BCS Exam TAE Topic 6 Question 43 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's TAE exam
Question #: 43
Topic #: 6
[All TAE Questions]

Consider a TAS deployed into production. The SUT is a web application and the test suite consists of a set of automated regression tests developed via GUI. A keyword-driven framework has been adopted for automating the regression tests. The tests are based on identification at low-levels of the web page components (e.g class indexes, tab sequence indexes and coordinates) in the next planned release the SUT will be subject to significant corrective maintenance (bug-fixes) and evolution (new features) Maintenance costs to update the test scripts should be as low as possible and the scripts must be highly reusable.

Which of the following statements is most likely to be TRUE?

I just hope they don't end up like my old roommate, who spent more time debugging their automated tests than the actual application.

C) Haha, good one! As if the total execution time would decrease just because they're changing the whole app. That's wishful thinking!

D) The keyword-driven framework sounds like it's just adding an unnecessary layer of abstraction. I want to know what's really going on under the hood.

A) I agree, a structured-scripting approach would be more maintainable in the long run, even if the initial effort is higher.

That's a good point, Paz. It's important to consider the level of abstraction in the framework for test maintenance and reusability.

I disagree, I believe option D is the correct choice. The keyword-driven framework may introduce a level of abstraction that is too high.

B) Definitely, the low-level identification of web page components will likely cause false positives when the application undergoes significant changes. Maintaining those tests will be a nightmare.

I think option B is most likely to be true because false positive errors can occur when running tests without modifying them.
