[All CTAL-TA_Syll2019 Questions]

The Technical Test Analyst has created a suite of keyword-driven tests to be used to test a calendar creation application. Because users may enter erroneous data, error checking must be

handled with the automation. What is the best way to test the error conditions and still use the keyword-driven tests?

ACreate test data for the keywords that includes error data and verifies the proper error is returned

BCreate a suite of data-driven tests that will provide all possible errors

CCreate new keywords to handle the error situations

DCreate manual tests for the error conditions and provide only valid data for the keyword tests

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The correct answer is A. Create test data for the keywords that includes error data and verifies the proper error is returned.

Create test data for the keywords that includes error data and verifies the proper error is returned

This is the best way to test the error conditions and still use the keyword-driven tests because it allows the reuse of the existing keywords and functions, while providing different inputs and expected outputs for the test cases. It also ensures that the error checking is automated and consistent, and that the test coverage is adequate1.

Option C might work, but then we'd have to maintain separate keywords for the happy path and error conditions. Keeping it all in one place with Option A sounds more efficient.

Haha, I can just imagine the keywords for the error cases: 'EnterInvalidDate', 'ClickSaveWithoutRequiredFields' - that would be hilarious!

I agree with Mariann. Option A allows us to keep the automation unified and comprehensive. No need to create a separate suite of data-driven tests just for the errors.

Option A seems like the most straightforward approach. We can capture the error cases as part of the keyword-driven tests and validate the proper error handling.
