Question #13 (Topic: Exam A)
You are working on a web-based application called Book Vault that allows people to upload books and order books. This application must be available on all major browsers.
You have been testing the application manually and management have asked you to consider automating some of the tests.
You have investigated a number of commercial and free tools which can automate tests at a web browser level and one tool in particular meets your requirements and you have implemented a trial version.
You have basic programming skills and the main goal is to automate a few functional tests to see if the tool is compatible with the application and can recognise the objects and controls.
Which scripting technique would be MOST suitable in this scenario in order to meet the objectives?

Question #14 (Topic: Exam A)
You are working on a government system called “Making Tax Digital” or MTD for short. This system is being implemented to stop manual human input error and also to reduce fraudulent behaviour from companies when submitting their tax and VAT returns.
The key concept is that registered companies will need to use government recommended 3rd party software for their accounts and book keeping. These 3rd party applications will have a direct interface into the government’s main system for transactions and submissions.
You have been using a test execution tool successfully on the project so far, and have implemented a basic “capture/replay” approach to scripting.
The management have been encouraged with the automation so far, but want the following objectives to be met:
Test cases added easily
Reduction in the amount of scripts and script duplication
Reduction in maintenance costs

Question #15 (Topic: Exam A)
You are implementing test automation for a project that has a business critical application. A test execution tool is being used to run automated regression tests. The results from the test execution tool are very important and need to be 100% accurate.
You want to merge the test automation results with the test management system that also records the manual test results so that managers can make informed decisions about the progress quickly.
Which layer of the gTAA will be used to ensure the proper reporting occurs and the interfaces to the test management system are handled?
