Which practice improves the reusability of automated tests?

Writing tests that are tightly coupled to specific UI elements

Creating modular test components that can be shared across test cases

Hard-coding test data within each test script

Duplicating test steps in every test case

What is a primary goal of automation framework design?

To eliminate the need for test data management

To create a framework that is scalable and maintainable

To ensure the framework works only for one specific test

To make the framework as complex as possible

A development team uses a CI/CD pipeline to build and deploy a microservices application. They want to include automated tests in the pipeline to provide fast feedback. However, the full test suite takes over an hour to run, which slows down the pipeline. What is the best way to integrate the tests into the CI/CD pipeline?

Run the full test suite on every commit to ensure maximum quality, even if it takes over an hour.

Run a small set of smoke tests on every commit and run the full regression suite nightly or on demand.

Run the full test suite only on the main branch after merge, and not on feature branches.

Remove the automated tests from the pipeline and run them manually before each release.

Which of the following is a technique to improve the performance of a large automated test suite?

Running tests sequentially on a single machine

Running tests in parallel across multiple environments

Increasing the number of assertions in each test

Which of the following is a common practice when integrating automated tests into a CI/CD pipeline?

Running tests in a dedicated test environment

Running tests manually before each release

Skipping tests when code changes are small
