TAE Candidates Ask, Real4exams Answers

Is there a way to preview the TAE material before purchase?

There is, and we recommend it. Real4exams posts a free demo of the BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level: Test Automation Engineer questions on the product page — download it or leave your email and we will send it over. Buying includes 365 days of free updates; when that year runs out, you can extend the update service at a 50% discount from your member zone.

What subject areas does the TAE exam cover?

BCS structures the BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level: Test Automation Engineer exam around 8 domains. The heaviest hitters are Continuous Improvement, Verifying the Test Automation Solution, Test Automation Reporting and Metrics. Start your revision where the weight is, and scroll up to the outline section on this page for the complete topic list.

Where does the TAE exam fit in the BCS certification track?

The TAE exam is the official BCS assessment that awards the BCS Certification certification — a credential at the Advanced level. Passing it proves vendor-validated skills that employers actively look for. It belongs to a broader track that includes ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL), ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level (CTAL), CTAL-TAE, making it a solid anchor for further certifications.

What if I fail the BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level: Test Automation Engineer exam — and when do I get my files?

Delivery first: your TAE product downloads instantly, and a copy reaches your email within one minute of payment. Nothing after 2 hours (spam folder checked)? Contact our online service and we will resolve it at once. Install limits do not exist — use as many computers as you like. On refunds: if you sit the corresponding TAE exam within 60 days of purchase and fail, you qualify for a full refund. File the claim within 2 days after the exam with a scanned enrollment slip and the official Score Report PDF; processing completes within 7 days. The guarantee excludes attempts made within 3 days of purchase, downloads never used in an actual exam, free materials, and expired orders, and the candidate name must match the payer name.

How many questions and how much time does the TAE exam give me?

Expect 40 questions within 90 minutes on the BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level: Test Automation Engineer exam. Divide the two and the pace is unforgiving — there is little slack for second-guessing. Build speed deliberately: run full-length timed sessions in the Real4exams test engine, practice marking hard questions for review, and treat every mock as a dress rehearsal for the real TAE exam.

Is there anything I must do before registering for the TAE exam?

Candidates must hold the ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) certificate before taking the CTAL-TAE examination. Because BCS can revise these requirements, verify the current rules on the official exam page — https://www.bcs.org/qualifications-and-certifications/certifications-for-professionals/software-testing-certifications/istqb-certified-tester-advanced-level-test-automation-engineering/ — before scheduling your BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level: Test Automation Engineer exam.

BCS ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level: Test Automation Engineer Sample Questions:

Question #1
Designing the System Under Test (SUT) for testability is important for a good test automation approach and can also benefit manual test execution.
Which of the following is NOT a consideration when designing for testability?

A. Re-useability: The code written for the SUT must be re-useable for other similar system.
B. Control: the SUT needs to provide interfaces that can be used to perform actions on SUT.
C. Clearly defined architecture: The SUT Architecture needs to provide clear and understandable interfaces giving control and visibility on all test levels.
D. Observability: The SUT needs to provide interface that give insight into the system.

Question #2
Consider A TAS for testing adesktop application via its GUI. All the test cases of the automated test suite contain the same identical sequences of steps at the beginning (to create the necessary objects when doing a preliminary configuration of the test environment and at the end (to remove everything created -specifically for the test itself during the preliminary configuration of the test environment). All automated test cases use the same set of assertion functions from a shared library, for verifying the values in the GUI fields( e.g text boxes).
What is the BEST recommendation for improving the TAS?

A. Implementing standard setup and teardown functions at test case level
B. Improving the architecture of the application in order to improve its testability
C. Adopting a set of standard verification methods for use by all automated tests
D. Implementing keywords with higher level of granularity

Question #3
A regression test suite consist of 500 test cases which are allexecuted manually. The business case for a pilot project is based on the adoption of test automation using a commercial tool that will reduce the execution time by a factor of 90% for 100% of the tests in the regression test suite. The pilot project lastedone month ( as planned) and you are currently its results. At the end of the pilot project, 40% of the regression tests have been automated and their execution time has been reduce by 60%.
Which of the following statements is TRUE in this scenario?

A. The project selected for the pilot is too critical -if should not be too critical or too trivial
B. The target defined for the business case seems difficult to hit - it should be realistic
C. Theduration of the pilot project was too short -it should last unit the success factors are achieved
D. The target defined for the business case is too accurate -it should not be measureable

Question #4
Which of the following BEST describes why it is important to separate test definition from test execution in a TAA?

A. It allows developing steps of the test process without being closely tied to the SUT interface.
B. It allows specify test cases without being closely tied to the tool to run them against the SUT
C. It allow choosing different paradigms (e.g event-driven) for the interaction TAS and SUT
D. It allows testers to findmore defects on the SUT

Question #5
Which of the following statement about the implementation of automated regression testing is FALSE?

A. When automating regression tests, the structure of automated tests must always be thesame as the corresponding manual tests
B. When automating regression tests, the corresponding manual tests should have already been executed to verify they operate correctly
C. When automating regression tests, consideration should be given to how much time would be saved by automation
D. When automating regression tests, the initialization steps set the testpreconditions should be automated wherever possible
