ISTQB CT-TAE – Certified Tester Test Automation Engineer — Question 57

Your project is transitioning from manual to automated testing. You have decided to implement a pilot project so that lessons learned can inform future time estimates and schedules.
Which two of the following represent the types of test cases that are MOST suited to a test automation pilot project? a) High added value test cases that require little effort to automate. b) Test that are run infrequently as these will be simpler to automate c) Reliability test cases that can show added value soon d) Technically challenging test cases to provide the best validation of manual test conversion e) Tests that are least Important to the business as these are safer to trial

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as high added value test cases that require minimal effort to automate (option a) and reliability test cases that can demonstrate benefits quickly (option c) are ideal for a pilot project. Options A and C include test cases that are either not frequently run or technically challenging, which may not provide quick and valuable insights. Option D suggests focusing on less important tests, which would not be beneficial for the pilot.
