A SUT (SUT1) is a client-server system based on a thin client. The client is primarily a display and input
interface, while the server provides almost all the resources and functionality of the system. Another SUT
(SUT2) is a client-server system based on a fat client that relies little on the server and provides most of the resources and functionality of the system. A given TAS is used to implement automated tests on both SUT1
and SUT2. The main objective of the TAS is to cover as many system functionalities as possible through
automated tests executed as fast as possible. Which of the following statements about the automation solution
is BEST in this scenario?
An automated test case that should always pass sometimes passes and sometimes fails intermittently (nondeterministic behavior) when executed in the same test environment, even if no code (i.e., SUT code or the
test automation code) has been changed. Which of the following statements about the root cause of this nondeterministic behavior is TRUE?
Automated tests run by a TAS on a SUT can be subject to sudden bursts of messages to log during their
execution. All log messages that occur during execution must be permanently stored in the corresponding test
execution logs by the TAS for later analysis. If logging is not performed correctly, these bursts can reduce the
execution speed of these automated tests, causing them to produce unreliable results. Which of the following
solutions would you expect to be MOST useful to address this issue for TAS logging?
