Test Automation — question 5 of 10
Write a real answer. It is graded against the question's rubric, and the mastery movement is computed by the same engine the product uses. Scoring here is deterministic rather than model-written, so this page costs nothing to run and nothing is saved. In a track built from your own posting, the same rubric is graded by the model, which is what produces feedback about your reasoning rather than about coverage.
Your automated test suite talks to an oscilloscope over VISA to capture a rising-edge screenshot for every board in a queue. About 1 run in 50, the script throws a VISA timeout error and the entire suite crashes, taking down the rest of that day's queue with it. How would you change the script's interaction with the instrument so a single timeout doesn't kill the whole run, and what would you want to know about why the timeout is happening in the first place?
