Automation Testing BDD and TDD in Test Automation 3

Question 1

What is SpecFlow primarily used for in .NET test automation?

Accepted Answer

Implementing BDD with Gherkin syntax in .NET applications

Answer

Load testing .NET web services and APIs

Answer

Generating code coverage reports for .NET unit tests

Answer

Mocking external dependencies in .NET unit tests

Question 2

In BDD, what is a 'feature file'?

Accepted Answer

A plain-text file containing Gherkin scenarios describing application behavior

Answer

A configuration file for the test automation framework

Answer

A file that stores test execution results and screenshots

Answer

A source code file containing step definition implementations

Question 3

What does ATDD stand for, and what distinguishes it from standard TDD?

Accepted Answer

Acceptance Test-Driven Development; tests are written from the user/business acceptance perspective

Answer

Automated Test Deployment Definitions; tests are auto-deployed to CI/CD pipelines

Answer

Advanced Technical Design Documentation; focuses on architectural-level tests only

Answer

Asynchronous Test Data Driver; handles asynchronous test execution scenarios

Question 4

Which Python library is most commonly used for BDD-style test automation with Gherkin feature files?

Accepted Answer

behave

Answer

unittest

Answer

pytest-django

Answer

mock

Question 5

In TDD, what is the primary purpose of the 'refactor' phase after all tests are passing?

Accepted Answer

To improve code quality and design without changing the external behavior

Answer

To add more test cases to increase code coverage metrics

Answer

To rewrite failing tests to match the current implementation

Answer

To replace unit tests with integration tests for better confidence

Question 6

What is the 'outside-in' testing approach associated with BDD?

Accepted Answer

Starting with high-level acceptance tests and working inward toward lower-level unit tests

Answer

Starting with database-layer tests and moving outward toward the UI layer

Answer

Testing external third-party APIs before testing internal application components

Answer

Running tests from an external environment targeting an internal staging server

Question 7

What is the purpose of the 'And' and 'But' keywords in Gherkin syntax?

Accepted Answer

They extend Given, When, or Then steps to improve readability without repeating the same keyword

Answer

They define alternative execution paths within a single scenario

Answer

They import external feature files and their scenarios into the current file

Answer

They mark optional steps that may be conditionally skipped during execution
