[All TAE Questions]

A web application was released into production one year ago, it has regular release which follow a V-model lifecycle and testing is well-established and fully integration into the development lifecycle. You have been asked to implement a TAS for the regression test suite. The regression tests have been developed via the GUI and are expected to be run at least four times a month, for each planned release, for the whole operation solution life of the system (six years). Each screen of the GUI uses several third-party controls which are not compatible with the existing automation solutions. The environment for the automation will be stable, fully controllable and separated from other environments (development, staging, production).

What could be the MOST problematic for this TAS?

AMaturity of the test process

BComplexity to automate

CFrequency of use

DSustainability of the automated environment

This whole thing sounds like a hot mess. I hope the developers at least remembered to leave a few spare keyboards around for the testers to throw at the wall.

D. Sustainability of the auPhuongated environment is the way to go. Having a fully controllable and separated environment is great, but it'll still need a lot of work to keep it running smoothly.

Honestly, I think the frequency of use is the biggest issue. Running the regression tests four times a month for six years? That's a lot of maintenance and upkeep for the auPhuongation suite.

I'm going to go with B. The complexity to automate this application is clearly the most problematic aspect. Those third-party controls are going to be a nightmare to work with.
