ISTQB Exam CT-TAE Topic 4 Question 42 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CT-TAE exam
Question #: 42
Topic #: 4
[All CT-TAE Questions]

The Test Automation Manager has asked you to provide a solution for collecting metrics from the TAS that measures code coverage every time the automated regression test pack is run. The metrics must be trend based to ensure that the scope of the regression test pack continues to reflect enhancements made to the SUT - coverage must not drop and should ideally increase. The solution must be as automated as possible to avoid unnecessary manual overheads and errors.

Which of the following approaches would BEST meet these requirements?

I prefer option B. Recording overall code coverage for each run and presenting it in a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet seems simple and effective.

Option D sounds like it's just tracking the test results, not the actual code coverage. That's not going to cut it for this requirement.

C) The automated testware would record overall code coverage for each run, export the data to a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet that automatically updates a trend analysis bar chart for you to distribute to stakeholders.

B) The automated testware would record overall code coverage for each run and add the figure to a new row in a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet. You would then present the spreadsheet to stakeholders so they could look for changes in coverage.

A) Test automation cannot measure code coverage for the SUT, only the code for the automation tools and scripts. The automated test cases would need to be run manually with a code coverage and reporting tool running in the background.

I agree, having the data automatically exported to a spreadsheet and updating a trend analysis chart sounds like a more efficient way to track code coverage over time.
