ISTQB Exam CT-TAE Topic 8 Question 41 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CT-TAE exam

Question #: 41
Topic #: 8

A TAS uses a commercial test automation tool and the default logs generated by the inconsistent formats such as different types of messages (pass/fail steps, screenshots, warnings, etc.) To solve this issue some custom logging functions have been created from the test scripts, making it possible to log the different types of messages with the same format. However, this may cause a problem due to excessive size of the logs which can make it difficult to find the required information. Assume that all the default logs will be disabled when running the automated tests and that some tests will not generate excessively sized logs.

Which of the following represents the BEST suggestion for implementing the custom logging functions?

AImplement the custom logging functions without saving timestamps

BImplement the custom logging functions to support different levels of tracing

CImplement the custom logging functions without saving stack traces

DImplement the custom logging functions to redirect the logs to multiple files

Imagine if we implemented the custom logging without stack traces. How are we supposed to figure out where the issues are? Option B is the clear winner here.

Option D might work, but then we'd have to deal with managing multiple log files. That sounds like a hassle. I'd rather just use the different log levels from Option B.

Haha, I can already imagine the logs getting out of control without timestamps. It's like trying to debug a problem without a clock! Option B is definitely the way to go.

Option B is the best choice here. Implementing custom logging functions with different levels of tracing will allow us to control the granularity of the logs and focus on the most relevant information.
