Question { 8818 }

Can any one explain about USE CASES?

Answer

Use cases is a document that describes user action and
system response for a particular functionality. For example
if there is a submit or next button on the end of the page
and if we " "click it" it has to take us to next page. So
the submit or next button's functionality is to take us to
the next page.

Hi all,

I am currently working in manual testing and am interested

Hi,
You have to learn SQL queries. Most of the time in the
database testing we use the JOIN queries. We need to learn
so basic queries. You can learn SQL in www.w3schools.com.
Whatever is this website is more then enough for database

specify another matrix/table used for same functionality as
of tracibility matrix?

Answer

Another matrix used for same functionality as of
traceability matrix is Test director now called as Quality

Even in the QC we map requirements to test cases.

Question { 5141 }

how to Link the requirement with Test Cases in the
Treaceability Matrix. Give real time Example

( Pl. Real Time Project testers only)

Answer

Hi,
In the real time application is divided into
different modules. Each module or the requirement is
identified with the unique ID. For every module we write one
or more test cases and each test case has it own Id.
Traceability matrix is used to mapping between the
requirement and test cases. In the traceability we enter the
requirement id and the testcase id's that are linked to each
other.

Question { ITC Infotech, 8870 }

Explain Water fall Model

Answer

Hi,
Like Ramprasad said this is how the water fall model
works. But it has it's major disadvantages. If there is a
major change in the requirement like adding new
functionality or fixing the defect when the application is
in testing phase, then it will be very expensive to fix it.
So this is not really a successful model.

Question { Xavient, 6617 }

What is Equivalence Partitioning and Boundary Value Analysis.
Is Boundary Value is subset of Equivalence Partitioning??

Answer

Boundary value - For example password. In the requirement
doc if they define like password should be 6-10characters.
Then we have to test for 5 characters, we have test 6 and
one between value like 7 or 8 or 9, and with 10 characters
and one with 11character
For ex a to z we have test (a-1),a, g, z,(z+1)
Equivalence partitioning means we have to divide them into
equal parts and we have test each part.
for ex. 500 to 1000. divide them into equal parts like 500,
600,700,800,900,1000 to test them.

Question { Xavient, 13720 }

What is severity and Priority,gave me a example of High
Severity and Low Priority and Vice Versa.

Answer

Severity is defined by the tester. Severity defines the how
severe is the defect like critical, high severity, medium
and low severity.
Priority is defined by the developers. Priority defines how
soon the defect need to be fixed.
If the main functionality of the application is not working
as intended then while testing we assign it as high
severity. For ex. In the banking application after
completing the transaction we have click submit if it
doesn't work properly it is high severity defect.
Low priority is if there are any cosmic errors like spelling
mistake. First they have to first pay attention to the high
severity and then low priority defect.
