How to Swap 30 & 40 in IP address 192.30.40.1 using TCL script?

There are three solutions.
set a 192.30.40.1
set b [ string range $a 3 4 ]
set c [ string range $a 6 7 ]
set d [ string replace $a 3 4 $c ]
set e [ string replace $d 6 7 $b]
puts $e
#=====OR=====
set a 192.30.40.1
set b [ split $a .]
set u [lindex $b 0]
set v [lindex $b 3]

How can one file compare future dated output files from a program which has
change, against the baseline run which used current date for input. The client does
not want to mask dates on the output files to allow compares. - Answer-Rerun
baseline and future date input files same # of days as future dated run of program
with change. Now run a file compare against the baseline future dated output and
the changed programs' future dated output.
Interviewing Suggestions
If you do not recognize a term ask for further definition. You may know the

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------$ causes variable substitution.
8/25/2016 8:15 PM
14 of 38
[ ] causes command substitution.

" quotes white space and semi-colons.
Double-quotes disable word and command separators, while braces disable almost
all special characters.
Quoting with double-quotes: If a word is enclosed in , then spaces, tabs & ; are
treated as ordinary characters.
e.g. set msg "Eggs: \$2.18/dozen\nGasoline: \$1.49/gallon"
=> Eggs: $2.18/dozen
Gasoline: $1.49/gallon
Note: Within quotes all previous substitutions occurs as usual
Quoting with braces: Curly braces prevent breaks and substitutions. Braces provide
a more radical form of quoting where all the special characters lose their meaning.
If a word is enclosed in braces then the characters between the braces are the
value of the word, verbatim. No substitutions are performed on the word and
spaces, tabs, newlines, and semi-colons are treated as ordinary characters.
e.g. set msg {Eggs: $2.18/dozen\nGasoline: $1.49/gallon}
=> Eggs: $2.18/dozen\nGasoline: $1.49/gallon
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Procedures
If the last argument in the argument list has the special name args, procedure
takes varying number of arguments
If no extra arguments, args will be set to an empty string
Example:proc sum args {
set s 0
foreach n $args {
incr s $n
}
return $s
}
Here sum can be invoked with different number of arguments, as follows:

sum 1 2 3 4 5
=> 15
8/25/2016 8:15 PM
15 of 38
sum
=> 0
If the arguments before args are defaulted then there should not be an extra
argument, so args will be set to an empty string
No defaults can be specified for args (the empty string is the default)

16. Miss-communication or No Communication
As a tester, we have some challenges which are very unique to our profession and
some challenges are more generic in nature.
Analytical Challenges - These challenges are not unique to our profession and most
of the professions require some degree of analytical skills. Analytic can be defined
as "Having the ability to analyze" or "Ability to divide into elements and principle",
given the nature of testing it is very important for testers to have good analytical
skills. Like any other skill, analytical skill can also be improved by practice.
Professional Challenges: Every profession has its own challenges. This section
explains the different challenges faced in this field and how you can overcome
them. These may be the interaction with the developer, attitude of
Management towards testing, identification of tools, their usage and training
interaction with the customers, acceptability and entry-exit criteria for the tests and
many more.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What's Ad Hoc Testing?
A testing where the tester tries to break the software by randomly trying
8/25/2016 8:15 PM
functionality of software.
What's the Accessibility Testing?

Testing that determines if software will be usable by people with disabilities.
What's the Alpha Testing?

The Alpha Testing is conducted at the developer sites and in a controlled
environment by the end user of the software
What's the Beta Testing?

Testing the application after the installation at the client place
What is Component Testing?

Testing of individual software components (Unit Testing)
What's Compatibility Testing?

In Compatibility testing we can test that software is compatible with other elements
of system.
What is Concurrency Testing?

Multi-user testing geared towards determining the effects of accessing the same
application code, module or database records. Identifies and measures the level of
locking, deadlocking and use of single-threaded code and locking semaphores.
What is Conformance Testing?

The process of testing that an implementation conforms to the specification on
which it is based. Usually applied to testing conformance to a formal standard.
What is Context Driven Testing?

The context-driven school of software testing is flavor of Agile Testing that
18 of 38

advocates continuous and creative evaluation of testing opportunities in light of

the potential information revealed and the value of that information to the
organization right now.
What is Data Driven Testing?

Testing in which the action of a test case is parameterized by externally defined
data values, maintained as a file or spreadsheet. A common technique is in
Automated Testing.
What is Conversion Testing?

Testing of programs or procedures used to convert data from existing systems for
use in replacement systems.
What is Dependency Testing?

Examines an application's requirements for pre-existing software, initial states and
configuration in order to maintain proper functionality.
What is Depth Testing?

A test that exercises a feature of a product in full detail
What is Dynamic Testing?

Testing software through executing it. See also Static Testing.
What is Endurance Testing?

Checks for memory leaks or other problems that may occur with prolonged
execution.
What is End-to-End testing?

space, unexpected loss of communication, or power out conditions.
What is Localization Testing?

This term refers to making software specifically designed for a specific locality.
What is Loop Testing?

A white box testing technique that exercises program loops.
What is Mutation Testing?

Mutation testing is a method for determining if a set of test data or test cases is
useful, by deliberately introducing various code changes ('bugs') and retesting with
the original test data/cases to determine if the 'bugs' are detected. Proper
implementation requires large computational resources
What is Monkey Testing?

Testing a system or an Application on the fly, i.e. just few tests here and there to
ensure the system or an application does not crash out.
What is Positive Testing?

What is Negative Testing?

Testing aimed at showing software does not work. Also known as "test to fail". See
also Positive Testing.
What is Path Testing?

Testing in which all paths in the program source code are tested at least once
What is Performance Testing?

Testing conducted to evaluate the compliance of a system or component with
specified performance requirements. Often this is performed using an automated
test tool to simulate large number of users. Also known as "Load Testing".
What is Ramp Testing?

Continuously raising an input signal until the system breaks down.
What is Recovery Testing?

Confirms that the program recovers from expected or unexpected events without
loss of data or functionality. Events can include shortage of disk space, unexpected
loss of communication, or power out conditions.
What is the Re-testing testing?

Retesting- Again testing the functionality of the application.
What is the Regression testing?

Regression- Check that change in code have not effected the working functionality
What is Sanity Testing?

Brief test of major functional elements of a piece of software to determine if its
basically operational

What is Scalability Testing?

Performance testing focused on ensuring the application under test gracefully
handles increases in work load.
What is Security Testing?

Testing which confirms that the program can restrict access to authorized
personnel and that the authorized personnel can access the functions available to
their security level.
What is Stress Testing?

Stress testing is a form of testing that is used to determine the stability of a given
system or entity. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a
breaking point, in order to observe the results.
What is Smoke Testing?

A quick-and-dirty test that the major functions of a piece of software work.
Originated in the hardware testing practice of turning on a new piece of hardware
for the first time and considering it a success if it does not catch on fire.
What is Soak Testing?

Running a system at high load for a prolonged period of time. For example,
running several times more transactions in an entire day (or night) than would be
expected in a busy day, to identify and performance problems that appear after a
large number of transactions have been executed.
What's the Usability testing?

Usability testing is for user friendliness.
What's the User acceptance testing?

User acceptance testing is determining if software is satisfactory to an end-user or
customer.

External
This uses the TCP DNS port of the DNS root-servers. If these aren't reachable, we
probably don't have a working external internet connection anyway.
Depending on our setup, this procedure may take up to six minutes to complete
(DNS timeout and route timeout for eleven servers). For me it typically takes a
fraction of a second.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How are Tcl arrays different from Tcl scalar variables?
A Tcl scalar variable contains a string. That string can have some sort of
programmer envisioned data structure encoded into it.
What factors should be considered when determining when to use an array and
when to use a list?
Arrays use more memory than lists. Arrays provide O(1) access due to their hash
table nature, while lists provide O(1) access only for numerical indices.

What is a Tcl array?

A Tcl array is similar to what other languages call a hash or an associated array. It
is a data structure that allows one to associate an array member index (aka array
key) with an array member value. The array member index can be any legal Tcl
string. The array member value can be any legal Tcl string.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Concatenate
This command treats each argument as a list and concatenates them into a single
list. It also eliminates leading and trailing spaces in the arg's and adds a single
separator space between arg's. It permits any number of arguments. For example,
the command
concat a b {c d e} {f {g h}}
a b c d e f {g h}
If no args are supplied, the result is an empty string.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What is a Test Case? Give example...

Definitions:
A test case in software engineering is a set of conditions or variables under which a
tester will determine whether an application or software system is working
8/25/2016 8:15 PM
33 of 38
correctly or not. Test cases are often referred to as test scripts, particularly when
written. Written test cases are usually collected into test suites.
Formal test cases:
In order to fully test that all the requirements of an application are met, there must
be at least two test cases for each requirement: one positive test and one negative
test.
Informal test cases:
In scenario testing (Informal test cases), hypothetical stories are used to help the
tester think through a complex problem or system. These scenarios are usually not
written down in any detail.
Test case format:
* test case ID
* test case description
* test step or order of execution number
* related requirements
* expected Result
* test category
* author
* check boxes for whether the test is automatable and has been automated.
Additional fields that may be included and completed when the tests are executed:
* pass/fail
* remarks
* review comments
------------------------------------------------------------------What is unit testing?
Unit testing is a software development process in which the smallest testable parts
of an application, called units, are individually and independently scrutinized for
proper operation. Unit testing is often automated but it can also be done manually.
This testing mode is a component of Extreme Programming (XP), a pragmatic
method of software development that takes a meticulous approach to building a
product by means of continual testing and revision.
Unit testing involves only those characteristics that are vital to the performance of
the unit under test. This encourages developers to modify the source code without
immediate concerns about how such changes might affect the functioning of other
units or the program as a whole. Once all of the units in a program have been
found to be working in the most efficient and error-free manner possible, larger
8/25/2016 8:15 PM
34 of 38
components of the program can be evaluated by means of integration testing.

Unit testing can be time-consuming and tedious. It demands patience and
thoroughness on the part of the development team. Rigorous documentation must
be maintained. Unit testing must be done with an awareness that it may not be
possible to test a unit for every input scenario that will occur when the program is
run in a real-world environment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What is the cost percentage for Testing in whole Project cost ?
Testing cost will be measured on metrics formulae
Test cost (in %) = (Cost of testing / total cost of project) *100
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------IP
IP Header Length (IHL)Indicates the datagram header length in 32-bit words.
Total LengthSpecifies the length of the entire IP packet, including data and
header, in bytes.
IdentificationConsists of an integer identifying this datagram. This field is used
to help piece together datagram fragments.
FlagsConsists of 3 bits, of which the low-order 2 bits control fragmentation. One
bit specifies whether the packet can be fragmented; the second bit specifies
whether the packet is the last fragment in a series of fragmented packets.
ProtocolIndicates which upper-layer protocol receives incoming packets after IP
processing is complete.
Header ChecksumHelps ensure IP header integrity.
OptionsAllows IP to support various options, such as security.
DataContains upper-layer information.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How can it be known when to stop testing ?
This can be difficult to determine. Many modern software applications are so
complex, and run in such an interdependent environment, that complete testing
can never be done.
Common factors in deciding when to stop are:
- Deadlines (release deadlines, testing deadlines, etc.)
- Test cases completed with certain percentage passed
- Test budget depleted
- Coverage of code/functionality/requirements reaches a specified point
- Bug rate falls below a certain level
8/25/2016 8:15 PM

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Explain Bug Life Cycle ?
Bug life cycles are similar to software development life cycles. At any time during
the software development life cycle errors can be made during the gathering of
requirements, requirements analysis, functional design, internal design,
documentation planning, document preparation, coding, unit testing, test
planning, integration, testing, maintenance, updates, re-testing and phase-out.
Bug life cycle begins when a programmer, software developer, or architect makes a
mistake, creates an unintentional software defect, i.e. a bug, and ends when the
bug is fixed, and the bug is no longer in existence.
2. What is Integration Testing and Regression Testing ?
Integration Testing :
Combining the modules together & construct software architecture.
To test the communication & data flow
8/25/2016 8:15 PM

White & Black box testing techniques are used

It is done by developer & tester
Regression Testing
It is re-execution of our testing after the bug is fixed to ensure that the build is
free from bugs.
Done after bug is fixed
It is done by Tester
3. What is Verification and Validation ?
Verification and Validation : Both assures that a software system meets a user's
needs.
Verfication : is a proces of confirming that software meets its specification.
Validation : is a process of confirming that it meets user specifiaction.
Verification: Is the process by which we analyse whether we built the software
right; meeting the Software Requirement Specification.
Validation: Is the process by which we anlayse whether we built the right software;
taking into account the standards of the organisation building the software and
customers business needs.

Software testing is a part of software development life cycle. It is the process of
running/evaluating an application/program/document for two reasons.
To find errors
To ensure the application meets customers requirements.
What is its importance in software development?
Testing can
avoid errors in a software
identify errors in a software
When to start testing an application?
Testing should be started as early as possible. Once requirements are clear & the
