QuestionQ26

Preparing for Test Automation

You are working as a TAE for a small start-up insurance broker, and your next project is a new system to generate motor insurance quotes. The project will use an Agile methodology. The stakeholders are eager to put it into production, but they realistically recognize the need to allow sufficient time for thorough testing and to automate tests where appropriate.

Which test-automation approach would be MOST suitable for this project?

  • A Structured scripting.
  • B Data-driven testing.
  • C Linear scripting.
  • D Keyword-driven testing.
Explanation

Data-driven testing separates reusable test procedures from the input and expected-result data, so the same quote-generation workflow can be executed across many insurance-rating and validation scenarios. It supports thorough, repeatable coverage and lets additional data variations be added with less scripting effort. ISTQB notes that this approach reduces the cost of adding automated tests and is suited to testing many variations of a useful test, increasing coverage in a specific area.
