Software Testing Interview Question 11

Q Can you provide me the correct answer for Test Bug?

The idea of testing is to expose defects/Bugs. A defect/BUG is a difference from a desired product characteristic. Two categories of defects/Bugs are- Variance from product specifications- Variance from customer/user anticipation.

Q What is the ONE major factor of 'test case'?

Test case hold the elements like; test case no, test case explanation, expected result, actual result, Status, remark. According to me, the one key element is actual result.

Q Cost of cracking a bug from requirements phase to testing phase - boosts slowly, decreases, increases steeply or remains constant?

Cost of solving a bug from requirements phase to testing phase - increases slowly

Q What is Bug Tracking Process, Reporting, Re-testing and Debugging?

First step : Bug finding

Second Step : Bug Reporting

Third Step : Bug De-bugging(fixing)

Fourth Step : Re verification of the reported bug (Regression)

This is the process of Bug cycle

Q What are the management tools we have in testing?

We have management tools like Test Director, Team rack, Rational Clear Quest, Bug Zilla etc.,

Q What are the test cases prepared by the testing team ?

1. Functional Unit Teset cases (FUT), 2. Integration Test cases (IT), 3. System Test cases (ST), 4. User Inerface Test cases, 5. Validations

Q Can we write Functional test case based on only BRD or only Use case?

We can write down the test cases using the BRD, but we may not obtain the full flow information and exact functionality of the business from BRD. According to me, we can start writing the functional test cases using the BRD, but we cannot baseline the test cases on the basis of BRD.

Q In an application if i press the delete button it should give an error message "Are u sure u want to delete" but the application gives the message as "Are u sure". is it a bug? And if it is how you would rate its severity.

Severity should be minor

Q Best to solve defects - requirements, plan, design, code / testing phase?

Best to solve Defect is Requirement Phase

Q During the start of the project how will the company come to an conclusion that tool is required for testing or not?

There are lots of things which will decide the Automation tool at the time of Project Initialization...1.Requirements2.Project Budget3.Project size4.Head counts5.Time

Q Tell difference between GUI Testing and Black box Testing?

GUI testing fall under black box testing, where we are going to make sure whether the alignments of the objects are placed correctly or not.. like look and feel we can also state that this is cosmetic testing

Black box testing is testing the overall functionality of a system without any collision on the internal code of an application. here you are going to carry out the usability, GUI, functionality, validation, security, system, performance and user acceptance testing.

Software Testing Interview Question 10

Q. Explain bug life cycle?
A: —

New: When tester reports a defect
Open: When developer admit that it is a bug or if the developer neglect the defect, then the status is updated into “Rejected”
Fixed: When developer make modifications to the code to correct the bug…
Closed/Reopen: When tester tests it again. If the probable result shown up, it is turned into “Closed” and if the problem still exists, it’s “Reopen”

Q. What is deferred status in defect life cycle?
A: — Deferred status means the developer accepted the bug, but it is planned to correct in the next build

Q. What is smoke test?
A; — Testing the application whether it’s performing its fundamental functionality correctly or not, so that the test team can go forward with the application.

Q. Do you use any automation tool for smoke testing?
A: - Absolutely can use.

Q. What is Verification and validation?
A: — Verification is static. No code is executed. Say, analysis of requirements etc. Validation is dynamic. Code is executed with scenarios present in test cases.

Q. Explain test plan and its contents?
A: — Test plan is a document which contains the scope for testing the application and what to be tested, when to be tested and who to test.

Q. Advantages of automation over manual testing?
A: — Time, resource and Money

Q. What is ADhoc testing?
A: — Doing something which is not planned.

Q. What is mean by release notes?
A: — It’s a document released beside the product which give details about the product. It also contains about the bugs that are in deferred status.

Q. Scalability testing comes under in which tool?
A: — Scalability testing comes under performance testing. Load testing, scalability testing both are same.

Q. What is the difference between Bug and Defect?
A: — Bug: Difference from the expected result.

Defect: Problem in algorithm leads to failure.

A Mistake in code is called Error.

Due to Error in coding, test engineers are getting mismatches in application is called defect.

If defect accepted by development team to solve is called Bug.

Q. What is hot fix?
A: — A hot fix is a solitary, collective package that contains one or more files that are used to tackle a problem in a software product. Usually, hot fixes are made to address a exact customer circumstances and may not be spread outside the customer organization.

Bug found at the customer place which has high priority.

Q. What is the difference between functional test cases and compatibility test cases?
A: —In Compatibility we have no Test Cases. Like we are Testing an application in different Hardware and software.

Q. What is Acid Testing??
A: — ACID Means:
ACID testing is related to testing a transaction.
A-Atomicity
C-Consistent
I-Isolation
D-Durable

Mostly this will be done database testing.

Q. What is the main use of set up a traceability matrix?
A: — To Cross confirm the ready test cases and test scripts with user requirements.

To observe the changes, enhance occurred during the development of the project.

Traceability matrix is arranged in order to cross check the test cases planned against each requirement, hence giving an prospect to confirm that all the necessities are covered in testing the application.
