ISTQB CT-TAE – Certified Tester Test Automation Engineer — Question 16

If you are tracking the frequency that a test automation code reports a defect that is not really a defect, what metric are you gathering?

Answer options

• A. Tool scripting metrics
• B. Automation code defect density
• C. Trend metrics
• D. The number of false-fail results

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it specifically refers to the instances where test automation fails by reporting a defect that isn't real. The other options do not directly address the occurrence of false positives in test automation results.
