1.Differentiate
between QA and QC?
QA:
It is process oriented
it envolve in entire process of
software developement.
Preventin oriented.
QC:It
is product oriented.
work to examin the
quality of product.
Dedection orientd.
2.what
is a bug?
A
computer bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a
computer program that
prevents
it from working correctly or produces an incorrect result.
3.what
is a test case?
A.Testcase
is set of input values, execution preconditions,expected results and
execution
postconditions, developed for a particular objective or
test conditons, such as to exercise a
paticular program path or to
verify compliance with a specific requiremnt.
4.What
is the purpose of test plan in your project?
A.test
plan document is prepared by the test lead,it contains the contents
like
introduction,objectives,test stratergy,scope,test
items,program modules user
procedures,features to be tested
features not to tested approach,pass or fail
criteria,testing
process,test
deliverables,testing,tasks,responsibilities,resources,schedu
le,environmental
requirements,risks & contingencies,change management
procedures,plan
approvals,etc all these things help a test manager
undersatnd the testing he should do &
what he should follow
for testing that particular project.
5.When
the relationship occur between tester and developer?
A.developer
is the one who sends the application to the tester by doing all the
necessary code in
the application and sends the marshal id to the
tester.The tester is the one who gives all the
input/output and
checks whether he is getting reqd output or not.A developer is the
one who
works on inside interfacing where as the tester is the one
who works on outside interfacing
6.when
testing will starts in a project?
A.the
testing is not getting started after the coding.after release the
build the testers perform the smoke test.smoke test is the first test
which is done by the testing team.this is according to the testing
team.but, before the releasing of a build the developers will perform
the unit testing.
7.If
a bug has high severity then usually that is treated as high
priority,then why do
priority
given by testengineers/project managers and severity given by
testers?
A.High
severity bugs affects the end users. .. .testers tests an application
with the users point of
view, hence it is given as high
severity.High priority is given to the bugs which affects
the
production.Project managers assign a high priority based on
production point of view.
8.what
is the difference between functional testing and regresion testing
A.functional
testing is a testing
process where we test the functionality/behaviour of each
functional
component of the application...i.e.minimize button,transfer
button,links etc.i.e we
check what is each component doing in that
application...Regression
testing is the testing
the behaviour of the application of the unchanged areas when
there
is a change in the build.i.e we chk whether the changed requirement
has altered the
behaviour of the unchanged areas.the impacted area
may be the whole of the application or
some part of the
application...
10.Do
u know abt integration testing,how do u intregate diff modules?
A.integration
testing means testing an application to verify the data flows between
the
module.for example, when you are testing a bank application
,in account balence it shows the
100$as the available balence.but
in database it shows the 120$. main thing is "integration
done
by the developers and integration testing done by the testers"
11.Do
u know abt configuration management tool,what is the purpose of
maintaining
all
the documents in configuration manage ment tool?
A.It
is focused primarily on maintaining the file changes in the history.
Documents are subjected to change For ex: consider the Test case
document .
Initially you draft the Test cases document and
place it in Version control tool(Visual Source
Safe for
ex).Then you send it for Peer Review .They will provide some comments
and that
document will be saved in VSS again.Similary the
document undergoes changes and all the
changes history will be
maintained in Version control.
It
helps in referring to the previous version of a document.
Also
one person can work on a document (by checking out) at a time.
Also
it keeps track who has done the changes ,time and date.
Generally
all the Test Plan, Test cases,Automation desgin docs are placed in
VSS.
Proper
access rights needs to be given so that the documents dont get
deleted or modified.
12.How
you test database and explain the procedure?
Database Testing is
purely done based on the requirements. You may generalize a
few
features but they won't be complete. In general we look
at
1.Data Correctness (Defaults)
2. Data Storage/Retreival
3.
Database Connectivity (across multiple platforms)
4. Database
Indexing
5. Data Integrity
6. Data Security
13.Suppose
if you press a link in yahooshopping site in leads to some other
company
website?how
to test if any problem in linking from one site to another site?
1)first i will check
whether the mouse cusor is turning into hand icon or not?
2)i will
check the link is highlingting when i place the curosr on the link or
not?
3)the site is opening or not?
4)if the site is opening
then i will check is it opening in another window or the same
window
that the link itself exitst(to check userfriendly ness of
the link)
5)how fast that website is opening?f
6)is the correct
site is opening according to the link?
7)all the items in the site
are opeing or not?
8)all other sublinks are opening or not?
14.what
are the contents of FRS?
F →
Function Behaviours
R → Requirements (Outputs) of the
System that is defined.
S → Specification ( How, What,
When, Where, and Way it behavior's.
FRS →
Function Requirement Specification.
This is a Document
which contains the Functional behavior
of the system or a feature.
This document is also know as EBS External Behaviour
Specification
- Document. Or EFS External Function Specification.
15.what
is meant by Priority nad severity?
Priority
means "Importance of the defect w.r.t cutomer requirement"
Severity
means "Seriousness of the defect w.r.t functionality"
16.what
is meant by Priority nad severity?
Severity:1.
This is assigned by the Test Engineer
2. This is to say how badly
the devation that is occuring is affecting the other modules of
the
build or release.Priority:
1.
This is assigned by the Developer.
2. This is to say how soon the
bug as to be fixed in the main code, so that it pass the
basic
requirement.
Eg.,
The code is to generate some values with some vaild input conditions.
The priority will be
assigned so based on the following
conditions:
a> It is not accepting any value
b> It is
accepting value but output is in non-defined format (say Unicode
Characters).
A good example i used some unicode characters to
generate a left defined arrow, it
displayed correctly but after
saving changes it gave some address value from the
stack of this
server. For more information mail me i will let you know.
17.Give
me some example for high severity and low priority defect?
if suppose the title
of the particular concern is not spelled corectly,it would give a
negative
impact.eg ICICC is spelled as a tittle for the project of
the concern ICICI.then it is a high
severity,low priority defect.
18.what
is basis for testcase review?
the main basis for
the test case review is
1.testing techniques oriented
review
2.requirements oriented review
3.defects oriented
review.
19.what
are the contents of SRS documents?
Software
requirements specifications and Functional requirements
specifications.
20.What
is difference between the Web application testing and Client Server
testing?
A.Testing
the application in intranet(withoutbrowser) is an example for client
-server.(The
company firewalls for the server are not open to
outside world. Outside people cannot access
the application.)So
there will be limited number of people using that
application.
Testing an application in internet(using browser) is
called webtesting. The application which is
accessable by numerous
numbers around the world(World wide web.)
So testing web
application, apart from the above said two testings there are many
other
testings to be done depending on the type of web application
we are testing.
If it is a secured application (like banking site-
we go for security testing etc.)
If it is a ecommerce testing
application we go for Usability etc.. testings.
21.Explain
your web application archtechture?
A.web
application is tested in 3 phases
1. web tier testing -->
browser compatibility
2. middle tier testing --> functionality,
security
3. data base tier testing --> database integrity,
contents
22.Suppose the
product/appication has to deliver to client at 5.00PM,At that
timeyou or your
team member caught a high severity defect at 3PM.(Remember defect
is
high severity)But the the client is cannot wait for long
time.You should deliver the
product at 5.00Pm exactly.then what is
the procedure you follow?
A.the
bug is high severity only so we send the application to the client
and find out the severity
is preyority or not. if its preyority
then we ask him to wait.
Here we found defects/bugs in the last
minute of the deliveryor realese date
Then we have two
options
1.explain the situation to client and ask some more time
to fix the bug.
2.If the client is not ready to give some some
time then analyse the impact of defect/bug and
try to find
workarounds for the defect and mention these issues in the release
notes as
known issues or known limitations or known bugs. Here the
workaround means remeady
process to be followed to overcome the
defect effect.
3.Normally this known issues or known
limitations(defects) will be fixed in next version or next
release
of the software
23.Give
me examples for high priority and low severity defects?
Suppose in one
banking application there is one module ATM Facility. in that ATM
facility whenever we are dipositing/withdrawing money it is not
showing any conformation message but
actually at the back end it
is happening properly with out any mistake means only missing
of
message . in this case as it is happenig properly so there is nothing
wrong with the
application but as end user is not getting any
conformation message so he/she will be
confuse for this.So we can
consider this issue as HIGH Priority but LOW Severity defects..
24.Explain
about Bug life cycle?
1)tester->
2)
open defect->
3)send to developer
4)->if accepted moves
to step5 else sends the bug to tester gain
5)fixed by developer
->
6)regression testing->
7)no problem inbuilt and
signoff
8)->if problem in built reopen the issue send to step3
25.How
can you report the defect using excel sheet?
To report the defect
using excel sheet
Mention : The Feture that been effected.
mention
: Test Case ID (Which fail you can even mention any other which
are
dependency on this bug)
Mention
: Actual Behavior
Mention
: Expected Behavior as mentioned in Test Case or EFS or EBS or SRS
document
with section
Mention : Your Test
Setup used during Testing
Mention : Steps to Re-Produce the bug
Mention
: Additional Info
Mention
: Attach a Screen Shot if it is a GUI bug
Mention
: Which other features it is blocking because of this bug that you
are unable to
execute the
test cases.
Mention
: How much time you took to execute that test case or follow that
specific TC
which leaded to
bug
26.If you have
executed 100 test cases ,every test case passed but apart from
these
testcase you found some defect for which testcase is not
prepared,thwn how you
can report the bug?
While
reporting this bug into bugtracking tool you will generate the
testcase imean put the
steps
to reproduce the bug.
27.what
is the diffn betn web based application and client server application
The basic difference
between web based application & client server application is that
the web application are 3 trier & client based are 2 trier.In web
based changes are made at one place & it is refelected on other
layers also whereas client based separate changes need be installed
on client machine also.
28.what
is testplan? and can you tell the testplan contents?
Test plan is a high
level document which explains the test strategy,time lines and
available
resources in detail.Typically a test plan
contains:
-Objective
-Test strategy
-Resources
-Entry
criteria
-Exit criteria
-Use cases/Test cases
-Tasks
-Features
to be tested and not tested
-Risks/Assumptions
29.How
many testcases can you write per a day, an average figure?
Complex test cases
4-7 per day
Medium test cases 10-15 per day
Normal test cases
20-30 per day
30.Who
will prepare FRS(functional requirement documents)?
What
is the importent of FRS?
The Business Analyst
will pre pare the FRS.
Based on this we are going to prepare test
cases.
It contains
1. Over view of the project
2. Page
elements of the Application(Filed Names)
3. Proto type of the of
the application
4. Business rules and Error States
5. Data Flow
diagrams
6. Use cases contains Actor and Actions and System
Responces
31.How
you can decide the number of testcases are enough for testing the
given
module?
The
developed test cases are coverd all the functionality of the
application we can say
testcases
are enough.If u know the functionality covered or not u can use RTM.
32.What
is the difference between Retesting and Data Driven Testing?
Retesting:it
is manual process in which apllication will be tested with entire new
set of data.
DataDriven Testing(DDT)-It is a Automated testing
process inwhich application is tested with
multiple test data.DDT
is very easy procedure than retesting because the tester should sit
and
need to give different new inputsmanually from front end and
it is very tedious and boring
prodedure.
33.what
is regression testing?
After
the Bug fixed ,testing the application whether the fixed bug is
affecting remaining
functionality of the application or
not.Majorly in regression testing Bug fixed module and it's
connected
modules are checked for thier integrity after bug fixation.
34.How
do u test web application?
Web applicatio
testing
web application shold have the following features
like
1.Attractive User Interface(logos,fonts,alignment)
2.High
Usability options
3.Securiry features(if it has login
feature)
4.Database(back end).
5.Perfromance(appearing speed of
the application on client system)
6.Able to work on different
Browers(Browser compatibility)
,O.S
compatibility(technicalled called as portability)
7.Broken link
testing.........etc
so we need to follow out the following test
strategy.
1.Functionality Testing
2.Performance
Testing(Load,volume,Stress,Scalability)
3.Usability Testing
4.User
Interface Testing(colors,fonts,alignments...)
5.Security
Testing
6.Browser compatibility Testing(differnt versions and
different browser)
7.Brokenlink and Navigation
Testing
8.Database(backend)Testing(data integrity)
9.Portability
testing(Multi O.s Support)....etc
35.How
do u perform regression testing,means what test cases u select for
regression
Regression
testing will be
conducted after any bug fixedor any functionality changed.
During
defect fixing procedure some part of coding may be changed or
functionality may be
manipulated.In this case the old testcases
will be updated or completely re written
according to new features
of the application where bug fixed area.Here possible areas are
old
test cases will be executed as usual or some new testcases
will be added to existing testcases
or some testcases may be
deleted.
36.what
r the client side scripting languages and server side scripting
languages
client
side scripting langages are
javascript,VbScript,PHP...etc
Server
side Scripting languages are
Perl,JSP,ASP,PHP..etc
Clent
side scipting languages are useful to validate the inputs or user
actions from userside or
client side.
Server side Scripting
languages are to validate the inputs at server side.
This
scripting languages provide security for the application. and also
provides dynamic
nature to web or client server application
cleint
side scripting is good because it won't send the unwanted input's to
server for
validation.from frontend it self it validated the user
inputs and restricts the user activities and
guides him
37.If
a very low defect (user interface) Is detected by u and the developer
not
compramising
with that defect what will u do?
user interface
defect is a high visibility defect and easy to reproduce.
Follow
the below procedure
1.Reproduce the defect
2.Capture the defect
screen shots
3.Document the proper inputs that you are used to get
the defect in the derfect report
3.send the defect report with
screen shots, i/ps and procedure for defect reproduction.
before
going to this you must check your computer hard ware configuration
that is same as
developper system configuration. and also check
the system graphic drivers are properly
installed or not. if the
problem in graphic drivers the User interface error will come.
so
first check your side if it is correct from your side then report the
defect by following the
above method.
38.if
u r only person in the office and client asked u for some changes and
u didn,t
get
what the client asked for what will u do?
Onething
here is very important.Nobody will ask test engineer to change
software that is
not your duty,even if it is related to testing
and anybody is not there try to listen care fully if
you are not
understand ask him again and inform to the corresponding people
immediately.
Here the cleint need speedy service,we(our company)
should not get any blame from
customer side.
39.How
to get top two salaries from employee tables
Select
* from emp e where 2>=(select count(*) from emp e where sal>e.sal)
order by desc
sal.
40.How many
Test-Cases can be written for the calculator having 0-9
buttons,Add,Equalto
buttons.The testcases should be focussed only on add-functionality
but
mot GUI.What are those test-cases?
Test-Cases for the
calculator
so here we have 12 buttons totalie
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,ADD,Equalto -12 buttons
here u can press
atleast 4 buttons at a time minimum for example 0+1= for zero u
should
press 'zero' labled buttonfor plus u should press '+'
labled buttonfor one u should press 'one'
labled buttonfor equalto
u should press 'equalto' labled button 0+1=here + and =
positions
will not varyso first number position can be varied from
0 to 9 i.e from permutation and
combinations u can fill that space
in 10 waysin the same waysecond number position can be
varied from
0 to 9 i.e from permutation and combinations u can fill that space in
10 ways
Total number of possibilities are =10x10=100
This
is exhaustive testing methodology and this is not possible in all
cases.
In mathematics we
have one policy that the the function satisfies the starting and
ending
values of a range
then it can satisfy
for entire range of values from starting to
ending.
then we check the
starting conditions i.e one test case for '0+0=' (expected values you
know
thatis '0')then
another testcase for '9+9='(expected values you know thatis '18')only
two
testcases are enough
to test the calculator functionality.
41.what
is positive and negative testing explian with example?
Positive Testing -
testing the system by giving the valid data.
Negative Testing -
testing the system by giving the Invalid data.
For Ex, an
application contains a textbox and as per the user's Requirements the
textbox
should accept only Strings. By providing only String as
input data to the textbox & to check
whether its working
properly or not means it is Positive Testing. If giving the input
other than
String means it is negative Testing..
42.How
will you prepare Test plan. What are the techniques involved in
preparing
the
Test plan.
Test plan means
planning for the release. This includes Project background
Test
Objectives: Brief overview and description of the document
Test
Scope: setting the boundaries
Features being tested
(Functionalities)
Hardware requirements
Software
requirements
Entrance Criteria (When to start testing):
Test environment
established, Builder received from developer, Test case prepared
and
reviewed.
Exit criteria (when to stop testing):
All bug status cycle
are closed, all functionalities are tested, and all high and medium
bugs
are resolved.
Project milestones: dead lines
43.What
are the Defect Life Cycle?
Defect life cycle is
also called as bug life cycle. It has 6stages namely
1.new: found
new bug
2.assigned: bud assigned to developer
3.open :
developer is fixing the bug
4.fixed : developer has fixed the
bug
5.retest: tester retests the application
6.closed/reopened:
if it is ok tester gives closed stauselse he reopens and sends back
to
developer.
44.Expalin
about metrics Management?
Metrics:
is nothing but a measurement analysis.Measurment analysis and
Improvement is one
of
the process area in CMM I L2.
45.What
is performance Testing and Regression Testing?
Performance
Testing:- testing the present wroking condition of the
product
Regression Testing:- Regression Testing is checking for
the newly added functionality causing
any erros interms of
functionality and the common functionality should be stable
in the
latest and the previous versions
46.How
do you review testcase?? Type of Review...
types
of reviewing testcases depends upon company standards,viz..,
peer
review,team lead review,roject manager review.
Some times client
may also review the test cases reg what is approach following for
project.
47.In
which way tester get Build A, BUild B,.. ..Build Z of an application,
just explain
the
process..
After
preparation of testcases project manager will release software
release note in that
Document there will be URL path of the
website link from from that we will receive
the build In case of
web server projects, you will be provided with an URL or a
92.168.***.***
(Web address) which will help you access the
project using a browser from your system.
In
case of Client server, the build is placed in the VSS (Configuration
tool) which will help you
get
the .exe downloaded to your computer.
48.apart
from bug reporting wat is ur involvement in project life cycle
As
a Test engineer We design test cases,prepare testcases Execute
Testcases, track the bugs,
analyse the results report the bugs.
invovled in regression testing, performance of system
testing
system intergration testing At last preparation of Test summary
Report
49.Contents
of test report
There are two
documents,which should be prepared at particual phase.
1.Test
Results document.
2.Test Report document.
Test Results doc will
be prepared at the phase of each type of Testing like FULL
FUNCTIONAL
TEST PASS,REGRESSION TEST PASS,SANITY TEST PASS
etc...Test case execution againest
the application.Once you
prepared this doc,we will send the doc to our TL and PM.By seeing
the
Test Results doc ,TL will come to know the coverage part of the
testcase.Here I
am giving you the contents used in the Test
Results doc.
1.Build No
2.Version
Name
3.Client OS
4.Feature set
5.Main Feature
6.Defined
Testcases on each feature.
7.QA engineer Name
8.Test ecases
executed.(Includes pass and fail)
9.Testcases on HOLD(Includes
blocking testcases and deferred Testcases)
10.Covereage
Report(Which includes the coverage ratings in % ,like % of testcases
covered,%
of testcases failed)
Coming to Test
report,generally we will prepare Test report ,once we rolled out the
product to
our client.This document will be prepared by TL and
delivered to the client.Mainly,this
document describes the what we
have done in the project,chievements we have reached,our
learnings
in throughout the project etc...The other name for Test report is
Project Closure
Report and we will summerize the all the
activities,which have taken place in through out the
project.Here
I am giving your the contents covered in the Test Report.
1.Test
Environment(Should be covered the OS,Application or
webservers,Mahchine
names,Database,etc...)
2.Test Methods(Types
of Tests,we have done in the project like Functional
Testing,Platform
Testing,regression Testing,etc..
3.Major areas
Covered.
4.Bug Tracking Details.(Includes inflow and outflow of
the bus in our delivered project)
5.Work schedule(When we start
the testing and we finished)
6.Defect Analasys
6.1 Defects
logged in different types of tests like Funcational Test,regressiion
Test as per area
wised.
6.2 State of the Defects at end of the
Test cycle.
6.3 Root cause analysys for the bugs marked as NOT A
BUG.
7.QA observations or learnings throught the life cycle
50.Write
high level test cases
Write all the
testcases under high level TC,which can be covered the main
functionalities like
creation,edition,deletion,etc....as per
prescribed in the screen.
Wrtie all the testcases under low level
TC,which can be covered the screen,like input fields are
displayed
as per the requirements,buttons are enabled or disabled,and testcase
for low
priority functionalities.
Example a screen contains two
edit boxes login and password and a pust buttons OK and
Reset and
check box for the label "Remember my password".Now let us
write high level TC
and low level test cases.
HIGH LEVEL
TC
1.Verify that User is able to login with valid login and valid
password.
2.Verify that User is not able to login with invalid
login and valid password.
etc...
..
3.Verify that
Reset button clears the filled screen.
4.Verify that a pop up
message is displayed for blank login.
etc...
etc..
LOW LEVEL
TC
1.Verify that after launching the URL of the application below
fields are displayes in the
screen.
1.Login Name
2.Password.3.OK BUTTON 4.RESET button etc..
5.check box,provided
for the label "remember my pwd" is unchecked.
2.Verify
that OK button should be disabled before selecting login and passwrod
fields.
3.Verify that OK button should ne enabled after selecting
login and password.
4.Verify that User is able to check the check
box,providedfor the label "remember my pwd".
etc..
In
this way,we can categorise all the testcases under HIGH LEVEL and LOW
LEVEL.
51.Wat
is test scenario
Test scenario will
be framed on basis of the requrement,which need to be checked.For
that,we
will frame set of testcases,in other terms,we can say all
the conditions,which can be
determined the testing coverage
againest business requirement.
Please see the below example,which
is exactly matched to my explanation.
As we know all most all the
application are having login screen,which contains login name
and
password.Here is the test scenario for login screen.
Scenario:
USER'S LOGIN
Condtions to be checked to test the above scenario:
----------------------------------------------------
1.Test
login field and Password fields indicisually.
2.Try to login with
valid login and valid password.
3.Try to login with invaling login
and valid pwd. etcc........................................
52.wat
is build duration
it
is a tine gap between old version build and new version build in new
version build some
new
extra features are added
53.wat
is test deliverables
Test deliverables
are nothing but documents preparing after testing like test plan
document
testcase template bugreport templateTest deliverables
will be delivered to the client not only
for the completed
activities ,but also for the activites,which we are implementing for
the
better productivity.(As per the company's standards).Here I am
giving you some of the Test
deliverables in my project.
1.QA
TestPlan
2.Testcase Docs
3.QA Testplan,if we are using
Automation.
4.Automation scripts
5.QA Coverage Matrix
and defect matrix.
6.Traceability Matrix
7.Test Results
doc
8.QA Schesule doc(describes the deadlines)
9.Test Report or
Project Closure Report.(Prepared once we rolled out the project to
client)
10.Weekly status report(sent by PM to the
client)
11.Release Notes.
54.Wat
is ur involvement in test plan
Test lead is
involved in preparing test plan test entgineers are no way related in
preparing test
plan role TE is testcase design ,and execution and
bugtraking and reporting them Genarally TL
is involed in
preparation of the TestPlan.But it is not mandatory only TL will take
main part in
the preparaion of the TP.Test engineer can suggest to
TL,if he(or) she has good understanding
on project and
resources,if he or she has more exp with the project,if TL is wrongly
given
deadlines.If your suggestions are valid,TL will incorporate
all of them to the TestPlan.But in
most of the companies Test
engineers are just audians.
55.which
test cases are not to be automated
All the test cases
which are related to a feature of the product, that keeps on changing
(there are always some or the other enhancements in it). Frequent
enhancements may change the UI, add/remove few controls. Hence such
cases, if automated, would involve lot of a intenance
56.If
a project is long term project , requirements are also changes then
test plan
will
change or not?why
Yes..definitely. If
requirement changes, the design documents, specifications (for
that
particualr module which implements the requiremnts) will also
change. Hence the test plan
would also need to be updated. This is
because "REsource Allocation" is one section in the
test
plan. We would need to write new test cases,review, and
execute it. Hence resource allocation
would have to be done
accordingly. As a result the Test plan would change
57.Explain
VSS
Virtual Sourse
Safe...
After complition of all phages From devolopment side
devoloper store the code in devolopment
folder of VSS,Testing team
copying code from that folder to testing folder, after
compliting
above phages from testing, testers put the build in
base line folder.It is version contrrole Tool
Mainly useful to
devoloper, to storing code and maintains version Copying a code from
VSS By
devoloper is called CHECK-IN Upload the code in to VSS is
called CHECK-OUT.
58.who
will assign severity & priority
the tester/dev
should give the priority based on severity of the bug
Severity
means: is the impact of the bug on the app.i.e seriousness of the bug
interms of the
functionality.
Priority means: is how soon it
should get fixed i.e importance of the bug interms of customer
59.What
is the Difference between Stub Testing and Driver Testing?
stub testing:
In
top down approach,a core module is developed.to test that core
module, small dummy
modules r used.so stubs r small dummy modules
that test the core module.
Driver testing:
in bottom up
approach, small modules r developed.to test them a dummy core module
called
driver is developed.
60.What
is a "Good Tester"?
Is
one who tries to break the developers software and in a position to
venture the bugs. so
that
atleast 80% bugs free software can deliver
61.Wat
is cookie And Session testing?? ??
A small text file of
information that certain Web sites attach to a user's hard drive
while the
user is browsing the Web site. A Cookie can contain
information such as user ID, user
preferences, archive shopping
cart information, etc. Cookies can contain Personally
Identifiable
Information.Session is a connection between a server
and client.
62.How
would u do performance Testing manually for web site.
By
noting the time to load apge or perform any action with stop watch. I
know it sounds
funny
but this is the way performance is tested manualy.
63.What
is usecase? tell me the attribute of usecase?
" Use Case is
desription of functionality certain features of an application
interms of Actors,
actions and responibilities."
Use Case
attributes are:
1. Information of Document, 2. Description, 3.
Objective, 4. Actors, 5.Pre-conditions, 6.Data-
element
desriptions, 7.post conditions, 8.primary flow, 9. Alternative flow
and Business
rules/interaction implimentations and etc....
64.What
is the difference between stress, volume and load testing?
Load Testing:V
gradualy increase the load and check the performance of the
application .v
check at what point or maximum load application can
sustain.
stress testing:In this testing v check the performance of
application under extrime condion
which rarely occurs like
(1)Many
concurrent user access the application for short time.
(2)extra
ordinary long transction.
(3)very short transaction repeted
quckly.
65.when
will do the beta test?when will do the alpha test?
A>Alpha
and Beta tests comes under User acceptance test. We will conduct
these two system
being released.we are giving oppurtunity to
customer to check all functiolities covered or not.
Alpha testing
conducting for software application by real customer at development
site.
Beta testing conducting for software product by model
customer at customer site.
66.How
do you select test cases for Regression Testing(The point is when
there is
change
code how do you come know which part of code or modules it will
affect).
A.Consider
an example of a form which has a username,password and and Login
button.
There is a code change and a new button "Reset"
is introduced. Regression testing(for that
build) will include
testing only the "Login" button and not the Reset button
(testing Reset
button will be a part of cunation testing). Hence
the Regression tester need not worry about
the change in
code,functionality. But he has to make sure that the existing
functionality is
working as desired.Testing of "Reset"
button will be included as a part of Regression, for the
next
build
67.Can
any one explain the example of high servity and low priority, low
servity and high
priority, high servity andhigh priority, low servity and low priority
1.high severity and
high priority - Database connectivity cannot be established by
multiple
users.
2. low severity and low priority - Small issues
like, incorrect number of decimal digits in the
output.
3. low
severity and high priority - Images not updated.
4. high severity
and low priority - In a module of say 2 interfaces, the link between
them is
broken or is not functioning.
(1)High priority &
High Severity:If u click on explorer icon or any other icon then
system
crash.
(2)low prority & low severity:In login window
,spell of ok button is "Ko".
(3)Low priority & high
serverty:In login window ,there is an restruction login name should
be
8 character if user enter 9 or than 9 in that case system get
cresh.
(4)High priority & low severty :Suppose logo of any
brand company is not proper in their
product.so it affect their
business

69.Tell
me abuot your daily activities as a test engineer.
Role:
1.Understanding
the BRS and Usecases Document
2.Giving system demo to PM, System
analyst, designer, Dev lead.
3.Preparing the Test Actions in xls
sheet.
4.Updating the Test Actions based on review commnets by
System analyst/Business Analyst.
5.Preparing the Testcases and
Datasets(System level and global level datasets) in
word
document
6.updating the Test Cases based on review
comments by System analyst.
7.Installing the application-Testing
environment set up.
8.Performing
Functional,GUI,System,Compatibility testing(If necessary), Regression
testing
based on Test cases
9.Preparing the defect report, Bug
tracking list and sending daily status report to PM, leads.
70.In
sdlc process what is the rool of PM,TL,DEVELOPER,tester in each and
every
phase?
pelese explain me in detail?
in the sdlc we have
these phases
1. initial phase
2.analysis phase
3.designing
phase
4.coding phase
5.testing
6.delivery and maintainance
In the initial phase
project manager can prepare a document for the requirements,
team
leader will prepare a team which is having test engineers,
developer will provided by the
project manager, testee will
prepare test cases for that particular project
Analysis
phase all the members have a meeting to finalise the technology to
develop that
project,
the employee, time ,...
Designing phase the
project manager like senior level management will give the directions
and source code to the team members to develop the actual code, that
is guidelines will be given in this phase
Coding
phase developer will develop the actual code using the source code
and they
release
the application to the testee
Testing phase they
deploy their test cases to that application and prepare a bug
profile
document if there is any defect/bug in that application
and send it back to developer,
developer may rectify and releases
tha application as nezt build and if the bug not undestand
it will
send to the project lead in the delivery phase the sr test eng can
deploy the application
in the client environment
Maintainance
phase if the client get any problem with the application it may
solved by the
prject
lead withe help of testers and developers
71.How
do You Test Application with having any requirement and Document?
If it is an existing
system or if a build is available thenwe explore the system while
testing.
This helps knowing thefunctional use of the system, and
its usability.
By asking questions to end users and how they use
it will bemore beneficial. Also, you may
work with BA to know
moreabout the system.
Black box test is nothing but the same where
you explore the system without having any prior
knowledge to the
system.
72.what
is backend testing using SQL?
Executing SQL
statements to check if the data submitted by aGUI program is updated
in the
database or not?Eecuting the statement the data base is
connecting to that particular changes
, updations or not it will
test.Backend testing is the testing the integration between
the
applicationa and the database. It is checking the changes made
in the database is getting
reflected in the application.
Example:
A new column is added in the table. Here we test by giving values in
the
application
and value has to be stored in the table.
73.What
are the reasons why parameterization is necessary whenload testing
the
Web
server and the database server?
When you test your
applications, you may want to check how the application performs
the
same operations with multiple sets of data. For example,
suppose you want to check how
your Web site responds to ten
separate sets of data. You could record ten separate tests, each
with
its own set of data. Alternatively, you can create Data Table
parameters so that your test
runs ten times, each time using a
different set of data.
74.difference
between sretagic test plan & test plan?
srategic test is a
organisational level term which is applied for all the projects in
the
organisation with small customisations
test plan is project
level term and which can be applied for that specific project
only.
test plan is a srategic document which describes how to
perfoem testing in an efficient
effective and optimsed way.Quality
lead test lead can prepare this test plan
strategic test plan is a
already or new test plan which can bw used in the future for
another
project also with some changes in the same organisation.
75.Draw
Backs of automated testing?
DRAW
BACKS OF AUTMATION
Epensive,lack
of epertisation,all the areas we can not automate
76.When
will u make update and modify the test object properties in the
repository?
when ever the
developer may change any one of the object properties definitely we
have to
change the same in the OR object repository. if new
version net build released from the
devlopment department wwe the
test engs must to modify or update the same is compulsary,
other
wise tha test will show the bug
77.What
are the document needed to create a test case?How u tell it is test
case?
System
requirements specification, Use case document, Test Plan
78.In customer
details form having fields like customer name,customer address.
after
completion of this module, client raise the change as insert the two
radio
buttons after customer address. how you can check as a
tester.
1.First we need to
verify wheater the radio button are there are not?
2.Conform the
radio buttons are present after the customer address or not.
3.verify
the no of radio button.
4. verify only one radio button should be
checked intially when we open the Customer details
form(if it is
mentioned in FS )
5. verify the functionality of the radio buttons
i.e if we check one ratio button ,second radio
button should be
unchecked.
6. verify the spell check of radio button lable
name.
7. verify the allignment of radio buttons in the form.
79.At
the time of testing web based applications and client server
apllications, what
you
absorved as a tester?
We
generally check for the links,data retrieving and posting.
We
perform load and stress testing especially for Web based and
Client-Server applications.
80.What
are the documents required to prepare test plan?
Introduction,scope,test
team and their responsibilities,test
environment,S/W&H/W
reqiurements,test data preparation,levels
of testing,seviroty&priority,shedule,risk,automation
plan,features
to test,bug life cycle all these are documents of test plan.
81.What
is testing policy and testing methodology? and what is the
difference?
Testing
policy means all types of testing or testing
techniques(i.e.functional testing,sanity
testing
etc).Testing methodology means white box and black box testing.
82.What
is comparison testing?
Comparison Testing
means comparing your software with the beter one or your
Competitor.
While comparisan Testing we basically compare the
Performance of the software.For ex If you
have to do Comparison
Testing of PDF converter(Desktop Based Application) then you
will
compare your software with your Competitor on the basis
of:-
1.Speed of Conversion PDF file into Word.
2.Quality of
converted file.
83.What
is the general testing process?
Testing Process:
1.
Tesdt requirements analysis
2. Creation of Test Strategy (Which
includes creation of Test Cases)
3. Creation of Test Plans (Which
includes Test Cases andTest Procedures)
4. Execution of test
cases
5. Anlyze the test results
6. Report the defects if any
84.What
particiption a manual tester can do in documentation?Are there any
tools
available
for only documentation?
yes,
Manual tester will do Sub Test plan documents, as of my knowledge no
tool is used to
prepare
documentation
85.What
is the difference between low and high level test cases? examples
please..
High level Test
cases are those which covers major functionality in the application
(i.e retrive,
update display ,cancel (functionality related
testcases) ,database testcases ).
Low level test cases are those
which are related to UI related testcases.
86.Is
it mandatory to use USECASES or directly one can write test casesfrom
requirments?
Its
not mandatory to write Use Cases, If the requirements are clear you
can go ahead with
Test
Cases. Use Cases are written to know the business flow of the
module/application
87.How
do u develop test harness?
Test
Environment+Test Bed
Test Environment:S/w and H/w
Test Bed:Test
Documents like TestPlan Document ,Test Case Document.
Test
Environment means
• Test Bed installation and configuration
•
Network connectivity’s
• All the Software/ tools Installation
and configuration
• Coordination with Vendors and others
88.given
nrequirement collection doc,tester can prepare which test plan?
test lead can
prepare a test plan which performs testing on an aplication in an
efficient
effective and in an optimised way.test development will
done by the testers using the test
plan in the test plan they
prepare the test strategy
89.tester
with develop ment knowledge will be more effective .justify?
If tester has
experience in Development, it will be useful when testing for logical
thinking
where the error occurs, what is the cause? He can guess
the functionality of component? he
can easily understand the
application environment? those are plus points which people
have
development experience.
Precisely he can justify that
either functionality is wrong or right and can analyze the defects
90.Last
testcase for project will be written in which phase?
As
far as the SDLC is conerned last test case Will be written for
"Maintenance Phase"
As
far as the STLC is conerned last test case Will be written for
"Acceptance Testing"
91.What
is test scenario and test case ?please explain detail
Test Scenario:
Test
scenario is like laying out plans for testing the product,
environmental condition, number
of team members required, making
test plans, making test cases and what all features are to
be
tested for the product. Test scenario is very much dependent on the
product to be tested.
Test scenario is made before the actual
testing starts.
Test Case:
Test case is a document which
provides the steps to be executed which has been planned
earlier.
It also depends on the type of product to be tested. Number of test
cases is
not fixed for any product.
92.What
is the difference between Project Based Testing and Product Based
Testing?
Project based is
nothing but client requirements. product based is nothing but
market
requirements. Ex.striching shirt is a project based and
ready made shirt is product based
93.what is testing process in
related to Application testing Testing process is the one which
tells
you how the application should be tested in order to minimize the
bugs in the application.
One main thing no application can be
released as bug free application which impossible.
94.What
is the difference b/n Testing Methodology and Testing methods?
Testing Methodology
define process, set of rules and principle which are follow by
group
concerned with Testing the application. Here i explain 7
step testing methodology:
1.Test Requirement Analysis
2.Test
Plan
3.Test Design
4.Test execute
5. defect track
6. Test
Automation
7. Test Maintain
Testing methods or we can say that
Testing Techniques:
White Box Testing (Unit Testing, Integration
Testing)
Black Box Testing (System Testing, Functional Testing,
Performance Testing>Load
testing>stress testing>volume
testing & Security Testing)UAT (done by user/client
with
actual/live data
95.What
are starting link to test while website testing?
Web based systems
are those using the internet,intranet and extranets Web based
testing
only needs be done once for any applications using the
web.Web based testing are as follows:
1.Functional
correctness
2.Integration
3.Usability
4.Security
5.Performance
6.Verification
of code
96.How
GUI testing will be done in manual testing for a website?
For any testing
there should be some set of standards to be followed.Particularly in
GUI
testing,look and feel should be good. We should follow the
requirements specification
documents for GUI testing.
There
should be some screen shots (given by client) which we should follow
as it is.
And for button sizes, font,font size ,colours
used,placing of links,objects and the placing of the
objects in
the page should be followed some standards.If we take a button in the
page that
should be some standard size. if the size of that button
is more or less the client feel bad
about that.So we should have
miimum common sence while tesing GUI testing. some time
there may
be some mistakes in the screen shots provided by the client also,but
that is our
responsibility to raise those issues.
97.What
thing should be tested in regresson testing?
While doing
Regression Testing a tester must check that any New updation or
Modification or Change in Functionality of a Particular Component or
Module does not create any disorder and any negative affects on the
functionality of the Application
98.What
are the document required to prepare during testing?
Normally Test
engineers are responsible for any release of a project.Even the
release is for
staging environment or change request release or
production release
The minimum documents are
1.Test Plan
2.Test
Cases
3.Test Case Report
4.Bug report.
5.Release notes(which
contains known issues).
6.installation document.
99.What
is Test data ?Whrere we are using this in testing process?
what
are the importance of this data?
to execute test
cases we shold have test data.this test data should be for positive
and
negative testings.for winrunner we can get this test data from
keyboard,excel sheets or from
data base
100.What
is the difference between test case and test script?
Test case is a
descrption what data to be tested and what data to be inserted what
are the
actions to be done to check actual result against expected
resultWhat are the actual inputs we
will use? What are the
expected results? is called test script
Test Script: Is a short
program written in a programming language used to test part of
the
functionality of the software system. a written set of steps
that should be performed manually
can also be called a test
script,however this is more correctly called a test case.
101.What
is the difference between bug,error,defect.
At
the time of coding mistake error,when the mistake noticed by the
tester defect,tester sends
this
defect to development team if the developeragrees then it is bug
102.what
is the diffrence between qualityassurance and systemtesting explain
in detail with an example?
Quality
Assurance: It is
nothing but building an adequate confidence in the customer that
the
developed software is accoding to requirements.Entire SDLC
comes under QA. It is process oriented.System
Testing: It is the
process of executing entire system ie checking the s/w as well
as
parts of system.
103.How
do you decide when you have 'tested enough?'
When the 90% of
requirements are covered , Maximum defects are rectified
except
(some)low level defects are not covered , customer satisfy
that project and time is less, then
we are closing the testing.
104.
What is the difference between Build Management and Release
Management ?
When
will conduct build verification and end to end testing?
Build Management is
managing the issue fixture tasks in the bulds whereas Release
anagment
is managing the functionality to be incorporated in the
Release.
Build Verification Test(BVT)is done when the build is
first received by the testers. The basic
functionality is checked
with valid data. This is done to check whether the build is testable
or
not. This is done by testers.
End to End testing is also
called system testing. Done by Senior test engineers or Test lead.
105.What
is boudarary value analysis? what is the use of it?
boundry value
analusis is a technique for test data selection.Test engineer chooses
the values
that lie along the data extreems.It includes
max,mim,justinside,justout side,typicalvalues
and
errorvalues.
Boundary Value Analysis is a technique used
for writing the test cases..for example:If a
particular field
accepts the
values from 1 to 1000, then we test that field by
entering only 1, 1000, 0, 1001, 999,2.
i.e we check on the
boundaries and then
minimum-1 , minimum +1 and maximum+1,
maximum-1.
106.What
is equivalence partition? what is the use of it?
Equalance nothing
but select the valid and valid clases example as per client
requirement the
edit box access onaly
3-5 capital alphabets
then we divided in ecp like vaid values only A-Z invalid values are
a-z
and special characters like ^,8<%
107.If
there is no sufficent time for testing & u have to complete the
testing then
what
will u do?
When
I have less time to test the Product then I will take these following
steps---
1)
Sanity or smoke testing
2)
Usabilty Testing
3)
Formal Functionaltyand GUI Testing
4)
Walkthrough with the Prduct
108.What
is meaning by protype in SDLC ?
This is a cyclic
version of the linear model. In this model, once the requirement
analysis is
done and the design for a prototype is made, the
development process gets started.Once the
prototype is created, it
is given to the customer for evaluation. The customer tests
the
package and gives his/her feed back to the developer who
refines the product according to the
customer's exact expectation.
After a finite number of iterations, the final software package
is
given to the customer. In this methodology, the software is
devolved as a result of periodic
shuttling of information between
the customer and developer. This is the most popular
development
model in the contemporary IT industry. Most of the successful
software products
have been developed using this model - as it is
very difficult (even for a whiz kid!)
to comprehend all the
requirements of a customer in one shot. There are many variations
of
this model skewed with respect to the project management styles
of the companies.
New versions of a software product evolve as a
result of prototyping.
109.what
is difference between desktop and web application?
The biggest d/f b/w
Desktop and web application is- Desktop App (DA) is the
machine
independent, hence evry change has only reflects at the
machine level. Where as Web App
(WA) is the Internet dependent
program, hence any change in the program reflects at every
where,
where it becomes use. EX......
Suppose there are 5
machines in DA, 5 time installedindividually at every machine and
if
there is any change made in DA then at every machine change has
to be made. In WA where
the program or Application at the Server
or at the one common machine, then if changes
made at only central
or server or common machine all the changes get reflected at
every
client machine.
110. Difference between application testing and product testing?
Product testing
means when any company does testing for their own (company's)
product
ex... Nortan AntVirus is the Symantec's product; if
Symantec test the Nortan ie. called
as the Product testing. Where
as if any company take some projects from some other
companies
like ABC company takes projects from IBM and test that project on
some charges
ie called as Application Testing.
111.What
is a broken link in web testing and how test it.
When
we clicked on Hyperlink if it opens Page can't be displayed then that
Hyperlink is called
as
Broken link
