Manual-Testing Questions

(http://www.allinterview.com/Interview-Questions/Manual-Testing.html)

1. What is main difference between Testing Techiques and Testing Methodology?

Testing methodology is nothing but the method your using in your company for eg: waterfall method or V model or spiral model etc.Testing techniques is like black box, white box etc

2. How do u approach for testing a web application?

http://geekswithblogs.net/ppothuraju/archive/2004/06/11/6473.aspx

3. what is mean by exactly the difference between the testcase and usecase?A] An usecase are prepared from BRS.this will be in document form only which can be understand by the team.it describe about how the software should when the end user uses .where as testcases are written by tester using SRS.testcase are used for testing the functionality or behavior of the application

B] Actually Test cases are derived from use casesuse cases contains field validation of fieldsPositive and negative scenarios for each each functionalityDifference between test case and use case contains only validations but the test case contains test data 

4. Can u define the usecase and testcase.UseCase : It is indepth detailed description about Customer Requirments. It is developed from BRS/SRS. It is prepared by business analyst or QA Lead.

Testcase: It is a document describing the input,action and expected response to determine whether the application is working correctly according to the customer requirments.It is derived from srs,usecases and test scenarios.While developing test cases we can find gaps in the requirments also.

5. As a tester, what is the final report u submitted to ur customer? please write it in tabular form?

6. what is bug life cycle?Bug Life Cycle is the different status a bug takes in the process of it being FIXED.The status can be New,Reject,Open,Fixed,Reopen,Retest,Closed.

7. which process u followed in ur company?Well the maintainence projects do not have any process as such :

On my expereience we follow :My 2nd Project :Iterative Model Process ( FSD was not signed off from the client and kept changing )

My 3rd Project :V Model ( Developers were in USA and we were in India )

8. what is the format of traceability matrix u prepared in ur company?As a tester, what is the final report u submitted to ur customer? and what is its format? write it in tabular form?

9. what is traceability matrix?Traceability matrix is nothing but mapping User requirements to Test cases.This ensures that u have written enough test cases covering all the functionalities.

10. Project had been started in Manual testing and Automation of some fixed modules, Then finally decided to Test the total Application in Automation then it is possible to test that application.

A] No. Initially atleast some modules should be done with the help of manual testing.

B] yes we can do by automation,because from manual to automation is easy[time consuming,less cost,resources]but automation to manual will take more expensive,long duration,less accuracy

11. what is the purpose of using Tracability Matrix and how can you tell that testing has been succseed.

In Tracilibility matrix we will map the Test Cases with Particular Test Scenario so that we can find that any scenario is missed and if the total scenario are mapped with particular Testcases then the testing is fullfilled.

12. What is the main theme of doing Regression TestingA] By doing the Regression testing we can make sure that any new bug fixes did not change the functionality of the application.B] I think the main purpose of Regression is to know that any impact on the functionality of the application or specific module where the developer had changed the code while fixing the bug. Tester had to test the total scenarios not that particular scenario in Regression

13. How can you define Priority and severityPriority: This is defined as how much time that developer should take to solve that bug depending upon the

fuctionality.

Severity: This is defined as how much impact is shown on the functionality.

14. Describe Bug life Cycle and the process taken in your organization.As soon as Test Engineer finds a Bug will Raise the bug as in NEW Status and will post it development Tl and Will keep it in Open Status and assign it to concerned developer. and he can change the status of bug as duplicate, As designed, not Reproducable, if it is a bug then developer will work on it and give it as Fix status. Then Tester will retest that bug and see that it is reproducable or not if it is not reproducable then he will close the bug, if its reproduce the same bug then keeps it in reopen status.

15. what is the Testing Process in your organization1. According to my company BA and PM will get the Requirements initially from the client these requirements can be named as BRS(business requirement specification) or BRD.

2. then PM and Qualty Analyser will prepare the software Requirement Specification(srs)ie., the flow of the functionality of the application, then SRS will be send to concerned TL (ie both development and testing)

3. Then Testing TL will Prepare TestPlan based on SRS

4. Then Test engineer will be part of testing of preparing the testcases based on usecases prepared by development Team

5. Then after Build Deployed TE has to Execute the Testcases.

6. Bugs Found should be raised.

16. Describe the difference betweeen Test scenario and Test CaseTest case is to validate the functionality of the scenario.Test scenario is to know the flow the functionality of that particular scenario.

17. What are the different types of defects/errors are commonly appear during the real time software testing?

Basically the defects are classified in to three types:

1.Missing Functionality(Requirement not implemented)2.Extra Functionality(Added some thing more than need )3.Wrongly implemented functionality(implemented requitement is not working)

Apart from this there is a very big list of defects are there:1. incorrect or missing functions, 2. interface errors,

3. errors in data structures or external database access,4. performance errors, and 5. initialization and termination errors6. GUI releated7.Failure of validation conditions.....etc

18. Explain Bug/Defect Life cycle?Bug found | |------>Test Engineer Finds Bug and Assigns that bug to | Developper | Open ---->During Developper fixing bug it's status will | be changes to open | |------>Developper fixes the bugResolved---->then developper changes its status to Resolved | | | Closed=------>Test engineer tests the system f it is fixed then he will change the bug status to closed

So Bug has mainly three statuses 1.Open 2.Resolves 3.Closed

19. Phases of Software Testing Life Cycle?.These are the phases of STLC

1.Requirements2.Use Case Document3.Test Plan4.Test Case5.Test Case execution6.Report Analysis7.Bug Analysis8.Bug Reporting

20. Use of Regression Testing?1.Determine Previously tested system functions properly without getting effected though changes are made in some other segment of application system. 2.Determine System requirements remain current 3.Determine System test data and test conditions remain current

21. Use of Requirements Traceability?1.Tracing requirements to test cases 2.Tracing test cases to requirements 3.Gives test coverage of Requirements4.Detailed report generation

22. The typical Application Test Lifecycle?1.Unit testing 2.Module testing 3.Component testing 4.Component integration testing 5.Subsystem testing 6.System testing 7.Functional testing 8.Technical integration testing 9.System integration testing 10.Non-functional testing 11.Integration testing 12.Regression testing 13.Model Office testing 14.User Acceptance testing

23. What are the Test Deliverables?Deliverables are

1.Test Plans 2.Test Script Planner 3.Test Scripts 4.Test Execution Results 5.Defect Reports

24. Why testing is required?A] Testing is required to check that the application satisfies the requirements.B] There is another corner for need of testing:

Testing will give confidence for the software development company that the software will work satisfactorily in client environmant.

Testing will improve the software quality.

Testing will also reduces the maintanance cost also.

Even the client of the software will get confidence on thesoftware.

C] testing is required for 1>to produce a quality product2>a man can't do perform two tasks efficiently at a timei.e for example a developer can't do two tasks, a)programming b)testing3>without spend more time and cost we produce quality product4>Due to psychological behaviour of a man is "a man can recognizing other faults easily"

25. What are the different techniques for writing test cases?The different testing techniques are:1.Boundary Value Analysis2.Equivalence Partitioning

3.Error Guessing

26. What is Client Server/Web Server Configuration(ISS)Client Server:Here the server will have the information data Business logic The Client will have only tools/interface to connect ,access the information and services of the server.Normally Client server will work in LAN network of the office. If we come for web server client is any one of the browserand server will be webserver like apache or IIS or some one else.

Web sverver architechture is an extended version of the client server architechture.

Bowser client can access information from any part of the world by using a broswer like internet explorer/mozilla fire fox/Netscape navigator.

27. what is the testing approach for windows Explorer(Not IE Explorer)28. How we do system testing project?

A] System Testing:- System testing is the testing of all the software and hardware requirements for the project.The software which we are going to develop or we have developed,require which type of configuration of PC(Hardware)to run or the configuration which we do have is compatible for the software we want to run on client PC or our development PC OR tester's PC.B] system testng is an end to end testing .the environment which is similar to production like environment

29. Wat kinds of documents requied during regression testion ? at time regression testing is done? can we do it repeatedly

defect tracker and FS.its depends the project

30. What is regression testing?Whenever enhancements added to the existing functionality then only we go for Regression testing why because new changes are whether effecting the old functionality or not

(OR)

it is a type of testing. In which already tested fuctionality is once again tested in two scenarios.

1. whenever the defects are identified by the testengineer rectified by the developer and released to the testing

department then the test engineer will once again test the defect functionality and the related functionality.

2. whenever the new changes are incorporated by the developer and released to the testing department the testengineer will once again test the related old functionality in order to ensure that they remain same..

31. What is UsecaseUseCase is a Set of Scenario's To prepare the Test cases.

32. An application is given to you but the requirements and functionalities are missing what will you do to start the testing?

Generaly this type of case u can go for adhoc testing or monkey testing.

jst go thru the whole application try to grap all the important funcationalities check all the results as per ur basic knwledge. here in this case company wants u test how far ur knwoledge in the domain? how how far ur mindset works.try to catch all main and important functions and write a test cases on it.

33. There are 2 clients for a server and that clients can access the data from the server only for 10 days. so how will you test this scenario manually? Can u pls help me?..

Tranfer the system date to 1. -1 of end date and 2, +1 of end date and retrive the datain first case it should accept in second case it shouldn't accept

34. what is error seedingA]The error seeding is nothing but the developer wontedly keepsome errors in the coding part to test the tester, whetherthe tester is doing the work properly can he find that bugor not.B] Error Seeding is the process of adding known faults wantedly in a program for monitoring the rate of detection & removal and also to estimate the total number of faults remaining in the program.

35. what is the difference between build and release?release : the modules that which we get for the first time for testing is release

Build : once we have tested and identified the bugs in that module we wil send back to the developoment side,they will correct and send us back for retesting,at that stage that module is called as build

36. Hi i am srinivas working as testing engineer with one of cmm level3 company. i am looking to change for that i posted my resume in naukri i got mails about requirement but when i replyed mails no one call for interview .I applied from past 4 month but i am not geting any interview call . please tell me where is the problem.?

Yes, need a updated resume and dont forget to put ur nature of work and keep trying definitely you will get.

Its not that problem with only in your resume, in naukri they might have updated their reqmnt but currently thwy might not have any vacancies in their organisation. but they will store ur resume in database, u will get a call soon, and time also need to come for everything.

otherwise please send ur resume to my mail id ravitvm2002@yahoo.co.uk i will attach ur resume, if ur lucky u will get a call

37. What are the qualities of the tester ?1.A tester should communicate Truth2.He should maintain documentation of all his work

38. Can anyone explain me about Traceability metrics?A] It is mapping between customer requirements and test cases.Tracebility Matrix ensures that test cases written to test a feature of application are able to trace the customer requirements. By using Tracebility Matrix we can come to the conclusion as when complete testing be stopped..B] Traceability Matrix This maps the requirement in to testcases.That means for each requirement in SRS document there must be atleast one testcase should be there.ofcourse there may be more than one test case per one requirement.and even one one requirement may cover in more than one test case.By using this we can review the testcase coverage.What are the requirements are not converted into testcases.what are requirements are tested in each phase of testing everything we can easily the review the coverage of requiremnts. Traceability matrix column names

1.Requirement ID(this will be SRS document)2.Unit Test Case Id3.Integration Test Case Id4.System Test Case Id5.Remarks

39. what is patch,abbrevate SCD,CAPA?patch is nothing but --developers send a build to the testing department after coding,the tester will reject the build,if there is any defects-after rectification developers will release the built is called as PATCH.

SCD: Source Code Document

CAPA: Corrective Actions Preventive Actions

40. 1. What is Validation and Verification? 2. What is Severity and Priority? Give an examples for: Severity High and Priority High Severity High and Priority low Severity low and Priority high Severity low and Priority low 3. What is Test Metrics? 4. What is Traceabily Matrix? 5. What is CAR in Cheque Remittance Project? 6.What are the tabs in the latest version of Test Director? 7.Explain Development "V" Model? 8.What will you do first when you are asked to start testing? 9.What will you do if you find a bug first time? Can i directly report to the developer? 10.Can you connect Load Runner to Test Director?

Verification is the process to assure that, the product in particular phase of development process is consistence with the requirements

validation is nothing but assuring that the final product statisfies the system reqirements

Severity is nothing but how serrious is the defect on the functionality

Priority is the importance of the defect to resolve interms of customers

severity high and priority high eg: cannot connect to server high severity no date formate high prioty

eg:incorrect output high severity look of web page not good low priority(i think u got an idea on severity and priority)

Test Metrics:Metrics is nothing but measurementthere are 3 types of measurement

QAM(Quality Assurence Measurement):This is used to test where quality is coming or not

TMM(Test Management Measurement):To find how much testing is completed and how is to test

PCM(Process Capability Measurement):Depending on old project any changes are required or not

Traceability matrix:defines the mapping between customer requirements to possible test cases developed to test that requirement

Sorry i have no idea on CAR

In TD we have Requirements tab Test Plan Tab Test Lab Tab DefectsV-Model Stands for Verification and validationthis defines mapping between multiple stages of development stages along with multiple stages of testing

41. What is the bug life cycle? In which part u involved?Status of the bug assigned based on the scenario is bug life cycle. The status comprises of New, Open or reject, Reopen, Fixed, Retest and Close. I involve in New, Reopen and Close.

42. 1. Regression& Retesting 2. What is usability testing? 3. Functionality testing 4. On what basis you will write the test cases 5. do you written the test scripts also 6. where do you store the test cases 7. where do you execute the test cases. 8. Do you prepare the requirements.

1.Regression: Testing the application/system after the bug fix to check whether the bug fix affecting the remaining functionality of the application.This test will be conducted on every build when previous bugs are resolved in that build.Retesting: Re-execution of alltest cases after receiving every build.This will provide confidence all the good working features of previous build are working fine.2.Usability Testing:Testing application how user friendly when user using it.3.Functionality testing:Testing each functionality of the application.4.basis to write the test cases: Generally we refer SRS(software requirement document) to write testcases. To under stand Flow of trasactions we will refer the flow diagrams. To write the GUI test cases we will refer the model screen shots(normally provided in Design document) For database test cases we will refer the database tables defnitions in SRS document.5.If the testing is done by Automation tool then we should write or record test scripts using automation tool.6.Configuration management tool like VSS or Just we will keep it as share document.7.Manually one by one by seeing the excel test case document or by using any automation tool.8.Normally testers won't involve in requirement preparation.

43. If the bug is reproducible then what is the status that u have given to the developer?

If the bug is reproducible, then it is in the Open statusand it is re-opened again for the developer to fix it

44. Tell me the V-model advantages & disadvantages?V-Model advantages: It is also called as verification and validation Model. This means the verification and validation will be done side by side. It emphasies the strict process flow to develop a quality product. The errors occured in any pahse will be corrected in that phase itself.V-Model disadvantages: It needs lot of resources and money. It needs an established process to implement. It can be implemented by only some big companies.

45. What are the mandatory fields when you rise a bug?A] The mandatory fields are 1)Title2)Assigned to field ( to the person incharge--developer)3)Severity and priority4)Steps to reproduce the bug

B] When u want to log a defect ,

1.Check whether someone in ur team has rised it earlier or not.2.Go to Defects tab in Quality Center and Click "New".(If ur using a quality center tool)3.Give Summary of the Defect4.Expected Result5.Actual Result6.Assigned to(dev)7.Environment8.Priority9.Severity10.Build Version11.steps to Reproduce,finally12.Screen shot attached

46. How will you test Email field?E-mail address validation

Address = "A@b.c"; -- ValidAddress = "A@b.cnet"; -- InvalidAddress = "A@b.c_"; -- InvalidAddress = "A@bcnn"; -- InvalidAddress = "Ab.cnn"; -- InvalidAddress = "A@bc"; -- Invalid

Address = "A@bat@.cnn"; -- InvalidAddress = "A@bat/.com"; -- Invalid

Must not be too short and too long.Only one @ in email addressOnly one period ’.’or two periods.No more than 3 characters after the final period (reverse find is 0 based not 1 based)com/ org/net/mil/govShould not have an underscrode after @ Allowed characters 0-9 A-Z _. @-

47. Can anybody give me an example for high severity and low priority?Logo is not displaying correctly.But displaying of logo won't affect the remaining functionality of the application.But it is requiremnt given by the client.

48. Types of testing?If we classify the testing types on Tester knowledgethen the testing types are only three:1.White Box testing2.Black box testing3.GrayBox Testing

White Box Testing:Means testing the application with coding /programming knowledge.That means the tester has to correct the code also.

Black box testing:testing the application without coding /programming knowledge that means the tester doesn't require coding knowledge.Just he examines the appliaction external fucntional beheaviour and GUI features.

Grey box testing is combination of box testing types

There are several testing types are there:I would like list some of the important tests:1.System Test2.Regression Test3.User acceptance test4.Unit test5.GUI test6.Fuactional test7.Database test8.Usability test9.Intagration test10.security test11.Load/stress/Performance test12.MultiBrowser Compatibilty test13.Alpha Test14.Beta test

The last Two test types i.e Alpha Test & Beta test are product based test types.

Depending on the type of application testing team chooses

some set of test to test the application.For example:If the application is related to E-commerce domainthenthe following test must conduct to ensure it's quality1.Fuctional testing2.Usability testing3.Load/performance testing4.Security testing5.Database testing.

49. Explain the Stress Testing?Stress testing is a form of testing that is used to determine the stability of a given software system in abnormal operational conditions.

Testing the application behavior beyond normal operational capacity.

For example if a web application can handle 100 users max any point of time.Remember that 100 users is the max handling capacity of the web application.

In stress testing testers will generate scenario to test the application.as follows:test-1:110 userstest-2:120 userstest-3:150 users....etc

Then they will observe the Load(user) vs the response(time) characteristics.this will give the clear picture of the application under stress conditions.

50. Explain Load testing?A] Load Testing means Testing to check the maximum Load on the application with out comparing with the responce time disproportionality.

B] Load testing is done for 3 reasons:

1.Software Reliablity: When the application is loaded with statisticall representative load, load testing is done to ensure whehter the application behaves as expected.

2. Performance Testing: When the application is loaded within a range of min to max load, load testing is to ensure whehter the application can sustain without running out of resources or having transaction suffer excessive delay.

3. Maximum sustainable load: To determine the maximum sustainable load the application can handle.

51. Explain the performance testing?Performance testing is testing how fast the system performs under a particular workload.This will be useful to evaluate the system characteristicslike: Scalability ReliabilityThis also can be used to compare one system with another.

52. Differences Between Whitebox testing and Blackbox testing?White Box Testing:Means testing the application with coding /programming knowledge.That means the tester has to correct the code also.

Black box testing:testing the application without coding /programming knowledge that means the tester doesn't require coding knowledge.Just he examines the appliaction external fucntional beheaviour and GUI features.

53. Explain the V-Model?

V-Model advantages: It is also called as verification and validation Model. This means the verification and validation will be done side by side. It emphasies the strict process flow to develop a quality product. The errors occured in any phase will be corrected in that phase itself.V-Model disadvantages: It needs lot of resources and money. It needs an established process to implement. It can be implemented by only some big companies.

54. Software life Cycle models?Software life Cycle models are :1. Waterfall model2. Spiral model3. Iterative development model4. Prototyping model5. V-model6. v-v model

55. what is advantages and disadvantages of the Waterfall Model and V-Model?WaterFall Model advantages: It is a linear sequestial model It is very simple model to implement It is the first model. It needs very few resources to implementDisadvantages: In this model there is no back tracking. For example if any error occured an any

stage of software development,it cann't be corrected in that build.

V-Model advantages: It is also called as verification and validation Model. This means the verification and validation will be done side by side. It emphasies the strict process flow to develop a quality product. The errors occured in any pahse will be corrected in that phase itself.V-Model disadvantages: It needs lot of resources and money. It needs an established process to implement. It can be implemented by only some big companies.

56. What is the difference between internal reviews and peer reviews?In my Knowledge Both are same because peer Review is nothing both Reviewing an Activity inside a Scope means, review done within your Team members.

Then what is Internal review .......? Same thats it.

57. If developer is not agree with your bug then what is your response?If the developer is not agree with the bug that posted by atester, we should convenience them to approve the bug byconducting the meeting or we have to take a screen shot ofthe bug occurred in the application and to be posted orshown to the development team.

58. What is the configuration tool is using in your organization?The configuration management tool used in our organizationis VSS(visual source safe)

59. What is the difference between alpha and beta testing?Alpha testing is an internal acceptance testing. This is simulated or actual operational testing by users/customers or dedicated test team at the developer's site.

Beta testing comes after alpha testing. Versions of developed sotware called beta versions are released to limited audience outside of the company. Sometimes these versions are released to the public to increase feedback fields for the future users.

60. How to identify the gaps in the system?One can identify the functional gaps in the system at the time of going through the functional documentation or when they conduct the testing,it all comes on experience.

61. What is Component Testing? How to do Component Level Testing?

Component Testing means testing the component of the system.A group of components is known as module.So a tester always starts his/her testing from the basic level i.e component of the application.Ex :- you have different functionalities (modules/submodules), those are either satisfying customer requirements or not. (BRS/SRS/FS)

62. what u will do when u have no sufficient time to test the application build release? plz describe it briefly and help me knowing the answer?

If there is no sufficient time then tester will conduct Adhoc testing.

In this type of testing no formal testing docments will be there.

Here the tester decides important testing areas and conductstesting on those areas only without any testcases.

Here in this tester common sense and past experience playsvery important role in adhoc testing.

63. what is the difference bug ,error,defect?Error : It is the Deviation from actual and the expected value.

Bug : It is found in the development environment before theproduct is shipped to the respective customer.

Defect : It is found in the product itself after it isshipped to the respective customer.

64. What type of testing process is going on your company ?The steps of test life cycle:-test initialisation->test planning->test design->test execution->test reporting->test closure.

65. Contents of test plan?Test plan consists ofintroduction objectivescopefeatures tested and not be testedacceptance criteriasuspension criteria testing approchtool to be usedrisks and contengenciesstaff and trainning needs

66. Difference between Equalance class partion and boundary value analysis?EQUIVALENCE CLASS PARTITION : THIS IS A TECHNIQUE USED IN

THE BLACK BOX TESTING METHOD, USED TO REFINE THE DATA INTO VALID AND INVALID CLASSES FOR EXAMPLE : A TEXT BOX ACCEPTS ONLY ALPHABETS THEN CHECK WITH VALID : ENTRING a-z,A-Z THEN WITH INVALID :!@&* AND SPACES,12 ETC

BOUNDARY VALUE ANALYSIS: THIS IS A TECHNIQUE USED IN THE BLACK BOX TESTING METHOD,USE TO CHECK THROUGH RANGE TO MINIMIZE THE TIME , RATHER THAN TESTING WITH WHOLE DATAFOR EXAMPLE :(1-1000)HERE NO NEED OF TESTING RIGHT FROM START IE FROM 1 TO 100 INSTEAD, CHECK WITH THE VALUES 0,1,2,99,100,101

67. 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....

68. Name some popular functional testing tool?1. Winrunner2. QTP3. Silktest4. Advenet QEngine5. AutoitV36. Rational robot.

69. Suppose u got defects.we r send to this through TD.Before that where we r stored?

I have a diff answer though.Well we first log the defectusing a tool which is called as Defect Tracking Tool.or wedo it manually using Excel sheets.Correct me if im wrong.

70. Please anybody explain the interaction of tester with developers and team lead regarding bugs or any issue, how they interact? How they discuss... Plz be clear in detail

After finding the bug,as a tester u should discuss with team lead and explain clearly why it is bug and send to developer.If developer is accept ur bug then no problom, if he is not accept the bug, then the problem will arise,at that time u explain about the bug, and show screen shots and explain the client requirements to developer.

this is the way to interact with lead and deveopler.

71. What is the difference between sanity testing and smoke testing?Smoke testing is test whether the build is installed properly or not and is ready for further major testing.

Sanity testing is carried after smoke testing to check whether the major functionality is working properly or not to proceed further testing.for ex: when a build is passed the smoke test, the sainty test is conducted on it by just navigating to the hyper links,or major functional whether the links are opening properly or not.Here there is will be using more critical

test cases for testing the Sanity testing.

72. Diffference between System Testing & Integration Testing?System testing is testing the whole application whether itis according to required configuration.Intergration Testing is testing the logical dependenciesbetween two or modules.i.e in an application there are morethan one module, the sequence in which they have to beintegrated.

73. Difference between Test Plan & Test Strategy?1. Test Plan The Test plan is the document where it containsthe elements like 1.Items to be tested 2.Items need not be tested3.test Schedule,test case design and execution4. Roles and responsibilities of the test team5.Defect Management

2. Test Strategy The approach of test execution is calledtest strategy

74. Define Stress, Load, Volume Testing?Load testing is the process of subjecting an application to a work level approaching the maximum limit. This is basically to test the reliability of the application. This is a part of more general process called 'Performance Testing'.

Eg: Assigning many jobs to a printer in a queque.

Load testing can be conducted in two ways:

1. Longevity Testing(Endurance Testing): This evaluates a system's capability to handle a constant moderate load for a long time.

2. Volume Testing: This evaluates a system's capability to handle huge load for a short time.

Stress Testing: Evaluates the extent to which a system keeps working when subjected to extreme work loads or when some of its hardware or software is comprimised. The primary goal is to determine the maximum amount of work a

system can handle without breaking.

75. Difference between Client server & Web based Testing?Client server application is 2 tier application and web application is n tier application

Client server is the single user application and the web application is the multi User

76. Difference between Verification & Validation?Verifiaction:Means are we doing right thing.i.e we have to check whether we are implementing right process.

validation:Means are we doing things right.i.e we have to check whether we have developed a software as per the client requirement.

77. If the Time is cut shorted, how can you manage that?we perform adhoc testing.testing the major functionalities,testing on the functionalities which are mainly visible to the user.

78. Difference Between Adhoc Testing & Exploratory Testing?Exploratory testing is testing of an unfamiliar applications. The test scripts would not be prepared before hand. Test case design and execution are done concurrently.

Adhoc testing is intended to look for defects randomly. This can be carried out by any one by Exploratory testing is a thoughtful approach and driven by logic. It is an intellectually challenging process where one is limited by one's own imagination and understanding of the software being tested. It provides enough scope to extend the reach of testing to certain areas that cannot be easily accommodated in test cases.

79. Test Case Design Techniques like BVA, Equalance partitioning, Error guessing?

Boundary Value Analysis(BVA): The concept behind this is to partition program domain in a meaningful way to generate data sets that span the partition are determined. This creates test cases around the boundaries of the valid data.The values that can be passed are exact boundary values, +/- lowest boundary value and +/- highest boundary value

Consider a text box which can take a maximum of 255 characters. Then the domain that can be considered is from 1 to 255. The values that can be passed into the text box for testing would be 1, 255, 0,2,254 and 256.

Equalence Partitioning: This is to partition set of all possible inputs into classes that receive equivalent treatment.

If consider the same example, the equivalence classes would be:

Class1: Values from 1 to 255, 1 and 255 inclusiveClass2: Values less than 1Class3: Values more than 255

Error Guessing: This technique is used to find defects using the experience of the tester. Consider the above example, the texbox is intended for characters only. The tester can easily give numbers or any special characters for that text box and see whether the application is throwing an exception or not.

80. About Testing Methodology?V-model is the mostly used testing methodology. The concept of V-model is to verify and validate at each phase of SDLC so that early identification of defects happen at each stage. May you can add some more points about V-model to this when answering.

81. Define the term Bug, Failure, Error?Bug is an error in developer point of view.Defect is an error in tester point of view.Failure is an error in customer point of view.

Developer - Tester - Client/end user | | | BUG DEFECT FAILURE

82. When and by How you will come to a conclusion “Prepared testcases covers the given requirements?

Traceability matrix can be used to track whether all the requirements are incorporated atleast in one test case.

83. I say “End user can also be involved during system testing?” Do you agree with me? if Yes or No….Why ?

End users cannot be involved during system testing as we would be checking whether the application is as per requirements or not but not for fit for use. They must be involved in User Acceptance Testing.

84. 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

85. what is Persistent Testing?Persistent Testing: May be you want to keep the database files around between tests

86. what is the diffrence between qualityassurance and system testing 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.

87. Contents of test report?a) Test case idb) Test case namec) Objectived) Prerequisitese) Steps to be executedf) Test datag) Expected resulth) Actual resulti) Statusj) Remarks

88. what is exact difference between UI Testing and usability testing?In general testing team's test execution process startswith usability testing.During this the testing team concentrate on userfriendliness of application build.This usability testing is classified into two sub tests.1.user interface (ui)testing2.manual support testing.ui testing is used to validate every screen in terms of ease of use(understandability of screen),look and feel(attractiveness o0f screen) and speed in interface(less no.of events to complete a task ie.,short navigation)

89. what are the release notes and what release note contains, when these prepared.?

Release Notes contains User ManualIt contains operational aspect of the productAfter The Product has been delivered

90. what is Latent Bug?latent bug is the bug that is occuring in every build of the application. sanity testing will be done to find the latent bug

91. What is Bottle Neck testing?If there is no suffecient time to do all planed testing activities. then we can do testing on major functionality of the product. this could be achieved by AD-HOC testingthis is said to be bottle neck testing

92. How u will do the load,stress and performance testing manually ?

Load: Load Testing the main scenario of the load testing how many user can access the application at the same time.

Stress: Stress testing the purpose used to system capacity handle large number of the transaction during the peak period.

Performance: Performance testing of an application for the fixed time and fixed number of the user.

93. 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?

Hai friends this is rajendra

Answer for this question is:

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

this question asked me at verizon intervew in second round.i have given a satisfactory answer to interviewer.

94. what is the Bugzilla Latest version?Here is the BUgzilla latest version which is released in April 22 2006

Bugzilla 2.22 (also 2.20.2 and 2.23.1

Including special characters also

Possible input conditions are :

1)Input password as = 6abcde (ie number first)2)Input password as = abcde8(ie character first)3)Input password as = 123456 (all numbers)4)Input password as = abcdef (all characters)5)Input password less than 6 digit6)Input passowrd greater than 6 digits7)Input password as special characters8)Input pasword in CAPITAL ie uppercase9)Input password including space

98. In real time where u can apply traceability matrix?a)Trace ability matrix is nothing but to cross verification all requirements and test cases.b)That is all the requirements covered by with the test casesc) Ok team lead or senior tester prepares it also.d) With the help of trace ability matrix covered all the customers requirements.e) It is must and should use the all-testing team.f) It is the measure the how many test cases are there that requirementsg) Easy to review purpose it is more useh) It is more value to testers

99. Describe Software Testing life cycle? What are the steps in volved in STLC (Software Testing Life Cycle)?

STLC descripbes the steps involved in the testing process. Following are steps involved:

1. Review of requirements.2. Review of Design.3. Black Box testing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. What is "Visible State Transition" test? Give example?Visible State Transition means first we check state of system and then test cases are written to test the triggers(events) that causes the system transition

2. 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 buttonshere 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=100This 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 fromstarting to ending.

then we check the starting conditions i.eone 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.

3. what are the kpas(key process areas) in u'r company?KPA's mean - KEY PROCESS AREAS

CMM-5 LEVEL companies have about 18 KPA's.

<Optimized> CMM-5 (3 (+2+6+7) KPA's)

6. what is uml?unified modeling language

7. What are the different test deliverables?Test case docsTest release docsTest planTest summary reportDefect reportTest review report

8. What is the difference between Product-based company and Projects-based company?

Product based company develops the applications for Global clients i.e there is no specific clients. Here requirements are gathered from maket and analyzed with experts.

Project based company develops the applications for the specific client. The requirements are gathered from the client and analyzed with the client

Instead of summarizing what my above friends have done i would give u some examples, perhaps that would help you understand the same.

Product Based Companies:Microsoft, Sun, Linux etc.

Project Based Companies:TCS, Wipro, Satyam, Polaris etc.

9. what do u like in QA?QA -Quality Assurance

It is highly oriented to defect/bug prevention process and Also it is an it refines,redefinesand improves the s/w developement process.It creates confidence in both client and the company.it providing very good oppurtunity to grow.

10. Is it mandatory to use USECASES or directly one can write test casesfrom requirments?

It depends on the company which we are working.In small companies they use the SRS document to write test cases.In some Companies they directly test the modules using Srs documents.Its all depends on the Standars of the company.

11. what is penetration testing?Penetration testing is nothing but security testing i.ehow well the application provides security against unautorized internal or external access

12. what are the major observations that you made when you are doing compatibility testing particularly in web applications?

1.what all browsers are compatible.2.what all versions are compatible.3.GUI plays vital important role.4.Performance also.

13. what is bugzilla?It is bug tracking tool.which is used to trackthe bug.

14. Diffrence between banking domain and medical domain?Domain means functional related knowledge,Banking Domain:it deals with cutomers i.e deposits borrowers..etc.bank fuctions are two types 1.manual banking process 2.online banking processEven in both of the above types computerisation is possible.Prime banking activities are : 1.Cash deposits(long term,mid term,short term, 2.Cash payments/receipts 3.Loans 4.Online banking 5.Personal loans 6.Home loans

7.Vehicle loans 8.Mutual funds 9.Monet transfer in Cheques/DD's..etc 10.ATM.. 11.Link between bank branches and central bank.etcBanking domain means you should have functional knoledge of all the above core banking activities.

If You come for Medical/Hospital/Health Care domainmainly it deals withhospital core activities like 1.Recption activities 2.Billing 3.Pharmacy 4.Labs 5.Doctors on duty 6.Patient records 7.Doctor appointmets 8.Operation timings 9.Ward information 10.Availability of beds 11.Nurse and doctor duty rosters 12.Medical insurance mgt 13.Link between hospital banches..etcare prime medical domain activities

15. Apart from bug reporting wat is ur involvement in project life cycle?As a Test engineer We design test cases,prepare testcasesExecute 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

16. what are the advantages and disadvantages of waterfall model?Advantages:Model is simple.Easy to understand.

Disadvantages:Time consuming as the testing process starts the last stagestill the build is given for testing the testers will be idle.hence man power is wasted

17. When we will do Retesting? Only after Bug fixation?Is there any other case?.

Retesting is done whenever the build is released to thetesting department. The test engineer will test thefunctionality again and again with multiple set of data.

18. What is the risk factor problem related to project?Three 'M' are very important in project management

Money -Budget planning & management Man -Technical skills,their performanceand & training Machine -Software and hardware resource procurement and management These three will directly affect the time management of project.

Inefficiency in planning of above will leads to risk of project.

risk factor =expected risk /actual risk

19. Do you know about descryptive programming?Descriptive Programming is a common script which is needed in different scripts . With out excecuting this script every time we use this Descriptive Program.

20. why we go for winrunner ? and when we go for winrunner?We Go For Win runner For "Regression Testing".

21. what are the different types of test case? and tell me the names.?A] There are 3 types of Test Cases :a) Business logic based Test casesb) I/P domain based test casesc) User interface based test cases

B]1)Positive2) Negative3) Neutral test cases

22. What is change management and change request?change management is nothing but managing changes in evolving software in cost effective manner.these changes should not effect the product or schedule.

change request is nothing but request from the client aboutthe changes in requirements. change control board should approve these changes

23. Can u tell me what is orthogonal array testing?The Orthogonal Array Testing Strategy (OATS) is a systematic, statistical way of testing pair-wiseinteractions. It provides representative (uniformly distributed) coverage of of all variable paircombinations. This makes the technique particularly useful for integration testing of softwarecomponents (especially in OO systems where multiple subclasses can be substituted as the server for aclient). It is also quite useful for testing combinations of configurable options (such as a web page thatlets the user choose the font style, background color, and page layout).

24. How do give priority?i mean to say on which basics? suggest me with proper answer plz.

Priority will be assined by developper and not by tester based on how Severely bug affecting the application performence. For example if the defect/bug is a show stopper i.e it causes to hang to system and not permitting to test futher then the developpper must resolve it very quickly.

Here the prority means how importance is given by the developpper to resolve/correct it.

priorities are

4.Immediate 3.Later 2.Whenever time permits 1.next version

Here NO 4 priority is top level one which indicates that,it should be resolves as early as possible.

In some companies priorities will be indicated with 0 to 4or 0 to 3 or 1-5 numbers.

25. What are the difference between client & server?CLIENT:it is nothing but only one user can access itSERVER: it is nothing but multiple clients can use this server

26. MicroSoft Six rules standard for Userinterface testing?1. Every System Menu should have Exit/close option.2. OK and Cancel Buttons should exist.3. All labels should start with capital alphabets.4. Alignment of all controls must be same.5. All controls must be visible.6. All labels must not overlap

The above six are called as MicroSoft six rules standard for userInterface testing.These are very important in GUI tetsing.

27. What is difference between Regression and Restesting?Retesting:Testing the same test case again and again after the bug fixed

Regression: For the number of test case in the module to be tested after executing the test cases for that module if any requirement changes we need to execute the entire test case for the particular module changed

28. What is the first test in software testing process a)Monkey testing b)Unit Testing c)Static analysis d)None of the above

Static analysis means, just go through the code without

creating any executable or binaries. Just c the code and finding defects is static analysis. Even it is with intention of finding the 'errors' in program or check for the defects, it is not the testing we conduct.My option goes for Unit Testing only, because this the first test we conduct for any product/project. All prior to dynamic testing are QA related activities.

29. what is agile testing?Agile Testing is the early stage testing in the customer's propective. Testing early and as the code became available, the product is stable enough for the unit or module testing.

30. what are the microsoft six rules for usability?Microsoft six rules Controls are init cap controls must be visible controls must be alligned ok cancel existence system menu existance controls should not overlap These are micro soft six rules regarding usability testing

31. what is inter operative testing?InterOperative and relational testings are same just vocabulary are different.

Testing the Application how it is working in co-ordination with other application>Eg: if u have a hyperlink in a MSWord page if u clik on that link along with control key the hyperlinked page will opens on browser automatically.same thing will be done in the case of MS excel also.

and alsoonOther example is if one application is working on three servers in a co-ordinated way.

32. In an application currently in production, one module of code is being modified. Is it necessary to re- test the whole application or is it enough to just test functionality associated with that module?

Yes it is necessary to test the whole application why because to check whether this modified module affect the remaining modules or not.

33. How many members are involved in test plan? and tell me names?a) In the test plan involved mainly team lead, project manager, Quality control peoples, must senior tester and development side team lead, project manager, Quality

annalist people they are involved maximumb) They are all main roll of the test planc) That is main very important both sides

34. How do you test if an XML file is correct or not?Save the xml file with .xml extension and then open the xmlin internet explorer. If it's a valid xml file it will showthe structure otherwise will show the error.

35. What is bud testing?Due to lack of time the developers and testers are grouping as buddies. Every buddy consists of developer and tester to continue process parallally.

36. what is the severity we give. login fails eventhough we enter the correct username and pwd.

severity is high, solution is i will forward it to development team , and i will askem to fix it

37. On which module did u involve in your project..?U should say about the module which u involved in ur project.

38. Actually by using severity u should know which one u need to solve so what is the need of priority?

Severity is nothing impsct of that bug on the application.Priority is nothing but importance to resolve the bugyeahof course by looking severity we can judgebut sometimes high severity bug doesnot have high priorityAt the same time High pririty bug dont have high severitySo we need both severity and priority

39. What type of risk analysis u did in a banking projects...? Give an example...?

a) In banking project have the so many risk I faced b) For ex one customers have in a/c 50000/- that person withdraw the amount 20000/- but my ATM machine show only remaining 40000/-c) This is the in bank point of view very big mistaked) Some times only show very less amounte) It is customer point of very big mistakef) This all the traction some time I will faced

40. u posted a bug with screenshots and steps to reproduce but still the developer is not accepting this is a bug. in dev system it is not reporducing . how u'll convince he developer? (if the developer is in india or onsite(give the answer for both the cases)

Fine if the developer is also at same place call him up and

show him at u'r system under what inputs the system is throwing error.

Onsite show him thru net meeting.

Insist the dev to install the same build from which u got the error.If still it is not reproducible,keep the bug on hold for some more testing to go on and see for later builds. if u are once again facing the same problem,then reopen the bug.

41. What is your favourite Bug?1. My favourite bug i am working VB/SQL Server Product. i have create a new folder (ex:Tester) in folder panel.

After select the folder (ex:Tester)-Click "Copy"Paste button is enabled condition. before i have deleted the folder (ex:Tester).At the time paste button is enabled condition then i clicked the paste button?..........

Folder Name displayed or not?

Pls check this windows explorer

2. when u create a folder on desktop with the name "con"(without double quotes)it won't create that folder.

42. what is status of defect when you are performing regression testing.Different Status of the bugs are 1.New 2.Closed 3.Fixed 4.Rejected 5.Open 6.Reopen

During the Regression testing there may be different status of the Bug Like

1.Closed 2.Open 3.Reopen

Developer will assign 1.Fixed 2.Rejected

43. when u r going to faced difficulty in ur organization?Facing difficulty in an organization starts even before u joined and even after u left the said organization but in an interview we cannot say such answers. We have to give a political answers like; I don't think I will have any problem working with this organization as I am very

professional .Even if there is any problem happens (which usually does) then and I will try to sort out the problem by bring a common understanding.

Everyone knows that everybody face problems but the main intension of this question is how u can resolve any possible problem he or she face during his or her employment.

44. Suppose if you have given Login screen to Test. What type of tests r u going to do on that.How many test cases can u write.?

generally login screen will have the titel bar,user id,text box,password .,ok button, cancel button,help button

THE CONDITIONS R IT SHOULD START WEITH ALPHANUMERIC IN LOWERCASE FROM 4 TO 16 CHRACTERS LONG,PASSWORD ALLOWS ALPHABETS IN LOWER CASEOR NUMBERS.

45. What is software development Life Cycle (SDLC)? where exactly the Testing activity begin in SDLC?

It is the steps followed to develop the application or software.Steps are 1. Requirement Analysis 2. Design 3. coding 4.Testing 5.Implementation 6.MaintananceTesting activity starts from the initial stade ie. From requirement analysis

46. what is two tier application? and what is three tier application?and what is the basic difference? explain with a example?

Two tier application will have 2 layers

Presentation Layer:i.e. Front endBussiness and Database Layer

Three Tier application has 3 layersPresentation Layer:i.e. Front endBussiness Layer:Which contains all business logicDatabase Layer:Where all data is stored.

Example:If any condition is given for a search to display the data.

In 3tier application that condition will be recevied by Bussiness layer:search is carried as per requirement and message will be sent to databse to display the details.

48. What type of testing process do you follow in current organisation?Water Fall model/ Linear sequence

1.Requirement Analysis.2.Design3.Coding/Development4.Testing5.Implementation.6.Maintenance.

49. Tell me the test cases for a search and replace functionality in a microsoft document (.doc)?

Use Ctl+H for that.It will give the feature of find n replace.

50. How many types of testcases can be prepare.?There can be so many types of test cases prepared according to the application you are dealing with.For e.g in a banking domain, you can concentrate on1. Links present in the page2. Content and position of all the controls present in that page3. Validating the text fields in that page4. Verifying the data storage after submitting5. The path of traverse of the functionality

You can have as many as you can, if time permits

51. How can we do security testing while testing a project?Security means the application has provide the security or not for the customerside data.for ex:-login screen1)authentication2)access control3)encription4)copy and paste the pwd not valid5)copy and cut the pwd not valid

52. What is scalability testing?Scalability Testing: Easy to increase the performance of the software if the application demands it. For example, a database application that gives good response time for 10 users should be scalable for 100 users if required.

53. What are triggers and procedures?Triggers means it is a procedure which fires autometically depends on front end operations.

Procedures is a set of operations which gets executed on a call from front end operation. Is used to improve performance

54. This is question is for system testing: What are Global catalog server, Schema Master and other NDTS roles ?

global catalog servers authenticate user logon

55. Suppose,u have written 10 test cases for an application,but ur developer is not satisfied wht u wrote,then how will u justify him that ur test cases are correct?

I will ask him to refer the content of the Requirement given by the business analyst. If still not convinced then I will ask the developer to convince the Business analyst to Modify the content of the Requirement If Requirement is modified by Business analyst then We wil close the BUG.

56. What is data stratification?A technique used to analyze/divide a universe of data into homogeneous groups (strata) often data collected about a problem or event represents multiple sources that need to treated separately.

It involves looking at process data, splitting it into distinct layers (almost like rock is stratified) and doing analysis to possibly see a different process.

For instance, you may process loans at your company. Once you stratify by loan size (e.g. less than 10 million, greater than 10 million), you may see that the central tendency metrics are completely different which would indicate that you have two entirely different processes...maybe only one of the processes is broken.

Stratification is related to, but different from, Segmentation.

A stratifying factor, also referred to as stratification or a stratifier, is a factor that can be used to separate data into subgroups. This is done to investigate whether that factor is a significant special cause factor.

57. wht is smoke testing and user interface testing?Smoke tesing is nothing but to check whether basic functionality of the build is stable or not?i.e if it possess 70% of the functionality we say build is stable.User interface testing: We check all the fields whether they are existing or not as per the formatwe check speellinggraphicfont sizeseverything in the window present or not|

58. What is a show stopper?Show stopper is a bug which does not let you to carry outthe testing process any further.

59. How do u find Synchronization problems manually?synchronization means to wait till the applied operation completes, after that continue the next operation. If we conduct testing manually then only we uses this. If we conduct manual testing, we should wait till the applied operation completes.

We are not faces these problems manually, i think.

60. Can you tell me some thing about source code testing tools?here source code like that ex: http://www.allinterview.com/forms/answerform.php?qnum=23364here we can check the source code whether we click on thatit is open or not

61. Tell me some of the Possible test cases on ATM Machine?TC 1:- successful card insertion.TC 2:- unsuccessful operation due to wrong angle card insertion.TC 3:- unsuccessful operation due to invalid account card.TC 4:- successful entry of pin number.TC 5:- unsuccessful operation due to wrong pin numberentered 3 times.TC 6:- successful selection of language. TC 7:- successful selection of account type.TC 9:- successful selection of withdrawal option.TC 10 :- successful selection of amount.TC 11:- unsuccessful operation due to wrong denominations.TC 12:- successful withdrawal operation.Tc 13 :- unsuccessful withdrawal operation due to amountgreater than possible balance.TC 14 :- unsuccessful due to lack of amount in ATM.TC 15 :- unsuccessful due to amount greater than the day limit.TC 16 :- unsuccessful due to server down.TC 17 :- unsuccessful due to click cancel after insert card.TC 18:- unsuccessful due to click cancel after insert cardand pin no.TC 19:- unsuccessful due to click cancel after languageselection,account type selection,withdrawal selection, enteramount

62. how to execute manual test cases?In manual test cases u check for the expected values(which is all ready specfied)so taking the base document that is SRS u check the Expected value and actual Value.

example:u have a url link in a web page say (www.mail.yahoo.com) when u click this link(expected is display login page) so when u click a link it should direct u to the exact path if that is done is say that the test case is passed.else u say it as failed

63. What is there in the final Test Summary Report?final test summary report contains all the information about >> testing activities that are performed>> how are they achieved>> strategy followed>> test plans>> test cases,scripts>> results>> defects closed, passed, deferred, rejected, invalid Defects-infact everything.

64. Explain VSS?vss-->visual source safeits a configuration management tool.its a client server application,generally server is installed to that company server and is accessible only by the administrator and the client is installed in all the

user systems.all the dev in testing team members are given the access permissions. all the configurable items in a specific project are been stored in this when we need a doc of any sort regarding the project we login checkout the doc.Testers are basically allowed only to checkout the docs.only team lead can checkin after receivin any updated doc.dev can checkin as well as checkout .

65. U decide which test cases has to be excuted first. Is there any technique ?While test cases preparation time only we'll decide the priority based on the functionality. so that if there is no time to exeute all the test cases, that time we can execute high level priority test cases first, and then medium priority test cases and then if time permits we'll execute low level priority test cases.

66. What is meant by Entry and Exit points in Testing?Entry Points:- Test environment is ready- Test cases are prepared- Dev team has given the build

Exit points:- All modules are covered- All test cases are executed- Bugs are reported and resolved

67. The Managment is saying Stop Testing immediately some reasons.... What will you do at that time....

Remind one thing managment is supreme of companyYou have to obey their words.If they said ilke that you have to stop testing and consult your teamlead for further action

68. Difference between the HotFix,ShowStopper and critical bug?HotFix: A hotfix is code (called a patch) that fixes a bug in a product.

ShowStopper : " means it stops the show ", a showstopper is a computer bug which prevents a project from going forward, as opposed to a minor bug which can be documented and coped with.

critical:it is the severity of the bug which doesnt stop the show but affects the business functionality...

69. Branch testing comes under white box testing or black box testing?Branch testing is done while doing white box testing. where in focus is given on code.There are many other white box technique.Like Loop testing

70. what is non functional requirements used in ur project?

Non functional requirements are color,text box alinement,etc.. Non functional requirement includes 'HELP MENU'.
