Topic #: 1

You identified a suitable project to pilot an automation tool and planned and conduced a pilot. The pilot has been successful and tool Is being deployed within your organization, with a plan to increase tool use by the one project at a time. During this rollout some test processes will be changed slightly to gain additional benefits from using the tool.

In the pilot project, a small set of manual tests were automated for the first time. You are currently monitoring the test automation efficiency and this reveals that the automation regime for the tests is not yet mature.

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

AThe approach used for deployed this tool is aligned to the standard success factor for deployment

BThe pilot project should have been critical so that maximum benefits were delivered

CThe target defined for the project was inappropriate, because the automation regime for the automated tests at the end of the pilot is not yet mature.

DThe test process should be radically changed to gain additional benefits from using the tool.

I'm going to have to go with C as well. Can't just slap an automation tool on top of an immature process and expect miracles. Gotta crawl before you can walk, you know?

Haha, 'radically change the test process'? That's a bit extreme, don't you think? I'd go with C. Gotta make sure that automation is really ready before going all-in.

Yeah, I agree. It's important to make sure the automation is mature before making big changes.

Hmm, I'm not sure. The question makes it sound like the pilot was successful, so I'm leaning towards A. Maybe the automation just needs a bit more fine-tuning, but the overall approach seems sound.

I don't think D is necessary. Maybe just some adjustments to the automation regime would be enough to gain additional benefits from using the tool.

I'm not sure about C, the target defined for the project may still be appropriate even if the automation regime is not yet mature.

I agree, the pilot project should have been critical to ensure maximum benefits were delivered. So maybe B could also be a valid option.

I believe the target defined for the project was inappropriate, as the automation regime is not yet mature. We need to reassess our goals.

I think C is the correct answer. The pilot project should have ensured that the automation regime was mature before the full deployment. Rushing the rollout without proper testing will just lead to more issues down the line.

We should have focused on making sure the automation was mature before deploying it organization-wide.
