ISTQB Exam CT-TAE Topic 1 Question 31 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CT-TAE exam

Question #: 31
Topic #: 1

You have implemented a keyword-driven scripting framework, which uses a test execution tool to run the tests. This has been in use for the past year and all of the teams now use this framework as the standard approach for test execution.

The teams all work on different aspects of the SUT and they have all experienced significant benefits in the use of this scripting framework. However, on closer examination, you have discovered that there are numerous instances where the teams have the same functionality to test but are using different keywords.

One of your objectives for improvement is to create consistency among the teams.

What is the BEST way to handle this situation?

AMove to a model-based approach to scripting where the models include the keywords.

BDo nothing, each team are working in isolation and they are all experiencing significant benefits in the way they are currently working.

CProvide each team with a set of guidelines and naming conventions for keywords.

DCreate a central library of keywords and associated definitions for each team to use.

Option D all the way! A central library of keywords is the way to go. It'll make everything so much more organized and efficient. Plus, it'll keep the teams from going all rogue with their own custom keywords.

Option A seems interesting, but I'm not sure it's the best fit here. Model-based scripting might be overkill if the teams are already using a keyword-driven framework.

I'm not sure, but I think option B is a terrible idea. Just letting the teams do their own thing is not going to solve the consistency problem.
