(In User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for a new SUT, in addition to the manual tests performed by the end- users, automated tests are performed that focus on the execution of repetitive and routine test scenarios. In which of the following environments are all these tests typically performed?)

• A. Integration environment
• B. Build environment
• C. Production environment
• D. Preproduction environment

The last few runs for a suite of automated keyword-driven tests on a SUT were never completed. The test where the run was aborted was not the same between runs. Currently, it is not possible to identify the root cause of these aborts, but only determine that test execution aborted when exceptions (e.g., NullPointerException, OutOfMemoryError) occurred on the SUT by analyzing its log files. Test execution log files are currently generated, in HTML format, by the TAS as follows: all expected logging data is logged for each keyword in intermediate log files. This data is then inserted into the final log file only for keywords that fail, while only a configurable subset of that data is logged for keywords that execute successfully. Which of the following actions (assuming it is possible to perform all of them) would you take FIRST to help find the root cause of the aborts?

• A. Use appropriate colors to effectively visually highlight different types of information in the test execution log files
• B. Split the generated log file into smaller parts, load them into external files that are loaded into the browser in transparent mode when needed
• C. Log the stack trace and amount of memory available to the SUT at the start and end of each test in the suite, in the SUT log files
• D. Log all expected logging data in the final test execution log file, not only for keywords that fail, but also for keywords that execute successfully

A TAS that performs automated testing in a single test environment was successfully manually installed and configured from a central repository, with all its components in the correct versions. It was also verified that all TAS components in this environment are capable of providing reliable and repeatable performance. The TAS will be used to run several suites of automated regression test scripts on various SUTs in the test environment. Your current goal is to complete all preliminary verifications to ensure that the TAS works correctly. Which of the following activities would you perform FIRST?

• A. Create scripts to automatically install and configure the TAS in the test environment from the central repository
• B. Check whether all regression test scripts in a given suite have expected results
• C. Check whether the TAS connectivity to all required internal systems, external systems, and interfaces is available
• D. Run a given suite multiple times using TAS to determine whether all regression test scripts always provide the same result

A new TAS allows the implementation of automated data-driven test scripts. All the tasks planned for the initial deployment of this TAS, aimed at installing and configuring the TAS components and provisioning the infrastructure, will be performed manually by a dedicated, specialized team. This TAS is expected to be deployed in the future in other similar environments. As a TAE, you see a risk that the correct and reproducible deployment of the TAS cannot be guaranteed. Which of the following options is BEST suited for mitigating this risk?

• A. Nothing needs to be done, because the team that will manually perform the specified tasks, as they are specialized, will not make mistakes and will therefore be able to ensure a correct and reproducible deployment
• B. Review data-driven test scripts to better organize test libraries by adding test functions containing identical sequences of actions commonly implemented in a relevant number of scripts
• C. Partition the data tables containing test data used by data-driven test scripts into smaller data tables, using an appropriate logical criterion, to make them more manageable
• D. Try to automate most of the tasks related to the installation and configuration of the TAS components and those related to the provisioning of the infrastructure

When choosing an automation tool, which would be the BEST option for automation testers who have programming skills?

• A. Avoidance of open-source automation tools
• B. A low-code or no-code tooling solution
• C. A commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) tool
• D. A tool whose programming language matches that of the system under test
