ISTQB Test Automation Strategy Sample Questions:

01. A manager is about to evaluate an automation solution that has been in use for three years. The proposal is to hold a workshop in which each engineer names the areas they believe are weakest, and to take the areas mentioned most often as the improvement list.
What is the weakness of that approach?
a) A workshop takes the engineers away from maintaining the suite rather than from work of lower value
b) The areas named would reflect what the team notices rather than what the run records show
c) Engineers who joined the team recently would have less to contribute to the workshop than the ones who built the original suite
d) The list would name more areas than the team has the capacity to improve
 
02. A suite reports a 98% pass rate, yet the teams say the automation tells them very little. The evaluation finds that about a third of the scheduled runs never start, because a precondition on the test environment is not met, and that those runs are left out of the reported figure.
What should the evaluation conclude?
a) The pass rate should be recomputed as a rolling average, since occasional gaps in the schedule then matter less
b) The pass rate conceals the real problem, since it is computed only over the runs that managed to start
c) The pass rate is sound, since the runs that did start nearly all succeeded, and the complaint concerns how results are presented
d) The pass rate is too high to be credible, since a suite of this size should be finding more failures
 
03. A team of experienced developers has built a large automated suite. The scripts are well written and the pipeline runs them reliably. The tests cover the parts of the application that were easiest to drive, and when one of them fails nobody can say what that means for the business.
Which capability is this test automation solution missing?
a) Test analysis and domain knowledge, to choose what is worth automating and to judge what failures mean
b) Infrastructure skills, so that the environment can be provisioned for each run
c) More programming capacity, so that the remaining parts of the application can be brought under automation as well
d) A support contract with the tool vendor, so that faults in the tool itself are diagnosed by its engineers
 
04. A team's automated tests print their outcomes to the console, and an engineer reads the log to decide whether a run passed. The tests are about to be moved into a delivery pipeline.
What has to change for the pipeline to use the results?
a) The tests have to be rewritten in the pipeline's own scripting language
b) The tests have to emit results in a form the pipeline can read and aggregate
c) The engineer has to be given a place in the pipeline to record and sign off a verdict for each stage
d) The log has to be archived after each run, so that an engineer can review it whenever a release is being considered
 
05. A test manager has to justify a first investment in test automation for one of the organization's products. The regression pack for that product is large, is run before every release, and its expected results have been stable for two years. The team has the skills to build the suite, and the tool the organization already owns can drive the product's interfaces.
Which further information does the manager most need before committing the investment?
a) How much the organization paid for the tool it already owns
b) How many separate screens the product's user interface presents
c) How many test cases the team has already documented for the product
d) How long the product will stay in service
 
06. A test manager is presenting the objectives of test automation to the business. One of those objectives concerns what the testers do with the time the automation gives back to them.
Which statement describes that objective?
a) Repeated checks are run by the tool, so testers can spend their time on exploratory testing that needs human judgment
b) Test cases no longer have to be designed, because the tool derives them from the code
c) Test maintenance ends, since the tool updates the scripts when the application changes
d) More new defects are found per run, because the tool repeats each check faster than a tester can
 
07. An automation lead reports that 85% of the regression pack is now automated, and asks the steering group to treat that figure as evidence that the release risk is covered.
What does the evaluation need in order to answer the steering group's question?
a) How many of the remaining manual cases could still be automated next quarter
b) How long the automated portion of the pack takes to set up and to execute in full
c) How many of the automated cases were converted from the manual pack during this year
d) Which risks and business flows the automated tests exercise
 
08. An automation suite has to be run in one fixed order: each script depends on records that the script before it left in the database. When a feature was withdrawn from the product, the scripts covering it could not be taken out without the scripts that follow them failing.
Which practice would have avoided this?
a) Add a wait after each script so the records reach the database
b) Record the required running order in the test plan and have the tool read that order before each run
c) Have every script create the data it needs and restore the starting state when it ends
d) Combine the scripts into one long script so the order can never be broken
 
09. An evaluation across six teams finds that each team maintains its own login, setup and reporting code for its automated tests. A recent change to the login screen required six separate repairs.
Which improvement does that finding point to?
a) Ask the development teams to notify the automation teams before they change the login screen
b) Move the common code into a shared, versioned library that every team's tests use, so that one repair serves all six
c) Have each team record its login steps again with a capture tool after every change
d) Give each team a dedicated engineer, funded centrally, so that repairs of this kind are completed on the same day across the organization
 
10. An evaluation finds that the suite runs quickly and that its verdicts are trusted. When a test fails, however, nobody can say which requirement or which risk the failing test relates to, and the team cannot state what the suite as a whole covers.
Which improvement does that finding call for?
a) Establishing traceability from each automated test to the test conditions it covers, so that failures can be assessed and coverage can be stated
b) Grouping the automated tests by the component and the release they belong to, so that related failures are reported together
c) Adding a free-text description to each automated test, so that the engineer who wrote it can be consulted later
d) Recording the execution time of each automated test, so that the slowest parts of the suite become visible
