A team is developing a microservices architecture with services written in different languages (Java, Python, Node.js). They want a unified way to run component tests for all services in their CI pipeline. Which approach is most effective?

Use a containerization tool like Docker to run all tests in a single container.

Write custom scripts to run tests for all services in a single command.

Use a CI tool that can invoke each service's native build tool (e.g., Maven, pytest, npm) in separate pipeline stages.

Standardize on a single build tool (e.g., Maven) for all services, regardless of language.

How are component tests typically integrated into a build tool?

By writing tests directly into the build tool's source code

By defining test execution as a step in the build lifecycle

By manually running tests after the build completes

By using a separate test tool that is never invoked by the build

How do build tools support continuous integration (CI)?

By automating the build and test process whenever code is committed

By preventing developers from committing code directly

By only building code at the end of each sprint

By requiring manual approval before every build

Component Testing and Build Tools CTAL-TTA Practice Questions (Page 3)

Part of the Domain 6: Test Tools and Automation domain, which makes up ~25% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 120-minute exam (~50–80 total, ~13–20 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 25 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
