ISTQB CT-TAE – Certified Tester Test Automation Engineer — Question 41

You have just gone through a lengthy installation process with the TAS on a SUT. This installation required setting a number of configuration parameters and tuning the interface code. The TAS is now working on the SUT.

At this point, what should you do to verify that the changes you made to the TAS are correct?

Answer options

• A. Re-install the TAS on the SUT without deleting the previous version and see if any changes result.
• B. Install the TAS on another SUT to see if it will install and work well on other SUTs.
• C. Remove any intrusive tools of the TAS and test it again on the SUT.
• D. Run test scripts with known failures and verify that they now pass.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because installing the TAS on another SUT allows you to check if the configuration changes work consistently across different environments. Options A and C do not effectively validate the modifications made, while D would not provide a reliable assessment of the TAS's functionality since known failures are being tested.
