Answer / veda

thank you all for your answers it will help me a lot.so
regarding when we add new feature to the application some
one told me that we need to update the requirement document
and need to send it to client and after that we need to
write testcases for that new feature an after that weneed to
exicute all that test cases and next we need to exicute
entire old test cases .please tell me is this correct or not
if is wrong can any one give me correct answer.
thanks veda.

Answer / uttam

I think you are confussed.The answer to your query is if
the new feature is added. We first needed to update the
requirement in the testplan for which a new testcase has to
be added in the testplan and script needed to execute
them.This is apart from the test script one has executed
already before the new attachment/feature. Depending on the
meeting with the PM/group they may take out the old
testcase and update the new testcase but a formal document
is already written in the matrix. I hope this will give you
a better picture to understand the QA activities.

Hi

1. Smoke Test is to check the Validation of the given
criteria in the document.

2. Test Cases & Test Plan are Stored in VSS or in TD

3. No When Bug is Fixed We Go for Retest of that
Failed Scenario.

4. When ever a New Feature is added we go for
Regression Test.

5. We can Use Toad for Database Queroes.

1.When ever we get a build do we need to do smoke test is
it compulsory,and how much do they spend for test.?

ANS: yes it is compulsory we must conduct smoke test after
receiving every build.
Maximum: 2Hours

2.Generally all the testcases are stored in which place in
real time.is there tool used to store that testcases and
test plan,suppose we are using test director can we store
all our test cases in it, and where does entire application
test cases and test plan is stored assuming that company is
using test director.

ANS: All the testcases are stored in configuration
management system (eg:VSS)

Test Director is a test management tool
using this we can(manage requirements)

Define Requirements
View Requirements
Modify Requirements
Convert Requirements
Also we can Plan Tests

Develop a Test Plan Tree
Design Test Steps
Copy Test Steps
Call Tests with Parameters
Create Requirements Coverage
Generate Automated Test Templates

Also We can Run Tests

Define Test Sets
Add Tests to a Test Set
Schedule Test Runs
Run Tests Manually
Run Tests Automatically

Also we can Add and Track Defects

Match Defects
Update Defects
Mail Defects
Associating Defects with Tests
Create Favorite Views

Also we can store testcases,test results and we can
generate test execution reports

i will write answers for remaining questions later
