QuestionQ8

Continuous Improvement

You are a TAE responsible for a TAS used across several products, all of which have complex UIs. A substantial proportion of the automated tests fail regularly, usually for UI-related reasons. The required investigation and maintenance are significantly reducing team productivity and return on investment.

You are seeking ways to improve the test cases in this TAS. Which of the following approaches would be MOST appropriate?

  • Artificial intelligence.
  • Test histograms.
  • Reliability growth modelling.
  • Schema validation.
  • Operational profiles.
  • A a and b.
  • B b and c.
  • C c and d.
  • D d and e.
Explanation

AI-based algorithms can identify broken UI locators and self-heal affected automated tests, reducing maintenance caused by UI changes. Test histograms identify fragile test cases so maintenance can be targeted effectively. Reliability growth modelling and operational profiles evaluate system reliability or operational use, while schema validation applies to API contracts rather than UI-test fragility.
