CTAL-TTA Exam Dumps : Certified Tester Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst

You are working on a complex systems integration project that will soon be deployed to the production environment. This system is replacing a system that was popular with the users and had no outstanding non-functional issues. There are multiple components that interact and these have been developed by various development and testing groups including some outsourced groups. You will be leading the performance testing effort. Although you would prefer to have a dedicated test system for this effort, you will have to use the production system. You can do this testing at a low usage time, but there will be some users on the system and you will be using real data for the tests. You are now planning your performance testing. Unfortunately, there are no requirements for the performance requirements of the system. How do you determine the acceptable performance levels for the various operational profiles?

Your Agile team is developing a web-based system that will allow users to browse and buy online from a store's shopping catalogue. Continuous Integration has been implemented and technically it is working well, running several times per day, but each run is taking almost as much time as the team is prepared to allow. It is clear that after a few more iterations, as the number of tests needed grows with the product, it will be taking too much time.

Which of the four options contains a pair of solutions that will BOTH help to solve this problem?

a.Only include unit and component integration tests in the automated Cl runs.

b.Schedule low priority tests to be the first ones executed in each run, in order to provide rapid build verification.

c.Reduce the extent to which the automated tests go through the user interface, using technical interfaces instead.

d.Reduce the number of Cl cycles run each day.

e.Select a subset of automated tests for the daytime Cl runs, and run as many of the other tests as possible in an overnight cycle.

Within the world of consumer electronics, the amount of embedded software is growing rapidly. The amount of software in high-end television sets has increased by a factor of about eight over the last six years. In addition, the market of consumer electronics has been faced with a 5 -10% price erosion per year. The price of a product is, among a number of other things, determined by the microcontroller used. Therefore, the use of ROM and RAM remains under high pressure in consumer electronic products, leading to severe restrictions on code size.

You are a Technical Test Analyst involved in the review of the architecture of this project.

Which of the following issues would be MOST important to focus on during the review and when verifying the correct implementation?
