Which of the following is a typical goal of test automation reporting?

To track the progress of the test automation implementation

To replace the need for defect tracking tools

To eliminate the need for manual test execution entirely

To increase the number of test cases in the suite

Which of the following is an example of SUT data that could be collected during an automated test?

Response time of the SUT to a specific request

The pass/fail status of the test case

The duration of the test execution

The number of test steps in the automation script

Where would a test automation engineer typically find raw data about test execution results?

Execution logs generated by the test automation tool

The test automation framework's source code repository

The system under test's user manual

The project's requirements specification document

A test automation engineer is troubleshooting a flaky test that fails intermittently. The test log shows that the failure occurs at different steps each time. The engineer suspects the issue is related to the test environment rather than the application. Which data source would provide the most useful evidence to confirm this?

The test automation tool's version history

Resource utilization metrics from the test environment (CPU, memory, network) at the time of each failure

The test data used in the test case

What is the purpose of analyzing test automation results over multiple runs?

To delete all failed test cases from the suite

To identify trends in pass/fail rates over time

To increase the number of test cases in the suite

To replace the need for manual test execution

Objective: Analyze Data from the Test Automation Solution and the System Under Test CTAL-TAE Practice Questions (Page 1)

Part of the Domain 6: Test Automation Reporting and Metrics domain, which makes up ~12% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~4–7 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 34 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
