The BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level: Test Automation Engineer exam contains 40 to complete within 90 minutes. Timed simulation in the Test4Cram Desktop Test Engine teaches that rhythm before exam day does.
The official BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level: Test Automation Engineer outline defines 8 domains. The leading three are Verifying the Test Automation Solution, Generic Test Automation Architecture, and Introduction and Objectives for Test Automation. The full list is in the topics section above, and Test4Cram's 42 practice questions cover each one.
Three versions of the same study materials: a printable, expert-prepared PDF with free demo download and instant access; a Desktop Test Engine for Windows that simulates the real exam with two practice modes and works offline; and an Online Test Engine for any browser on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS with test history and performance review. All 42 practice questions are identical across versions. Every purchase includes 365 days of free updates — whenever a new version is compiled, it is sent to you automatically — plus a 50% renewal discount afterward and unlimited computer installations.
Candidates must hold the ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) certificate before taking the CTAL-TAE examination. Since requirements change over time, confirm the latest on the official BCS exam page before scheduling.
BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level: Test Automation Engineer Sample Questions:
Which of the following metrics could suggest, under certain condition that an automated regression test suite has NOT been updated fornew functionalities added to the SUT?
- A. The ratio of commands to executable statements in the automation code of the regression test suite
- B. The ratio of comments to executable statements in the SUT code.
- C. The defect density in the automation code of the regression test suite.
- D. The SUT code coverage provided by the execution of the regression test suite.
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
You are using a gTAA to create a TAS for a project. The TAS is aimed at automatically and executing test cases based on a use-case Modeling approaching that uses UML as a modeling language. All the interaction between TAS and SUT will only be at the API and GUI level.
Which of the following components of the gTAA would you EXCLUDE from the TAS?
- A. The Command Line Interface (CLI) component of the test adaptation layer
- B. The Test execution component of the test generation layer
- C. The test reporting component of the test execution layer.
- D. The test execution (test engine of the test execution layer
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
You have been asked to determine a TAS for a new release of a SUT,test should be automated wherever. The new release will consist of 5 new interfaces and an amendment to 3 existing interfaces. The new and amended interface will be deliver incrementally in 3 sprints, each lasting 2 weeks.
What would be the BEST Test Automation Solution (TAS) design in this scenario?
- A. Automate the tests at two levels, Component and System level. Create customized hooks at Component level for interface not yet developed or amended. Only use the newly developed or amended interfaces to test at System level.
- B. Automate a test at once level, component level, Create customized interface/test hooks for this level where the interface has not yet been developed or amended.
- C. Automate tests at both Component and System Level. Only do this automation once every interface has been fully developed or amended and manual testing has completed successfully.
- D. Automate tests at one level only, System level. Use only the newly developed interfaces and do not create any customized interfaces/test hooks.
Correct Answer: C 🗳️
A TAS uses a commercial test automation tool and the default logs generated by the inconsistent formats such as different types of messages (pass/fail steps, screenshots, warnings, etc.) To solve this issue some custom logging functions have been created from the test scripts, making it possible tolog the different types of messages with the same format. However, this may cause a problem due to excessive size of the logs which can make it difficult to find the required information. Assume that all the default logs will be disabled when running theautomated tests and that some tests will not generate excessively sized logs.
Which of the following represents the BEST suggestion for implementing the custom logging functions?
- A. Implement the custom logging functions without saving stack traces
- B. Implement the custom logging functions without saving timestamps
- C. Implement the custom logging functions to redirect the logs to multiple files
- D. Implement the custom logging functions to support different levels of tracing
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
You identified a suitable project to pilot an automation tool and planned and conduced a pilot. The pilot has been successful and tool Is being deployed within your organization, with a plan to increase tool use by the one project at a time. During this rollout some test processes will be changed slightly to gain additional benefits from using the tool.
Inthe pilot project, a small set of manual tests were automated for the first time. You are currently monitoring the test automation efficiency and this reveals that the automation regime for the tests is not yet mature.
Which of the following statements isTRUE?
- A. The pilot project should have been critical so that maximum benefits were delivered
- B. The test process should be radically changed to gain additional benefits from using the tool.
- C. The approach used for deployed this tool is aligned to the standard success factor for deployment
- D. The target defined for the project was inappropriate, because the automation regime for the automated tests at the end of the pilot is not yet mature.
