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 cases

use cases contains field validation of fields
Positive and negative scenarios for each each functionality
Difference 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 Testing

A] 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 severity

Priority: 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 organization

1. 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 Case
Test 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 errors
6. GUI releated
7.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 bug
Resolved---->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.Requirements
2.Use Case Document
3.Test Plan
4.Test Case
5.Test Case execution
6.Report Analysis
7.Bug Analysis
8.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 Requirements
4.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 the

software.

C] testing is required for

1>to produce a quality product
2>a man can't do perform two tasks efficiently at a time
i.e for example a developer can't do two tasks,
a)programming
b)testing
3>without spend more time and cost we produce quality product
4>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 Analysis
2.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 browser

and 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 Usecase

UseCase 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 data
in first case it should accept
in second case it shouldn't accept

34. what is error seeding

A]The error seeding is nothing but the developer wontedly keep
some errors in the coding part to test the tester, whether
the tester is doing the work properly can he find that bug
or 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 Truth
2.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 Id
3.Integration Test Case Id
4.System Test Case Id
5.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 measurement
there 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
Defects
V-Model Stands for Verification and validation
this 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 status
and 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)Title
2)Assigned to field ( to the person incharge--developer)
3)Severity and priority
4)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 Defect
4.Expected Result
5.Actual Result
6.Assigned to(dev)
7.Environment
8.Priority
9.Severity
10.Build Version
11.steps to Reproduce,finally
12.Screen shot attached

46. How will you test Email field?

E-mail address validation

Address = "A@b.c"; -- Valid

Address = "A@b.cnet"; -- Invalid
Address = "A@b.c_"; -- Invalid
Address = "A@bcnn"; -- Invalid
Address = "Ab.cnn"; -- Invalid
Address = "A@bc"; -- Invalid
Address = "A@bat@.cnn"; -- Invalid
Address = "A@bat/.com"; -- Invalid

Must not be too short and too long.

Only one @ in email address
Only 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/gov
Should 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 knowledge
then the testing types are only three:
1.White Box testing
2.Black box testing
3.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 Test
2.Regression Test
3.User acceptance test
4.Unit test
5.GUI test
6.Fuactional test
7.Database test
8.Usability test
9.Intagration test
10.security test
11.Load/stress/Performance test
12.MultiBrowser Compatibilty test
13.Alpha Test
14.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 domain
then
the following test must conduct to ensure it's quality
1.Fuctional testing
2.Usability testing
3.Load/performance testing
4.Security testing
5.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 users
test-2:120 users
test-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 characteristics
like: Scalability
Reliability
This 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 model
2. Spiral model
3. Iterative development model
4. Prototyping model
5. V-model
6. 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 implement
Disadvantages:
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 a
tester, we should convenience them to approve the bug by
conducting the meeting or we have to take a screen shot of
the bug occurred in the application and to be posted or
shown to the development team.

58. What is the configuration tool is using in your organization?

The configuration management tool used in our organization
is 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/sub
modules), 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 conducts

testing on those areas only without any testcases.

Here in this tester common sense and past experience plays

very 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 the

product is shipped to the respective customer.

Defect : It is found in the product itself after it is

shipped 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 of
introduction
objective
scope
features tested and not be tested
acceptance criteria
suspension criteria
testing approch
tool to be used
risks and contengencies
staff 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 DATA
FOR 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. Winrunner
2. QTP
3. Silktest
4. Advenet QEngine
5. AutoitV3
6. 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 defect
using a tool which is called as Defect Tracking Tool.or we
do 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 it
is according to required configuration.
Intergration Testing is testing the logical dependencies
between two or modules.i.e in an application there are more
than one module, the sequence in which they have to be
integrated.

73. Difference between Test Plan & Test Strategy?

1. Test Plan
The Test plan is the document where it contains
the elements like
1.Items to be tested
2.Items need not be tested
3.test Schedule,test case design and execution
4. Roles and responsibilities of the test team
5.Defect Management

2. Test Strategy
The approach of test execution is called
test 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 inclusive

Class2: Values less than 1
Class3: 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 id
b) Test case name
c) Objective
d) Prerequisites
e) Steps to be executed
f) Test data
g) Expected result
h) Actual result
i) Status
j) Remarks

88. what is exact difference between UI Testing and usability testing?

In general testing team's test execution process starts
with 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)testing
2.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 Manual
It contains operational aspect of the product
After 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 testing
this 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

95. What is Deffered? explain it who allocate it?

Deffered means post poned for future versions,
Program manager is given by deffered status

conditions?
Including special characters also

Possible input conditions are :

1)Input password as = 6abcde (ie number first)

2)Input password as = abcde8(ie character first)

8)Input pasword in CAPITAL ie uppercase
9)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 cases
c) 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 requirements
g) Easy to review purpose it is more use
h) 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 total

ie 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 button
for plus u should press '+' labled button
for one u should press 'one' labled button
for equalto u should press 'equalto' labled button
0+1=
here + and = positions will not vary
so first number position can be varied from 0 to 9 i.e
from permutation and combinations u can fill that space in
10 ways
in the same way
second 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.

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)

<Managed> CMM-4 (2 (+6+7) KPA's)

<Defined> CMM-3 (7 (+6) KPA's)

<Repeatable> CMM-2 (6 KPA's)

4. What are the technics used for writing a test cases?

There are 3 technics for to write test cases
1)Error Guessing
2)Equivalence Partitioning
3)Boundary Value Analysis

5. Why most of the people saying testing is easy job? an you justify?
It is not matter of cooking. after cooking tasting the
taste.

6. what is uml?
unified modeling language

7. What are the different test deliverables?

Test case docs
Test release docs
Test plan
Test summary report
Defect report
Test 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.e
how 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 process
Even 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.etc
Banking domain means you should have functional knoledge of
all the above core banking activities.

If You come for Medical/Hospital/Health Care domain

mainly 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..etc
are 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 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

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
stages
till 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 the
testing department. The test engineer will test the
functionality 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 cases
b) I/P domain based test cases
c) User interface based test cases

B]1)Positive
2) Negative
3) 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 about

the 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-wise
interactions. It provides representative (uniformly
distributed) coverage of of all variable pair
combinations. This makes the technique particularly useful
for integration testing of software
components (especially in OO systems where multiple
subclasses can be substituted as the server for a
client). It is also quite useful for testing combinations
of configurable options (such as a web page that
lets 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 4

or 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 it
SERVER: 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 also
onOther 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 maximum
b) They are all main roll of the test plan
c) 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 xml
in internet explorer. If it's a valid xml file it will show
the 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 bug
yeah
of course by looking severity we can judge
but sometimes high severity bug doesnot have high priority
At the same time High pririty bug dont have high severity
So 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 mistake
d) Some times only show very less amount
e) It is customer point of very big mistake
f) 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

 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.Maintanance
Testing 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 end

Bussiness and Database Layer

Three Tier application has 3 layers

Presentation Layer:i.e. Front end
Bussiness Layer:Which contains all business logic
Database 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.

47. What are the four steps of automated testing?

1.Plan the test
2.Create the Test scripts
3.Run the Test Scripts
4.Report the Results

48. What type of testing process do you follow in current organisation?

Water Fall model/ Linear sequence

1.Requirement Analysis.
2.Design
3.Coding/Development
4.Testing
5.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 on
1. Links present in the page
2. Content and position of all the controls present in that
page
3. Validating the text fields in that page
4. Verifying the data storage after submitting
5. 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 screen
1)authentication
2)access control
3)encription
4)copy and paste the pwd not valid
5)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 format
we check speelling
graphic
font sizes
everything in the window present or not|

58. What is a show stopper?

Show stopper is a bug which does not let you to carry out
the 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=23364
here we can check the source code whether we click on that
it 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 number
entered 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 amount
greater 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 card
and pin no.
TC 19:- unsuccessful due to click cancel after language
selection,account type selection,withdrawal selection, enter
amount

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 safe
its 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 company
You 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'.
