code).
Which of the following recommendations would you provide for improving the TAS (assuming it is possible to perform all of them)?

• A. Split the suite into sub-suites and run each of them concurrently on different test environments
• B. Modify the architecture of the SUT to improve its testability and, if necessary, the TAA accordingly
• C. Implement a mechanism to automatically reboot the entire web app in the event of a crash
• D. Modify the TAF so that test scripts are based on the page object model, rather than the flow model pattern

An automated test script makes a well-formed request to a REST API in the backend of a web app to add a single item for a product (with ID = 710) to the cart and expects a response confirming that the product is successfully added. The status line of the API response is HTTP/1.1 200 OK, while the response body indicates that the product is out of stock. The API response is correct, the test script fails but completes, and the message to log is: The product with ID = 710 is out of stock. Cart not updated. When this occurs, you are already aware that both the failed test and the API are behaving correctly and that the problem is in the test data. The TAS supports the following test logging levels: FATAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG. Which of the following is the MOST appropriate test logging level to use to log the specified message?

• A. INFO
• B. WARN
• C. DEBUG
• D. FATAL

You have agreed with your organization's managers to conduct a pilot project to introduce test automation.
Managers' expectations about the benefits of automation are too optimistic. Which of the following is LEAST relevant when deciding the scope of the pilot project's objectives?

• A. Evaluate the suitability of different test automation tools based on the technology stack used by the applications for which the automated tests will be developed
• B. Evaluate the potential cost savings and benefits (e.g., faster test execution, better test coverage) of using automated testing versus manual testing
• C. Evaluate the performance of an organization's network infrastructure in terms of factors such as availability, bandwidth, latency, packet loss, and jitter
• D. Evaluate the knowledge and skills of people who will be involved in automating test cases for applicable test automation frameworks and technologies
