A regression test suite consist of 500 test cases which are all executed manually. The business case for a pilot project is based on the adoption of test automation using a commercial tool that will reduce the execution time by a factor of 90% for 100% of the tests in the regression test suite. The pilot project lasted one month ( as planned) and you are currently its results. At the end of the pilot project, 40% of the regression tests have been automated and their execution time has been reduce by 60%. Which of the following statements is TRUE in this scenario?
The duration of the pilot project was too short –it should last unit the success factors are achieved
The target defined for the business case is too accurate –it should not be measureable
The project selected for the pilot is too critical –if should not be too critical or too trivial
The target defined for the business case seems difficult to hit – it should be realistic

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?
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.
Automate tests at one level only, System level. Use only the newly developed interfaces and do not create any customized interfaces/test hooks.
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.
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.

Your company is new to test automation and as TAE. you have designed a TAS which successfully supports the SUT for the current project. There are other systems currently in operation which have been tested manually and more systems are planned over the coming years. Based on this success, your company requires test automation be rolled out to other current and future SUTs with consistency being a key objective. Which of the following is the BEST way to achieve that?
Design a new TAS for each SUT, and manage each one through a dedicated automation support team.
Install the current TAS into a central repository so that other tests on different SUTs use the same version of the TAS.
Check for correct connectivity to internal and external systems to ensure that the TAS has been installed and configured correctly for each SUT.
Develop a tool that keeps track of automation failures across the different SUTs and produces regular reports to stakeholders.

If you are tracking the frequency that a test automation code reports a defect that is not really a defect, what metric are you gathering?
Tool scripting metrics
Automation code defect density
Trend metrics
The number of false-fail results

Consider a TAS that exclusively uses the APIs of a SUT. To make this work, significant changes have been required to the SUT by adding a set of dedicated test interfaces to the APIs. All the automated tests will use these test interfaces when interacting with the SUT. Assume that you are currently verifying the correctness of the automated test environment and test tool setup. Which of the following would you expect to be the MOST specific risk associated with this scenario?
The connectivity from the TAS to the dedicated test interfaces will not work
The process of configuring the TAS will be error-phone due to manual intervention
The automated test cases will not contain the expected result
False alarms, that are unlikely to occur in the real world, will be observed during testing
