Exam CT-TAE topic 1 question 34 discussion

Actual exam question from ISTQB's CT-TAE
Question #: 34
Topic #: 1
[All CT-TAE Questions]

Your organisation has successfully implemented a Test Automaton Solution (TAS) for a new project which has since been delivered into production via a number of sprints. A series of maintenance releases are now planned.
Some improvements were made to the Test Automation Architecture (TAA) as a result of feedback from the early sprints. The TAA improvements affected the TA, and the TAS was changed for the final sprint.
The new version of the TAS was generally well received but some performance and usability issues were encountered with the TAS which have yet to be addressed.
The test automation engineers supporting the maintenance releases must decide whether to use the enhanced TAS or the version that was used successfully for previous sprints.
What is the BEST action to take next?

  • A. Perform an analysis of risks versus benefits for the enhanced TAS and then decide which version to use.
  • B. Use the previous version because this was proven to work. It will be too risky to use the new version, with unresolved issues, for a live system.
  • C. Use the new version because, despite some issues, it works, and the live system should not be tested using a different TAS.
  • D. Use the new version of the TAS for the first maintenance release on a trial basis. If issues are encountered, switch to the previous version for later releases until the issues are resolved.

Selected Answer: A
Correct answer is A See Syllabus: When maintenance deployment occurs, the following steps are needed:  Make an assessment of the changes in the new version of the TAS compared to the old one  Test the TAS for both new functionality and regressions  Check if the test suite needs to be adapted to the new version of the TAS
