質問 1：
A release candidate of a SUT, after being fully integrated with all other necessary systems, has successfully passed all required functional tests (90% were automated tests and 10% were manual tests). Now, it is necessary to perform reliability tests aimed at evaluating whether, under certain conditions, that release will be able to guarantee an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) in the production environment higher than a certain threshold (expressed in CPU time). Which of the following test environments is BEST suited to perform these reliability tests?
A. Build environment
B. Integration environment
C. Local development environment
D. Preproduction environment

質問 2：
Which of the following is NOT an advantage of test automation?
A. The ability to enable a better use of skilled testers by freeing them from repetitive and boring tasks
B. The ability to find more defects with the same tests, compared to executing the same test manually
C. The ability to perform tests which would be difficult or impossible to execute manually
D. The ability to run more tests in less time and therefore to make it possible to run them more often
正解：B
質問 3：
A web application was released into production one year ago, it has regular release which follow a V-model lifecycle and testing is well-established and fully integration into the development lifecycle. You have been asked to implement a TAS for the regression test suite. The regression tests have been developed via the GUI and are expected to be run at least four times a month, for each planned release, for the whole operation solution life of the system (six years). Each screen of the GUI uses several third-party controls which are not compatible with the existing automation solutions. The environment for the automation will be stable, fully controllable and separated from other environments (development, staging, production).
What could be the MOST problematic for this TAS?
A. Complexity to automate
B. Maturity of the test process
C. Frequency of use
D. Sustainability of the automated environment
正解：D
質問 4：
As a TAE, you are evaluating a test automation tool to automate some UI tests for a web app. The automated tests will first locate the required HTML elements on the web page using their corresponding identifiers (locators), then perform actions on those elements, and finally check the presence of any expected text for an HTML element. These tests are independent of each other and are organized into a test suite that must be run every night against the most recent build of the web app. There is a high risk that the web app will crash while running some automated tests. Based only on the given information, which of the following is your MOST important concern related to the evaluation of the test automation tool?
A. Does the test automation tool support a licensing scheme that allows accessing different feature sets?
B. Does the test automation tool provide a feature to specify automated tests in a descriptive meta- language that is not directly executable on the web app?
C. Does the test automation tool offer a feature to restore the web app, recover from the failed test, skip such tests, and resume the next one in the suite?
D. Does the test automation tool offer a feature to create a mock server that simulates the behavior of a real API by accepting requests and returning responses?

質問 5：
Which of the following BEST describes why it is important to separate test definition from test execution in a TAA?
A. It allows testers to find more defects on the SUT
B. It allow choosing different paradigms (e.g event-driven) for the interaction TAS and SUT
C. It allows developing steps of the test process without being closely tied to the SUT interface.
D. It allows specify test cases without being closely tied to the tool to run them against the SUT
正解：D
質問 6：
A CI/CD pipeline consists of two phases: build and deployment. The build phase, among other activities, runs automated test cases at the following test levels: Component Testing (CT) and Component Integration Testing (CIT). If the build phase is successful, the deployment phase is started. The deployment phase first provisions the test environment infrastructure needed to deploy the SUT, then deploys the SUT to this environment, and finally triggers another separate pipeline that runs automated test cases at the following test levels: System Testing (ST) and Acceptance Testing (AT). Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Neither automated test cases for CT-CIT nor automated test cases for ST-AT can act as quality gates
B. Automated test cases for CT-CIT cannot act as quality gates, while automated test cases for ST-AT can act as quality gates
C. Automated test cases for CT-CIT can act as quality gates, while automated test cases for ST-AT cannot act as quality gates
D. Both automated test cases for CT-CIT and ST-AT can act as quality gates

質問 7：
A SUT (SUT1) is a client-server system based on a thin client. The client is primarily a display and input interface, while the server provides almost all the resources and functionality of the system. Another SUT (SUT2) is a client-server system based on a fat client that relies little on the server and provides most of the resources and functionality of the system. A given TAS is used to implement automated tests on both SUT1 and SUT2. The main objective of the TAS is to cover as many system functionalities as possible through automated tests executed as fast as possible. Which of the following statements about the automation solution is BEST in this scenario?
A. The TAS should support mainly server-side automation for SUT1 and client-side automation for SUT2
B. The TAS should support mainly client-side automation for both SUT1 and SUT2
C. The TAS should support mainly server-side automation for both SUT1 and SUT2
D. The TAS should support mainly client-side automation for SUT1 and server-side automation for SUT2

You have agreed with your organization's managers to conduct a pilot project to introduce test automation.
Managers' expectations about the benefits of automation are too optimistic. Which of the following is LEAST relevant when deciding the scope of the pilot project's objectives?
A. Evaluate the knowledge and skills of people who will be involved in automating test cases for applicable test automation frameworks and technologies
B. Evaluate the potential cost savings and benefits (e.g., faster test execution, better test coverage) of using automated testing versus manual testing
C. Evaluate the performance of an organization's network infrastructure in terms of factors such as availability, bandwidth, latency, packet loss, and jitter
D. Evaluate the suitability of different test automation tools based on the technology stack used by the applications for which the automated tests will be developed
