Question { Amdocs, 11485 }

What is smoke testing?


Answer

Smoke testing:

There's a slight difference between smoke test and sanity
test, but most of the times both are considered as the
same. As part of a Smoke test, we test the major or
mandatory functionalities of the application like, eg:- in
a web appliaction, when we click on an internal link on the
web page, the related web page shall be opened without any
application or server error.

Finally the aim of Smoke test is to test the stability of
the application to start the testing process. To start the
actual testing process, an application shall need to pass
the "Smoke Test" and/or the "Sanity Test".

Question { 13300 }

what is the good answer for authentication and
authorization?


Answer

Authentication:

This is the process to test whether the specific user is
allowed to use or login to the application.



But in Authorization, we test whether the specific user
is allowed to access some controls or features of the
system/application/software. Eg: In an office automation
tool, every employee can login to the application, but only
accounts manager can access accounts related features, only
HR manager or executive can access company inforamtion.
