Actual exam question for BCS's TAE exam

Question #: 56
Topic #: 8

Consider A TAS for testing a desktop application via its GUI. All the test cases of the automated test suite contain the same identical sequences of steps at the beginning (to create the necessary objects when doing a preliminary configuration of the test environment and at the end (to remove everything created --specifically for the test itself during the preliminary configuration of the test environment). All automated test cases use the same set of assertion functions from a shared library, for verifying the values in the GUI fields ( e.g text boxes).

What is the BEST recommendation for improving the TAS?

AImplementing keywords with higher level of granularity

BImproving the architecture of the application in order to improve its testability

I'm not sure, but Option C about using standard verification methods also sounds like a good idea to me. It could help ensure consistency across all the tests.

Option D seems like the best choice here. Having standard setup and teardown functions would make the test suite much more maintainable and reduce duplicate code.
