Which of the following should be done when checking the composition of the test suite?
A.
Check and verify the use of any new features in the current version of the TAF
B.
Check and consider the effects of intrusiveness of the automated test tools
C.
Check that the tests are linked to the correct versions of the TAF and SUT
D.
Check that the test results are always the same, i.e., that the tests are repeatable
The Answer Is:
C
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
ISTQB distinguishes several verification activities for an automated test suite: checking its composition, verifying tests that use new TAF features, considering repeatability, and examining tool intrusiveness. When specifically checking test-suite composition, the syllabus requires checking completeness and confirming that the correct versions of the TAF and SUT are being used. This prevents a suite from being executed against incompatible framework or application versions and helps ensure that its expected results and test data remain valid. Option A belongs to the separate activity of verifying new TAF features. Option B concerns the separate assessment of automation-tool intrusiveness. Option D describes repeatability, where repeated execution should produce reliable and consistent results. Since the question asks specifically about composition, validating the correct TAF and SUT versions is the precise syllabus-defined action.
