ISTQB CT-TAE – Certified Tester Test Automation Engineer — Question 31

Which of the following statements about the reuse of TAS artifacts is true?

Answer options

• A. Reusable TAS artifacts can include components (or part of them) associated with different layers of the TAA
• B. To enable reuse of TAS artifacts a good design for reuse built into the TAA is needed and no further actions are needed during the TAS lifecycle
• C. Continuous maintenance and improvements for reusing TAS artifacts are mostly addressed during the design of the TAA
• D. Reusable TAS artifacts associated with the definition layer of the TAA include the adaptors to the SUT components and/or interfaces

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because continuous maintenance and improvements for reusing TAS artifacts are indeed managed during the TAA's design phase. Option A is incorrect as it does not specifically address the focus on maintenance. Option B is misleading because it implies no further actions are necessary after the TAA design, which is not accurate. Option D is also incorrect as it focuses too narrowly on the definition layer without addressing the overall reuse strategy.
