Agile Project Management - Automated Testing Example Questions

Test your knowledge of Automated Testing

Question 1

During an agile project, the development team is experiencing issues with manually testing new features. What is the most suitable solution to ensure a scalable and efficient testing approach?

Correct Answer: Implement automated testing

The correct answer is to implement automated testing, as it provides a more scalable and efficient testing approach. Increasing the number of manual testers, allocating more time for manual testing, or hiring a consulting firm would only address the issue temporarily and not provide a long-term solution. Reducing the number of features or performing alpha and beta testing does not address the core problem.

Question 2

A test automation framework was recently introduced to an agile project. What should testers focus on during the transition?

Correct Answer: Collaborating with developers to create maintainable and reusable test scripts

During the transition to a test automation framework, testers should collaborate with developers to create maintainable and reusable test scripts. Ignoring new bugs, automating all test cases, stopping manual testing, or focusing only on automated test results can lead to an inefficient and ineffective testing process.

Question 3

Your Agile team uses the Continuous Integration approach, and you have noticed that automated tests sometimes fail due to flaky tests. What should be the best course of action?

Correct Answer: Investigate and fix the root cause of flaky tests

The correct answer is to investigate and fix the root cause of flaky tests. This ensures that the testing process remains reliable. Ignoring flaky tests, increasing test execution timeout, or manually re-running failed tests won't address the underlying issue. Disabling automated testing or skipping flaky tests would compromise the overall testing quality.
