1.differentiate between QA and QC?
QA:It is process oriented
it evolve in entire process of software development.
Prevention oriented.
QC:
It is product oriented.
work to examine the quality of product.
Detection oriented.
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?
Testcase is set of input values,
execution preconditions,expected results and execution
post-conditions, developed for a
particular objective or test conditions, such as to exercise a particular program
path or to verify compliance with a specific requirement.
4.What is the purpose of test plan
in your project?
test plan document is prepared by
the test lead,it contains the contents like introduction,objectives,test strategy,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,schedule,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?
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 required 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?
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 test engineers/project managers and severity given by testers?
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 regression testing
functional testing is a testing
process where we test the functionality/behavior 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 behavior of the application of the unchanged areas when there is a change
in the build.i.e we check whether the changed requirement has altered the behavior 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 integrate diff modules?
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 balance it shows the
100$as the available balance.but in
database it shows the 120$. main thing is "integration done by the
developers and integration testing done by the testers"
11.do u know about configuration management
tool,what is the purpose of maintaining all the documents in configuration management tool?
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.Similarly 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 design 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?
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?
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?
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 time you 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?
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 when ever 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 anlso 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 sidethen 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 atleat 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
projectlife 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 preapred 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?
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).
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
prject lead in the delivery phase the
sr test eng can deploy the application in the client environment
Maintainance phase if the client get any prblem 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
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.diffrence 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
Thanks for sharing this FAQ. This is very useful for me, informative blog post. Nowadays testing is very important field. it has good scope. learn software testing training Bangalore
