[All Certified Tester Test Automation Engineer Questions]

You have investigated a new tool which enables the modelling of the SUT and can then generate test cases either manually or automatically. You have convinced your managers that the best way forward is to conduct a pilot project for this tool. You need to select a project to use for the pilot. You have the choice of the following projects:

Project A: A two-year project that is critical to the business and is currently in the requirement phase. This project is for a new e-commerce web site and is mostly being developed ''in-house" although the payment system is being developed and delivered by a 3rd party provider.

Project B: A safety critical application for software to drive and park cars.

Project C: An upgrade to an important HR timesheet tracking application that will be available on a desktop and mobile application. This is a 1-month project developed in-house.

Project D The payment system from project A.

Which project would be BEST for the pilot?

AProject A because it is a large project and has high visibility and is in the requirement phase.

BProject B because it is a safety critical system and has high visibility.

CProject C because it is a short, low priority project but is important.

DProject D because it is a small part of a larger project and will help show the tool's capabilities.

Project A sounds like a winner. I bet the managers are just hoping the tool can magically fix all their problems with the e-commerce site. Good luck with that!

Project B, huh? I guess they're going for the 'break a leg' approach to testing. Literally.

Hold up, what about Project D? It's a small, focused project that could give us a quick win and demonstrate the tool's capabilities. Plus, no one likes dealing with payment systems, so it might be the safest bet.

Hmm, I'm not convinced. Project C might be the most practical choice. It's a shorter project, and the tool could prove its worth on a less critical application before tackling the big ones.

But Project A is a larger project with high visibility. It could really showcase the tool's capabilities.

I think Project C is a good choice. It's shorter and less critical, so it's a good starting point.

I disagree. Project A seems like the better option. It's a high-visibility project, and the tool could help streamline the development process, especially with the third-party payment system integration.

Project B is the best choice for the pilot. Safety-critical systems require rigorous testing, and this tool could really showcase its capabilities in that domain.
