QuestionQ21

Generic Automation Development

What is a recommended approach when the Given section of a Given-When-Then test case grows too large and becomes difficult to manage?

  • A Increase hardware resources to accommodate the complex ‘Given’ steps.
  • B A test case should have one specific purpose only. It's ok to have a comprehensive ‘Given’ section.
  • C It’s ok as long as the ‘Then’ section still verifies the correct behavior.
  • D Redefine the test case to increase granularity or perform refactoring.
Explanation

A large setup section often signals that a test case has accumulated multiple concerns or unnecessary preparation. Refining the test’s scope and refactoring shared setup into appropriate helpers or smaller tests improves clarity, maintainability, and focus.
