Question { Cognizant, 8239 }

difference between sanity testing and smoke testing?

Answer

smoke testing
-------------
1.A smoke test is scripted--either using a written set of
tests or an automated test.

2.A Smoke test is designed to touch every part of the
application in a cursory way. It's is shallow and wide.

sanity testing
--------------
1.A sanity test is usually unscripted.

2.A Sanity test is used to determine a small section of the
application is still working after a minor change.

Question { 25334 }

Explain the difference between decision coverage and
condition coverage ? If possible provide few examples.

Answer

Decision Coverage
-----------------
1.Generally it says The test inputs to cover all
decisions(for ex:IF) will be in such a way that,those test
inputs can be able to make that decision block both true and
false.
for ex:
if(a>b)
print a;
endif
if (b>c)
print c;
else
print b;
endif
so here we should make test inputs in such a way that it
should able to make first if true and false although there
is no else condition.same for the second if block.
condition coverage
------------------
Here condition refers to the all possible conditions
existing in the program that we can traverse.
for ex:
if((a>b) && (b>c))

here inside the decision block there are conditions which we
should traverse.

Question { 4749 }

What is the difference bitween cookies and sessions/

Answer

1.If you set the variable to "cookies", then your users
will not have to log in each time they enter your
community.

2.The cookie will stay in place within the user’s browser
until it is deleted by the user.

3.If you set the variable to "sessions", then user activity
will be tracked using browser sessions, and your users
will have to log in each time they re-open their browser.
Additionally, if you are using the "sessions" variable,
you need to secure the "sessions" directory, either by
placing it above the web root or by requesting that your
web host make it a non-browsable directory.

3.The Key difference would be cookies are stored in your
hard disk whereas a session aren't stored in your hard
disk. Sessions are basically like tokens, which are
generated at authentication. A session is available as
long as the browser is opened.

Question { 5207 }

feasibility testing ??

Answer

The feasibility test brings in a series of practical
constraints by asking whether the selected alternative can
be implemented given time, financial, legal, personal, and
social constraints. By focusing the decision-maker on these
constraints, the feasibility test helps to integrate ethical
considerations with other aspects of a decision.

Question { 5207 }

feasibility testing ??

Answer

In order to carry out feasibility testing, a good
understanding of how the chemical separation process works is
helpful.

A separation process consists of two components: 1) the
chemistry of the separation and 2) the engineering of the
separation. The chemical component is the affinity that the
resin has for the target molecule. The engineering component
consists of the bed dimensions, flow rates and other
engineering parameters of the process.

Question { 3814 }

In which phase the GUI Testing will be held on V model?

Answer

UI testing is done at component level.
Because unit testing/component level testing includes

1>TYPE:
Type validation that takes into account things such as
a field expecting alphanumeric characters should not
allow user input of anything other than that.
2>SIZE:
size limit for a float or variable character string
input from the user not to exceed the size allowed by
the database for the respective column.
3>UI based:
In case the unit is UI based, GUI related consistency
check like font sizes, background color, window
sizes, message & error boxes will be checked.

Question { Logica CMG, 5434 }

What are the main points to cover in system test report? What are all the points should consider while reviewing a test report?

Answer

You are eligible to take your on the road test after you have:

completed driver education
held your learners for a minimum of 6 months
completed 60 hours of mentor training

One of the most common reason future drivers fail the on
the road test is simply because they are nervous. This
section is designed to better prepare you for the test by
helping you to know what to expect. The test is broken down
into 12 parts. Each part consists of a maneuver that needs
to be accomplished or actions under review. During each
section points are deducted for failure to perform each part
of the maneuver or action.

Same as system test report.

Question { 5362 }

is smoke and sanity testing is same? Please clear this doubt.

Answer

1.Smoke testing is a wide approach where all areas of the
software application are tested without getting into too
deep. However, a sanity software testing is a narrow
regression testing with a focus on one or a small set of
areas of functionality of the software application.

2.The test cases for smoke testing of the software can be
either manual or automated. However, a sanity test is
generally without test scripts or test cases.


3.Smoke testing of the software application is done to check
whether the build can be accepted for through software
testing. Sanity testing of the software is to ensure whether
the requirements are met or not.

Test Summary Report
-------------------
Generally a test summary report consists of all the
activities related to daily what a tester performs in his
workplace like
a.How many test cases are being executed

b.How many have passed

c.How many have failed

d.pass/fail percentage

-->Test summary report is prepared by TEST LEADER.

Test Closure Report
-------------------

Test closure report consists the steps/procedures what are
to be performed before and after testing and mentioned in a
checklist format.

Question { Polaris, 8190 }

what is agile testing with example

Answer

Agile methodology is an approach to project management,
typically used in software development. It helps teams
respond to the unpredictability of building software through
incremental, iterative work cadences, known as sprints. But
before discussing agile methodologies further, itÂ’s best to
first turn to the methodology that inspired it: waterfall,
or traditional sequential development.
