BCS Exam TAE Topic 5 Question 47 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's TAE exam

Question #: 47
Topic #: 5

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

AChanging the scripting approach to data-driven scripting

BImplementing keywords with a higher level of granularity

CChanging the wait mechanism to explicit hard-coded waits

DEstablishing an error recovery process for TAS and SUT

Wait, you mean I can't just use the 'make it work' approach? Darn, there goes my plan.

Establishing an error recovery process is always a good idea, but it doesn't directly solve the problem of repeated keyword sequences.

Changing to explicit waits might be a band-aid fix. I'd prefer a more robust solution that addresses the root cause.

Implementing more granular keywords could help, but I'm not sure if that alone will address the code duplication issue.

The data-driven approach seems like the best solution here. Reducing code duplication and increasing reusability is key for a large test suite.
