1. What is Software Testing?

The process of exercising or evaluating a system or system component by manual or

automated
means to verify that it satisfies specified requirements or to identify differen
ces between expected
and actual results..."
2. What is the Purpose of Testing?
· To uncover hidden error.
· To achieve the maximum usability of the system
· To demonstrate expected performance of the system.
3. What types of testing do testers perform?
Black-box testing, White box testing is the basic type of testing testers Perfor
ms. Apart from that
they also perform a lot of tests like
· Ad-Hoc testing
· Cookie testing
· CET ( Customer Experience test)
· Client-Server Test
· Configuration Tests
· Compatibility testing
· Conformance Testing
· Depth Test
· Error Test
· Event-Driven
· Full Test
· Negative Test
· Parallel Testing
· Performance Testing
· Recovery testing
· Sanity Test
· Security Testing
· Smoke testing
· Web Testing
4. What is the Outcome of Testing?
A stable application, performing its task as expected.
5. What is the need for testing?
The Primary need is to match requirements get satisfied with the functionality a
nd also to
answer two questions
A. Whether the system is doing what it supposes to do?
B. Whether the system is not performing what it is not suppose to do?
6. What are the entry criteria for Functionality and Performance testing?
Functional testing:
Functional Spec. /BRS (CRS)/User Manual. An integrated application, Stable for t
esting
Performance Testing:
Software Testing made easy
Same above mentioned baseline document support and good and healthy application
that
supports drastic performance testing
7. What is test metrics?
After doing the actual testing, an evaluation doing on the testing to extract so
me
information about the application health using outputs of testing.
Software metrics is any type of measurement, which relates to a software system,
process or related documentation.
Eg: Size of code and Found bugs on that count
Number of bugs reported per day.
Number of Conditions/Cases tested per day
It can be
· Test Efficiency
· Total number of tests executed
8. Why do you go for White box testing, when Black box testing is available?
A benchmark that certifies Commercial (Business) aspects and also functional (te
chnical)
aspects is objectives of black box testing. Here loops, structures, arrays, cond
itions, files,
etc., are very micro level but they are Basement for any application, So White b
ox takes
these things in Macro level and test these things
9. What are the entry criteria for Automation testing?
Application should be stable.
Clear Design and Flow of the application is needed
10. When to start and Stop Testing?
If we follow Waterfall model then testing can be started after coding. If V model is
followed then testing can be started at design phase itself.
Regard less of model the following criteria should considered
To start:
When test Environment was supportive enough for testing.
When Application study was confident enough
To Stop:
After full coverage of Scope of testing
After getting enough confidence on health of the application.
11. What is Quality
Fitness to use
A journey towards excellence
12. What is Baseline document, Can you say any two?
A baseline document, which starts the understanding of the application before th
e
tester, starts actual testing.
Functional Specification
Business Requirement Document
13. What is verification?
A tester uses verification method to ensure the system complies with an organiza
tion
standards and processes, relying on review or non executable methods (such as
software, hardware, documentation and personnel)
Are we Building the Right Product
Software Testing made easy
14. What is validation?
Validation physically ensures that the system operates according to plan by Exec
uting the
system functions through series of tests that can be observed or evaluated.
Are we building the Product Right
15. What is quality assurance?
A planned and systematic pattern for all actions necessary to provide adequate
confidence that the item or product conforms to established technical requiremen
