Actual exam question from ISTQB's CT-TAE

Question #: 1
Topic #: 1

You are working as a TAE for a company who have been using a web test execution tool for a number of years. The tool has been used successfully on ten web applications in the past.
The company are developing a new web application which has a friendly User Interface, but the developers have used an object throughout the application which the tool is unable to recognise. As a result, you have no way of capturing the object or verifying the contents using the automation tool.
What is the first thing you should do about this problem?

A. See if the application can be run on a desktop and if the object can be recognised on the desktop by the tool.
B. Investigate whether the object can be recognised by other test execution tools in the market
C. Ask the developers to remove the object and replace it with some text fields
D. Ask the developers if they can change the object to something that can be recognised by the tool

At first glance, it should be irrelevant whether or not other tools in the market can interact with such object, because changing your TAS should definitely NOT be your first thought. First one should address their devs about the possibility of using standard objects that the current TAS can interact with instead.

Firstly, I think we should investigate to find our own solution, then if it does not work so we can ask the developer to help

As a TAE, we should do investigate the problem before passing it to others (devs), B might take more effort but we will have evidences of our research when talking the problem with developers.
