ISTQB Exam CT-TAE Topic 2 Question 49 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CT-TAE exam
Question #: 49
Topic #: 2
[All CT-TAE Questions]

Your functional regression test automation suite ran successfully for the first two sprints and no failures were encountered during the runs. The automation suite records the status of each test case as either 'pass' or 'fail' and has excellent recovery capability built in.

For the third sprint, the TAS log reported several test cases with a status of 'fail'. You investigated each test case and found that most failures were due to a defect in one of the keyword scripts, rather than in the SUT. For those where the failure was in the SUT, defect reports were raised but several were returned by the developers asking for more information to enable them to reproduce the problem.

Which additional log items SHOULD you add to the TAS that would BEST improve failure analysis and defect reporting for future sprints?

a) Dynamic measurement information about the SUT.

b) A status of TAS error', in additional to pass' and 'fail', for each test case.

c) Use of a colour coding scheme so that 'pass' is in red and fail' is in green.

d) A counter to determine how many times each test case has been executed.

e) System configuration information including software/firmware and operating system versions.

f) A copy of the source code for all Keyword scripts executed.

I agree with Jutta. Having more detailed information about the system under test and additional error status will definitely help in improving failure analysis and defect reporting.

I think we should add dynamic measurement information about the SUT and a status of 'TAS error' for each test case.
