Explain the Spiral Model.

The spiral model follows creation of a series of prototypes for refining the understanding of the requirements. The kind of approach is best suited to projects that are not at all clearly defined and a clear solution is yet to be arrived at.................. Read answer
Explain the Evolutionary Model.

All the models suffer from the disadvantage that the duration of time from start of the project to the delivery time of a solution is very high.................... Read answer
Explain the V-Model.

It describes how the test approach is developed so that it can be executed in parallel with the designing and development/build phases.................... Read answer
What is Equivalence Partitioning?

The input data is divided into partitions and values are chosen from each partition from which the test cases are derived to perform the test.................. Read answer

Explain the concept of Decision Tables

It is a way to depict a complex logical situation. It helps in figuring out what is to be done under what circumstances................... Read answer
Explain how to define Severity Rating in your project.

Not all requirements are equally important. Some are more relevant to the main purpose of the system. Severity refers to the impact a defect may have on the system....................

Write your comment - Share Knowledge and Experience Discussion Board What is keyword view and Expert view in QTP? QuickTests Keyword Driven approach, test automation experts have full access to the underlying test and object properties, via an integrated scripting and debugging environment that is round-trip synchronized with the Keyword View. Advanced testers can view and edit their tests in the Expert View, which reveals the underlying industry-standard VBScript that QuickTest Professional automatically generates. Any changes made in the Expert View are automatically synchronized with the Keyword View.

shipra 12-5-2011 04:27 AM testing plz send me testing metrial ,questions n ans.some problems preethi 12-1-2011 08:54 AM Testing interview question : Explain the check points in QTP. Explain the check points in QTP. Checkpoints in QTP allow the tester to verify if the functionalities deliver results as expected. Checkpoints can be inserted into a test or a test component and acts a verification point that compares the specified value of a property with its most recent value. Database checkpoints,
