BCS Exam TAE Topic 7 Question 48 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's TAE exam

Question #: 48
Topic #: 7

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?

AThe connectivity from the TAS to the dedicated test interfaces will not work

BThe process of configuring the TAS will be error-phone due to manual intervention

CThe automated test cases will not contain the expected result

DFalse alarms, that are unlikely to occur in the real world, will be observed during testing

I see your point, Sylvia. False alarms could definitely impact the reliability of the test results.

I believe D) False alarms during testing could also be a significant risk, as it may lead to incorrect conclusions about the SUT's behavior.

I agree with Malcom. If the connectivity doesn't work, then the tests won't be able to interact with the SUT properly.

The process of configuring the TAS seems like a headache waiting to happen. Too much manual intervention is a recipe for disaster.

Haha, imagine if the test cases didn't have the expected results. That would be a real face-palm moment!

Well, at least they're not using a ouija board to configure the TAS. That would be even more error-prone!

I think the most specific risk would be A) The connectivity from the TAS to the dedicated test interfaces will not work.

Option D definitely seems the most relevant. These dedicated test interfaces could introduce some edge cases that don't reflect real-world scenarios.

We need to make sure the test environment is as close to real-world conditions as possible.

Definitely, we should make sure the test cases are realistic and not just based on edge cases.

I think we need to be extra careful when setting up the automated tests with those new interfaces.
