The consistency and functionality of a new set of automated tests for an appplication's GUI that your company has developed has to be verified. You have recently verified that the environment is configured correctly and supports the suite, and that the suite is functioning. How can you be sure the suite is operating correctly in the given environment?

As a test automation engineer, you are assessing a functional test tool that will be used for multiple projects in your company. The projects require that tool to work effectively and efficiently with SUT's in distributed environments. Additionally, the automated test tool must connect with the other tools currently in use, such as the defect tracking tools and test management tools. The current test tools are susceptible to scheduled upgrades, and following these updates, their interface with the automated test tool might not function properly. Which two of the following represent the LEAST concerns with regard to this scenario?

Recently, your team created and implemented a test automation solution in the testing environment. There were numerous issues with the whole run of the tests when testing the automation code, and it was challenging to figure out where and why it failed.. Although there is a possibility that other issues are to blame, there is a possibility that the failure is linked in some way to the randomly generated data that is employed. It was observed that the tests did not consistently fail at the same iteration or at the same place in the code. They can operate for hours before failing, or they can fail quite instantly. It is your responsibility to create the test automation architecture's logging, including the necessary SUT data. In light of this situation, which of the following should you make sure to include in your saved information to help diagnose this problem? Choose in 2

Consider a TAS for testing a web application via its GUI. In order to create the necessary objects when performing a preliminary configuration of the test environment, each test case in the automated test suite follows the same exact sequence of steps at the beginning and end. Additionally, the same set of assertion methods (from a shared library) are used in all of these automated test cases to confirm the obtained values in the GUI fields. Which of the following suggestions, assuming you could implement them all, would you make to improve the TAS based only on the information provided?
