Regression Testing:
Whenever tester find any defect it will given for developer
for correction. After developer correct the defect it once
again go to tester.The tester now do the testing from the
begining to ensure that cases are without any defect and
particular defect has been corrected.This procees of
testing called regression testing.

Answer / ramana
Regression Testing is nothing but reverification of the
application.It is done on modified build.In this Testing,
tester First tests defect detected modules. After that
tester tests remaining modules. If tester got any defect
in that modules he again send error report to developers.
There is no end for Regression Testing.

The Test Engineers are reexecuting previously failed test on
same s/w build after solving environment related (or) test
case related/ Test data related defects. after solving code
related defect only the test engineers are receiving
modified s/w build with release note.

Answer / b.v.rao
Regression testing is a type of testing in which one will
perform testing on the already tested funcanality once
again, to make sure that when ever new changes are made by
the development team all the related functions are working
fine as previous.

Answer / sateesh
What is regression testing is the type of testing that
ensures the software remains intact. A baseline sets of data
and scripts are maintained and executed to verify that
changes introduced during the release have not "undone" any
previous code. Then expected results from the baseline are
compared to results of the software under test. All
discrepancies have to be highlighted and accounted for,
before the testing proceeds to the next level.

The Test Engineer is Reececuting previously failed test on
modified s/w build to ensure the correctness of defect
solving and reexecute previosuly related passed test on that
modified build to defect side effects.

Answer / bhanu prabhakar
Regression testing:
If a bug occurs in one module and send that bug to a developer
then developer fix the bug and again send to tester .Then the

In manual testing (web based testing)interview, interviewer asked me "How you connect to the database?" What is the answer for this question
I attended ADOBE,bangalore interview in aug 2009.first round written test they ask questions 1)Give 5 reasons why a build can be released with bug 2)Write a bug report for a word processor program which crashes when the contents of 89th column is been sorted in assending order. 3)write test 10 cases for program which has a table with 2 fields of NAME od char type and CLASS of INT type.NAME fields is truncated after 26 charaters and CLASS takes value between 1 to 9 both included. There are 3 possible opearations program can perform a)When a new student joins the class the program adds a new field b)When student leaves the class the field get deleted c)when student gets promoted then program incremts the class by 1 Write 5 test cases for the scenario. 4)write 10 test cases for a program that takes date in dd/mm/yyyy format and prints it out with a increment of 1. for dates (dd) can be given in the range 1<=dd>=30 for months (mm) can be given in the range 1<=mm>=12 for years(yyyy) can be given in the range 1600<=yyyy>=9999 5)Give 5 bugs that could cause a program to crash when it printed the 999999 th pages 1000001th line. Some objective question were there but they were easy. 1st LEVEL WRITTEN TEST FOR QA: 1. 15 min Logical Ability test: Simple syllogism based questions, sequence related questions, etc 2. 30 min Quantitative Aptitude test: Simple Arithmetic, angles, geometry, profit/loss, number system There will be 15 questions for match the column Mark A if column A is GREATER than column B Mark B if column A is LESS than column B Mark C if column A is = column B Mark D if DATA IS INSUFFICIENT There are very simple typical baron based There would be 3 questions on triangles all three were from RS Aggarwal. 17. there was one set of questions on the DI question on 20 -25 were on this graph It was about the total mass of human body is 70,000 gms Muscles 30000 Bones 10000 Blood 5000 Liver There were two pie charts Which tell the percentage of water in the food. And the second one tells the which parts ,,something like that Question 1. what percentage of total mass does liver has Ans 2.4% What is the ratio of bones to total mass All the questions are simple .. 3. 45 min Testing concept test: 20 objective multiple choice qustions like binary form of numbers, virtual memory, lossy compression, while loop, if-then-else, error codes. 1. Winzip is a a. lossy compression b. lossless Compression c.text d image 2. output of 11000100 minus 2 3. Memory leakage is because of a.variable not decraled b. variable not free.. like this 4 options were given 4. Virtual memory concept is related to a. memory leagkage {mospagebreak} 5.Reggretion testing is defined as a. testing the whole application b.testing the different modules in the application 6. If the time is very limited for the testing then what would u test in the application. a. run all the tests b.look for the most used featues in the application c.go to the test plan and run the test based on the priority I would suggest to go thru all the definition like what is regretion testing .what is unit smoke.etc. 1 Test Case Writing questions: 10 test cases for entering 3 values representing sides of a triangle and the program giving output as scalene, isosceles or eqilauteral (10 Marks) 1 Output of a calculator and finding the error in the output, write the defect log for the bug (5 Marks) 1 Ques on weather Dev should do the testing or not. Give 3 reason on favour and 2 against it. (5 Marks) 1 Question diff between priority of a bug and severity of a bug. Give example of one case where priority is high but severity is low and one case where severity is high bur priority is low. 1 Question on a program that calculates P=R/I where R, I are integer inputs and P a floating point output. Write 10 test cases for this - 5 Marks. 2nd round: 1.write a testcase for login page,mobile phone. 2.write a program for fibonacci series. 3.puzzles (-%-+-+--=-%-+--) fill the dashes with nos from 1 to 9.left hand side only odd nos. right hand side only even nos. the nos should not repeat. 4.what is sanity testing,regression testing,explian about ur project etc.. 3re round: 1.explain about ur project.they will ask questions from projects like what is the web server used in ur project,what are all the clinents ur company will have?team size etc... 2. one puzzle. i attended upto this level only...still more rounds will be there....if u goto adobe interview be clear in testing concepts,basic programs and more puzzles.
