iSQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level, Test Automation Engineering CTAL-TAE Exam Dumps: Updated Questions & Answers (October 2025)

Question # 1

Consider a TAS that uses a keyword-driven framework. The SUT is a web application and there is a large set of keywords available for writing the automated tests that relate to highly specific user actions linked directly to the GUI of the SUT. The automated test written with the keywords are statically analyzed by a custom tool which highlight’s repeated instances of identical sequence of keywords. The waiting mechanism implemented by the TAS for a webpage load is based on a synchronous sampling within a given timeout. The TAS allows checking a webpage load every seconds until a timeout value

A.

Changing thescripting approach to data-driven scripting

B.

Implementing keywords with a higher level of granularity

C.

Changing the wait mechanism to explicit hard-coded waits

D.

Establishing an error recovery process for TAS and SUT

Question # 2

A SUT has an existing automated test suite.

Which of the following statements relating to the introduction of new features in the SUT is TRUE?

A.

Automated tests are not affected by the introduction of a new feature and running them against the new SUT is a waste of effort

B.

The introduction of a new feature could require updates or additions to the testware components

C.

The test automation engineer should work with the business analysts to ensure the new feature is testable

D.

It is generally more difficult to automate test cases for a new feature as the development has not yet started

Question # 3

Youare using a gTAA to create a TAS for a project. The TAS is aimed specifically at automating a suit of existing manual test cases for standalone desktop applications. All the interfaces between the TAS and SUT will be from the CUI of the application.

Whichof the following layers of the gTAA should you focus on for the TAS?

A.

The test Generation layer

B.

The Test Definition layer

C.

The Test Adaption layer

D.

The Test Execution layer

Question # 4

Which of the following is NOT a technical design consideration for a TAA?

A.

The number of users for the SUT

B.

Availability of interfaces for the SUT to be testable

C.

Standards and Legal requirements,e.g data privacy

D.

Data used by the SUT, e.g configuration, users

Question # 5

You are executing the first test run of a test automation suite of 200 tests. All the relevant information related to the state of the SUT and to the automated test execution is stored in a small database. During the Automated test run you observe that the first 10 test pass, while an abnormal termination occurs when executing the 11thtest. This test does not complete its execution and the overall execution of thesuite is aborted. An immediate analysis of the abnormal termination is expected to be time consuming and you have been asked to produce a detailed report of the execution results for the first test run, as soon as possible.

What is the MOST important FIRST step to be taken immediately after the abnormal occurred when executing the 11thtest?

A.

Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 12thtest

B.

Return the database to a consistent state that allows subsequent test to run

C.

Take a backup of thedatabase in its current state. So It can be analyzed later

D.

Re-run the test automation suite starting from the 1sttest.

Question # 6

Consider the following layers of the gTAA structure:

a. Test generation layer

b. Test definition layer

c. Test execution layer

d. Test execution layer

Consider the following capabilities associated with these layers.

Acquire all thenecessary resources before each test and release all after run, in order to avoid interdependences between test

Allow the automated test scripts on an abstract level to interact with components, configurations and interfaces of the SUT.

Design test directives that allow configuring the algorithms used to automatically produce the test cases a given model of the SUT.

Allow the definition and implementation of test cases and data by means of templates and/or guidelines.

Which of the following BEST matches each layer with the appropriate capability?

A.

a-3, b-4, c-1, d-2

B.

a-4, b-3, c-1, d-2

C.

a-4, b-3, c-2, d-1

D.

a-3, b-4, c-2, d-1

Question # 7

Which of the following statements does NOT describe good practice for maintaining the TAS?

A.

The TAS must run in the development environment because development and programming knowledge are required for its maintainability

B.

The TAS must be under configuration management, along with the test suite, the testware artefacts and the test environment in which it runs

C.

The TAS must separate the test scripts fromthe environment in which it runs and from the associated harnesses and artefacts

D.

The TAS must consist of components that can be easily replaced without affecting the overall behavior of the TAS itself

Question # 8

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.

Maturity of the test process

B.

Complexity to automate

C.

Frequency of use

D.

Sustainability of the automated environment

Question # 9

Which of the following success factors for a test automation project is TRUE?

A.

Automated tests must be designed to capture only the datathat is strictly needed for comparing expected and actual results

B.

The test cases to be automated first must always be selected based on the number of times a test will need to be run

C.

The test cases to be automated must have a high dependency on particular data values

D.

Automated tests that fail due to changes in the requirements of the SUT should be promptly fixed rather than disabled from the test suite

Question # 10

Which of the following statements about the reuse of TAS artefacts is TRUE?

A.

Reusable TAS artefacts can include components (or parts of components) associated with different layers of the TAA

B.

To enable reuse of TAS artefacts, a good design for reuse is built into the TAA and to further action are needed during the TAS lifecycle

C.

Communications maintenance and improvements for reusing TAS artefacts are modifyaddressed during the design of the TAA

D.

Reusable TAS artifacts associated with the definition layer of the TAA include the adaptors to the SUT components and/or interfaces
