ISTQB CT-TAE – Certified Tester Test Automation Engineer — Question 53

Which of the following regression tests are the best candidates for test automation?

Answer options

• A. Tests that are run only for major releases
• B. Tests that are run daily as part of the build verification
• C. Tests that are run infrequently, but are easy to automate
• D. Tests that are run only at year end by domain experts and require variable data setup

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because tests that are run daily as part of build verification are ideal for automation due to their frequency and the need for quick feedback. Options A and D are not suitable since they are infrequent and tied to specific release cycles or events, while C, although easy to automate, may not provide enough value if run infrequently.
