Question { IBM, 31302 }

How many testcases can you write an avg for a day?

Answer

Testers are supposed to be talkative. In order to keep their
point floating they have to argue, give reasons for everything.
Hence such questions are asked to measure the capability of
a tester to argue. If u say 5 to 10 then justify your answer
or if you said 5-60 then also you have to justify your
answer. So, in all whatever you say or do be ready with the
supporting documents.

Question { 8386 }

What is the difference between functional specifications
and business requirement specification?

Answer

Well!! There are vast difference between these two terms.
BRS is the crude business language which is stated by the
client and can't be processed to design stage based on this
document.

FRS/FSD is a document prepared by the business analyst and a
baseline document for the SDLC/STLC process. Though, FSD is
prepared with the help of BRS only but FSD contains more
technical terms and prepared keeping technical aspects of SDLC.

Hope i am able to clear the diffrence

Question { Gtech, 4458 }

What is the difference between volume and load?

Answer

Both are used for performance testing.
The basic difference that I understand is as follows:

volume testing: we check the data transfer sustainability
for example: input/output file, we give maximum data to
input file to check whether system sustains or not.

Load testing: we create virtual user and at a time access
the site to check the response time/throughput.

I appreciate valuable comments on the above.

Question { CTS, 47844 }

Are monkey testing & gorilla testing same? If not, then
what is the difference between these two?

Answer

such questions are waste, I pity on those interviewer who
asks such questions. Such questions have no significance.
Its sheer wasting time of interviewer and interviewee.
There are many other and interesting things to ask in the
interview. Fail to understand why such questions are given
importance.

Not a good practice

Question { AZTEC, 17439 }

What is the difference between bug,defect, error, failulre,
fault & mistake?

Answer

Bug is from tester's perspective

"The output that deviates from the actual requirement
(SRS). In that case tester call it a bug and developer call
it a defect."

Defect is from developer's perspective

Error occurred while coding or some logical error.

Failure &fault is same and can be difined as when client
fails to get the required results during acceptance testing
he/she termed it as failure/fault.

Feel free to comment
