Test your knowledge of Test Automation

Question 1

You notice that your agile team is spending a significant amount of time maintaining the test automation scripts due to frequent UI changes in the application. What approach should your team take to minimize maintenance effort?

Correct Answer: Use a data-driven testing approach and separate test data from the automation scripts.

The correct answer suggests using a data-driven testing approach and separating test data from the automation scripts, which minimizes maintenance effort and makes the test suite more reusable and adaptable. The wrong answers involve resorting to less effective strategies, ignoring certain aspects of the application, or relying on end users for feedback.

Question 2

You're setting up a Continuous Integration (CI) Pipeline for your project. Which step should be included to ensure effective Test Automation?

Correct Answer: Integrate the test automation suite into the CI pipeline

Incorporating the test automation suite into the CI pipeline allows you to run tests automatically during each integration, ensuring quality and consistency. Running tests separately, manually, or only on specific branches does not provide the level of quality assurance needed for CI.

Question 3

Your application has a large number of test cases. To maintain efficiency, you need to select an appropriate method for test automation. What approach would you take?

Correct Answer: Implement a Parallel Execution strategy

Parallel execution enables the running of multiple test cases simultaneously, which reduces test execution time and maintains efficiency. Executing sequentially or cherry-picking tests would not provide the desired speed, while manually running tests or running a small set of test cases would not cover all necessary cases.
