ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level – Agile Tester (CTFL-AT) — Question 13

Which two of the following statements are CORRECT with regards to test automation on agile projects? i) Every test developed for past iterations is kept and executed as part of a regression suite for each new release of code. ii) It would be very difficult to ensure high quality in an agile project without test automation. iii) Automated acceptance tests are run regularly as part of the continuous integration full system build. iv) Automated regression suites are only run for the final release of code. v) In agile projects, the results from automated acceptance tests provide feedback on the overall product quality.

Answer options

• A. iii, iv
• B. ii, v
• C. i, iii
• D. ii, iii

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because ensuring high quality in agile projects often relies on test automation (statement ii), and the results from automated acceptance tests indeed offer insights into the overall product quality (statement v). Statements i and iv are incorrect since regression suites should be maintained and run regularly, not just at the final release, and statement iii is true but does not pair with another correct statement in this context.
