What is defect pooling?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Another simple defect prediction technique is to separate
defect reports into two pools. Call them Pool A and Pool B.
You then track the defects in these two pools separately.
The distinction between the two pools is arbitrary. You
could put all the defects discovered on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and weekends into Pool A, and the rest of the
defects into Pool B. Or you could split your test team down
the middle and put half of their reported defects into one
pool, half into the other. It doesn’t really matter how you
make the division as long as both reporting pools operate
independently and both test the full scope of the product.
Once you create a distinction between the two pools, you
track the number of defects reported in Pool A, the number
in Pool B, and—here’s the important part—the number of
defects that are reported in both Pool A and Pool B. The
number of unique defects reported at any given time is:
DefectsUnique = DefectsA + DefectsB - DefectsA&B
The number of total defects can then be approximated by the
simple formula:
DefectsTotal = ( DefectsA * DefectsB ) / DefectsA&B
If the GigaTron 3.0 project has 400 defects in Pool A, 350
defects in Pool B, and 150 of the defects in both pools,
the number of unique defects detected would be 400 + 350 -
150 = 600. The approximate number of total defects would be
400 * 350 / 150 = 933. This technique suggests that there
are approximately 333 defects yet to be detected (about a
third of the estimated total defects); quality assurance on
this project still has a long way to go.

defect seeding means intentionally introducing defects in
to the application and check the ratev of its detection and
its residual effects

I saw the term 'Idiot Proofing' under White box test techniques. Really what does it mean?
My questions are- 1. If we have 1 week time in hand what will be the approch of testing. 2. If we have very lesstime in hand then how we will do the regration testing. 2. When there is a change in requirement in module A then what should be the approch to change in that module and in other module like B,C etc an whow we update the test case pls explain the scenario in detail. 3.How do you confirm that for perticular funtionality all the test cases has been written. Thanks
Mapping the test cases with the requirement. What is this process called?

Hi, I am Nithi. I have completed my MCA in 2005i am heving 2.2 yrs of experience in testing because of my daughter i got break during mar 2006 to dec 2007.now i joined in a small s/w company as tester.and i am looking for MNc job.what are all the things i want to prepare thanks in advance pls help me
