The CTAL-TAE_V2 exam contains 40-45 (varies by exam board) questions to be completed within 120-180 (varies by exam provider). Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.
What score do I need to pass the CTAL-TAE_V2 exam, and what does it cost?
The passing score for the CTAL-TAE_V2 exam is 65% (varies by exam board), and the official registration fee is Varies by region; typically USD 200-300. Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 42 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.
Are there any prerequisites for the CTAL-TAE_V2 exam?
ISTQB Foundation Level (CTFL) certification is required; ISTQB Advanced Level Tester (CTAL-TA) is recommended but not mandatory in all exam boards Requirements can change when ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.

ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineering CTAL-TAE (Syllabus v2.0) Sample Questions:
Question #1
(Which of the following statements refers to a typical advantage of test automation?)
A. Automated tests can allow defects to be detected earlier than manual tests because their execution times can be shorter
B. Automated tests can determine whether actual results match expected results, even for non-machine- interpretable results
C. On average, automated tests written at the API level are likely to run faster than automated tests written at the UI level
D. Artificial intelligence can be used to help identify redundant tests within large, long-running automated regression test suites
Question #2
A TAS is used to run on a test environment a suite of automated regression tests, written at the UI level, on different releases of a web app: all executions complete successfully, always providing correct results (i.e., producing neither false positives nor false negatives). The tests, all independent of each other, consist of executable test scripts based on the flow model pattern which has been implemented in a three-layer TAF (test scripts, business logic, core libraries) by expanding the page object model via the facade pattern. Currently the suite takes too long to run, and the test scripts are considered too long in terms of LOC (Lines of Code).
Which of the following recommendations would you provide for improving the TAS (assuming it is possible to perform all of them)?
A. Modify the TAF so that test scripts are based on the page object model, rather than the flow model pattern
B. Modify the architecture of the SUT to improve its testability and, if necessary, the TAA accordingly
C. Implement a mechanism to automatically reboot the entire web app in the event of a crash
D. Split the suite into sub-suites and run each of them concurrently on different test environments
Question #3
A release candidate of a SUT, after being fully integrated with all other necessary systems, has successfully passed all required functional tests (90% were automated tests and 10% were manual tests). Now, it is necessary to perform reliability tests aimed at evaluating whether, under certain conditions, that release will be able to guarantee an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) in the production environment higher than a certain threshold (expressed in CPU time). Which of the following test environments is BEST suited to perform these reliability tests?
A. Local development environment
B. Build environment
C. Preproduction environment
D. Integration environment
Question #4
A CI/CD pipeline consists of two phases: build and deployment. The build phase, among other activities, runs automated test cases at the following test levels: Component Testing (CT) and Component Integration Testing (CIT). If the build phase is successful, the deployment phase is started. The deployment phase first provisions the test environment infrastructure needed to deploy the SUT, then deploys the SUT to this environment, and finally triggers another separate pipeline that runs automated test cases at the following test levels: System Testing (ST) and Acceptance Testing (AT). Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Automated test cases for CT-CIT can act as quality gates, while automated test cases for ST-AT cannot act as quality gates
B. Neither automated test cases for CT-CIT nor automated test cases for ST-AT can act as quality gates
C. Automated test cases for CT-CIT cannot act as quality gates, while automated test cases for ST-AT can act as quality gates
D. Both automated test cases for CT-CIT and ST-AT can act as quality gates
Question #5
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?
A. The TAS should support mainly server-side automation for both SUT1 and SUT2
B. The TAS should support mainly server-side automation for SUT1 and client-side automation for SUT2
C. The TAS should support mainly client-side automation for SUT1 and server-side automation for SUT2
D. The TAS should support mainly client-side automation for both SUT1 and SUT2
