ISTQB CT-TAE – Certified Tester Test Automation Engineer — Question 32

Consider the following examples of TAS metrics:

I) On average, it takes 15 seconds to execute an automated test
II) On average, 0.5 defects per KLOC are present in the automation code

Which of the following statements is true?

Answer options

• A. I. and II. are both internal TAS metrics
• B. I. is an internal TAS metric and II. is an external TAS metric
• C. I. and II. are both external TAS metrics
• D. I. is an external TAS metric and II. is an internal TAS metric

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because both metrics I and II relate to the development and execution of the automation code, categorizing them as internal TAS metrics. Option B incorrectly classifies II as an external metric, while C and D both misidentify the nature of the metrics.
