Question { 10050 }

What are the things you prefer and prepare before starting
testing?


Answer

All the above answers are right but a small correction
needed, testing start right from BRS and not after all the
above stated answers.

The above stated answers are starting of validating the
application or build( where the techniques are used.)

FOr each and every phase we need testing.
at 1. BRS we check whether the BRS we gathered is correct or
wrong( here we consider resources, software to use, hardware
configuration, budget).
2. SRS confirm requirement for about to build application,
we build test plan and there stratergy . approach and
required training if needed.Conduct Reviews.
for well understanding of the documentation.
3.Design we take care of Test case looking at the ppt and
depending upon the SRS.
and like wise when we are going towards validation testing
we have to check following conditions mainly.

1. if the testing team given a seperate environment (
machine) check whether that is work and the code for that
machine has been freezed or not. ( the code should be
freezed when we are testing).

2. All the test cases are reviewed and checked whether they
are written according to the functionality and requirement.
3. Look at the test plan and test stratergy approach which
describes which approach and techniques to be followed and
are we comfort with that techniques.
4. Are the resources available which is stated in the test plan.

after this we have to do sanity testing for accepting the
build before we do all the above.

hope it gives the answer. :)

Question { Mind Tree, 8166 }

Suppose product is to be delivered on urgent basis.There is
no time to test on all OS and Browseres.We have time to
execute atlest in one combination of OS and browser.Which
one do you prefer and why?


Answer

I suppose did everyone read the question properly or not.
The question is not realated to insufficient time to test
the application but the question is with little bit of time
which combination of OS and browser to test.
Every one gave answer for testing an application with less
time for this adhoc is good but do read the question carefully.


According to me ask the clients for which OS and browser
they mostly work on and on which OS and browser most of the
people working, now depending on this ( percentage wise ) go
with that OS and browser.

If it is web based application like yahoo or gmail or other
most of the people will be using windows OS and IE browser
so it will be good to test on these OS and browser.

Any how first clients requirement is important, here only
guess testing come into existence.

Let me know is this the answer they are looking for.

Question { Vertex, 15967 }

give me an example of high severity and low priority.And
low severity and high priority


Answer

1.Low Severity and High priority:-
Let us discuss with a simple login screen.

Enter username and enter password and press login button,
if it is not accepting it then it would be difficult for
end-users to work with the application.For this scenario the
impact would be very high like lot of end-user may not
complete there task. which is high priority but solving them
is really simple just go to database and check the login
connection and re-set the password which takes only few min
to solve but until solved it is stopping lot of end-user to
complete there task. so priority is high ( to be resolved
immediately but resolving is simple so low severity).

High Severity and low priority:-
suppose we are having an application where we enter
employees record and assingn subjects they teach. Now we
have entered an new employee record and save it and assigned
subjects to it. Now if we want to modify the the subject
assigned to some other and try to save it is showing an
error message unable to save. For this scenario if we enter
the details perfectly we can complete the task and no need
to change and modification takes place rarely so we can go
through the application without any disturbance. but to
solve the problem of modication the developers has to go to
the entire code and might takes place to solve that and
might cause some side effects too. so impact is less but
solving the problem is very high . so this reason it is
called high severity and low priority.

this might help you in clarification.

Question { NSN, 9449 }

Yester Day i Attended a interview interviewer asked that
Due to Sum Bug the total Testing process is Blocked and
still hundred test cases are remaining to execute with in a
week u have to reliese to the customer at that time what
will you do?


Answer

Analyse the question, from the question we got the below points

1. Its blocking the application to move forward ( showstopper).
2. There is client release in due next week.
3. Hundred's of test cases remained to execute.

From the above things we can do the follow actions

1. Try to resolve the bugs ASAP and meanwhile execute those
test cases which are not related to those scenario. In this
way we can have sufficient time to test the bugs and at the
same time we can check the bugs regression.

2. Extend the client day explaining the severity of the bugs.

3. If the bugs is too hard to solve within the timestamp
available the best option left would be revert back the
previous latest version we had ( if it is jut few weeks back
release) and try to fix the new enhancement quickly.

Question { Symphony, 7447 }

What r the arguments in lr_set_debug function


Answer

If we are looking for some details reports of an error then
we need to use lr_set_debug syntax. what happens is when we
use this is that it gets the certain portion of the log
generation when an error comes up. Here when we are
specifying the syntax we need to specify which portion of
log to be generated like FULL TRACE,Parametarization,
Extended log,RESULTDATA.

lr_set_debug_Message(LR_MSG_EXTENDEDLOG|LR_MSG_CLASS_PARAM|LR_MSG_FULLTRACE|LR_MSG_CLASS_RESULT_DATA,LR_SWITCH_ON);

Question { 8107 }

what is 'v'model?


Answer

BUssiness Requirements(BR)- ---------> User Acceptence Testing
\ /
System Requirements(SRS)----------> System Testing
\ /

High Level Design(HLD)---------> System ntegratioon Testing
\ /

Low Level Design(LLD)--------> Component Integration Testing
\ /

Coding ------------> Unit Testing
\ /

\ /

\ /

Build


V Model is a popular Software development model. It large
number of resources to implement.
In v model every development stage will have corresponding
testing stage.
Here test will be prepared in parallel with development phases.
i.e
After receiving the business requirements are prepared
then testing team will develop User acceptence Testcases.
But these testcases will be executed and the end of the project.

Here Business Requirements are very abstract in nature and
it talks just about What user/customer actually needs.
System Requirement Specifications will be prepared From
Business Requirements specifications.
SRS will be more elaborated then the Business requirements.
SRS tell what are system features need to be developed.
After seeing SRS Document Testing People will start
preparing System Functional Test cases.

After receiving High level Design Doc,Testing people will
prepare the System Integration Test cases.
After seeing Low level Design doc,Development team will will
prepare the Component integration Test cases.
After coding development team will prepare uint test cases
and executes the unit test on the each individual unit or
function.
Thus there is a mapping between the each development phase
with testing.

Question { 4844 }

Which methodologies, Technologies are fallowed in your
company?


Answer

There are various methodologies available for
developing and testing a software. The metholdogiy we choose
depends on factors like nature of the projects, the project
schedule, resource available and company standards.

Methodology vary from company to company it is not
standard that we have to strictly follow either this or that
methodology.

For CMM Level company--> Mostly they follow V-Model, XP
,prototype model and company created own models.
prototype model when the clients ask us to show for each
and every phase before making original model ( like giving
sample model before developing which is costly for creating
sample itself).

Moderate company--> They also go for V-model and
rarely v-model.

Start up and below grade company--> they either go for
water fall model ( because of budget) and adhoc model ( no
process , it goes just without anything).

Each and every methodology has indept of subject to
itself.
ultimately what ever methodology we adapt our aim is to
test it properly and give working product/ project.

Question { 2510 }

As there are different builds for every version & any build
can release to the client.I m using Excell sheet for Test
Case writting.
Then Am I write Version No/build No.newly added feature
test cases. Because when that build again release
for testing I can understand that this build have that
feature.


Answer

Yes you have to mention/ write version and build no for each
and every test case and for newly added feature.

This is a real issue which comes up.

Yes the excel sheet should have version and build no. for
each and every new feature too because you might not know
when the clients may ask for revert back to previous or old
version they need as they may feel that the previous release
is better than this release.

or

if you can maintain the release matrix which contains the
version no/ build no and matching test cases it would be
real better for you to understand which test cases is
related to which release, instead of going through the
entire test cases.

Question { CSC, 4527 }

Can u please explain wat is Cyclomatic Complexity?and wat
is incident?


Answer

Cyclomatic complexity is a software metric, It used to
measure the complexity of a program. It directly measures
the number of linearly independent paths through a program's
source code.

M = E − N + 2P

where

M = cyclomatic complexity
E = the number of edges of the graph
N = the number of nodes of the graph
P = the number of connected components.

Here main things is of identifying predicates or decision
points ( predicate node means edge connectin two nodes).



Incident:- Its unusual or unespected behaviour that occurs
or occured in the software or appplication is caled incident
specifically designated for the task beforehand or on the
spot, It can be a hardware problem too.

It can be produced or may not be produced

Question { 4415 }

If any feature is removed from the application then also
tester have to do Regression testing?


Answer

Yes ofcourse have to test , this is testers responsibility.
We have to check that the removed functionality is removed
throughout the application and its dependend features too
should be removed.

This is really a tuff one and need complete end to end
testing throughly. this is best part of testing..:)
