Answer / harry

You need to educate yourself Ranjith, answer using right
terminologies of software testing so that you leave no room
for further question:

Lead or Feature set lead or Module lead or Project lead
will provide the Build release team (BRT) with the files
to be used for making a build. The BRT makes the build and
gives it back to Development team, the builds goes through
several rounds of alpha testing (which includes unit
testing) based on the Test cases (they are influenced by
the TC's of Quality Testing team). Once the build passes
the alpha testing (n rounds) then the build files are
provided back to BRT with fixes and then the BRT creates a
new Beta build to be forwarded to the Testing team along
with the release build notes (which carries information on
the bug fixes/patches/quick fixes/product components
version numbers etc). Testing team performs the
Smoke/Sanity test on the Beta build and verifies whether
the major functionalities are working or not so that they
can send the build approval mail saying that "the build is
accepted/rejected due to X bugs (with priorit/severity)".
If the build is approved for further testing then the bugs
mentioned in the release build notes are validated and
finally after the testing completion (this includes test
strategy as per test plan, for e.g, Functional, regression,
adhoc testing etc..) the testing completion report of the
Beta build is sent.

Answer / ranjith kumar

After the coding is completed the development team conducts
the n-unit testing by executing the N-unit test cases.If
all the test cases were passed they will give build to the
testing team through mail.

As soon as testing team gets the build tester conducts the
SMOKE TESTING.i.e conducting the testing whether the build
is ready for the further levels of testing.If the smoke
testing passes testing team will conduct the functionality
testing of performance testing based on the test plan.

If the Smoke testing fails testing team rejects the build
by mentioning that smoke testing was failed.
