Which of the following is NOT a technical design consideration for a TAA?

• A. Data used by the SUT, e.g configuration, users
• B. Standards and Legal requirements, e.g data privacy
• C. Availability of interfaces for the SUT to be testable
• D. The number of users for the SUT

You are currently designing the TAA of a TAS. You have been asked to adopt an approach for automatically generating and executing test cases from a model that defines the SUT. The SUT is a state-based and event- driven that is described by a finite-state machine and exposes its functionality via an API. The behavior of the SUT depends on hardware and communication links that can be unreliable.
Which of the following aspects is MOST important when designing the TAA in this scenario?

• A. Adopting a test definition strategy based on use case/exception case coverage for the definition layer.
• B. Looking for tools that allow performing setup and teardown of the test suites and the SUT.
• C. Looking for tools that allows direct denoting of exceptions and actions depending on the SUT events.
• D. Adopting a test definition strategy based on classification tree coverage for the test definition layer.

Consider a TAS that exclusively uses the APIs of a SUT. To make this work, significant changes have been required to the SUT by adding a set of dedicated test interfaces to the APIs. All the automated tests will use these test interfaces when interacting with the SUT. Assume that you are currently verifying the correctness of the automated test environment and test tool setup.
Which of the following would you expect to be the MOST specific risk associated with this scenario?

• A. False alarms, that are unlikely to occur in the real world, will be observed during testing
• B. The automated test cases will not contain the expected result
• C. The process of configuring the TAS will be error-phone due to manual intervention
• D. The connectivity from the TAS to the dedicated test interfaces will not work

Consider a TAS that is going to be deployed for the first time. The TAS requires share resources and run it its own test environment. The infrastructure for the TAS has been created along with maintenance procedures. It is very unlikely the TAS will be required to work in other target Environments. There is a high-risk that when the TAS is deployed in its own test environment, a number of existing application will no longer work because of conflicts with the existing shared resources.
Which of the following activities would you expect to be MOST effective at mitigating the risk associated with the first deployment of the TAS?

• A. Testing the TAS for application compatibility issues in the target environment
• B. Testing the TAS for regressions due to optimization that fix non-functional issues.
• C. Testing the TAS for ITS ability to run a shared test environment
• D. Testing the TAS for its ability to be implemented in other target test environments.
