Test execution reporting in Testing Fundamentals - Practice Problems & Coding Challenges

Challenge - 5 Problems

🧠 Conceptual

What does a test execution report typically include?

Imagine you ran a set of tests on a new app feature. What key information would you expect to see in the test execution report?

A A summary of passed and failed tests, error messages, and test duration

B Only the list of test names without results or errors

C User feedback comments unrelated to tests

D The source code of the application tested

💡 Hint

Think about what helps developers quickly understand test outcomes.

A test execution report shows which tests passed or failed, any error details, and how long tests took. This helps teams fix issues efficiently.

❓ Predict Output

intermediate

What is the output of this simple test report summary code?

Given this Python code that simulates a test report summary, what will it print?

Testing Fundamentals

tests = {'login': True, 'signup': False, 'logout': True}
passed = sum(1 for result in tests.values() if result)
failed = len(tests) - passed
print(f"Passed: {passed}, Failed: {failed}")

A Passed: 0, Failed: 3

B Passed: 1, Failed: 2

C Passed: 3, Failed: 0

D Passed: 2, Failed: 1

💡 Hint

Count how many tests have True as result.

Two tests passed (login and logout), one failed (signup). So output is Passed: 2, Failed: 1.

❓ assertion

advanced

Which assertion correctly checks that all tests passed?

You have a list of test results as booleans. Which assertion will confirm all tests passed?

Testing Fundamentals

test_results = [True, True, True, False]

A assert any(test_results) == True

B assert all(test_results) == True

C assert sum(test_results) == len(test_results)

D assert test_results.count(True) > 0

💡 Hint

Think about how to confirm every item is True.

Sum of True values equals the list length only if all are True. Option B correctly asserts all tests passed.

🔧 Debug

advanced

Why does this test report code raise an error?

Look at this code snippet that tries to print test results. Why does it raise an error?

Testing Fundamentals

test_results = {'test1': 'pass', 'test2': 'fail'}
print(f"Failures: {test_results['fail']}")

A KeyError because 'fail' is not a key in the dictionary

B SyntaxError due to missing colon in dictionary

C TypeError because dictionary values are strings

D No error, prints 'Failures: fail'

💡 Hint

Check if the key used in print exists in the dictionary.

The dictionary keys are 'test1' and 'test2'. Accessing 'fail' key causes KeyError.

❓ framework

expert

In a test execution report, which framework feature helps group tests by status automatically?

Which feature of modern test frameworks automatically organizes test results into passed, failed, and skipped groups in reports?

A Using print statements to show test status

B Manual logging inside each test function

C Test result listeners or reporters that categorize tests by outcome

D Writing separate test files for passed and failed tests

💡 Hint

Think about automatic features that help organize test outcomes.

Test result listeners or reporters in frameworks automatically group tests by their status, making reports clear and easy to read.
