1] Tell me abt Testing-Life-Cycle Plan the test Design the test Implement the test Execute the test Evaluate the test. 2] Difference between the Implement and Execute the test Implement Setup testing environment Execute- To run test 3] why do we need setup the testing environment . We cant do testing on development site. To get better results we have to test from the user prospective we have to create the testing environment 4] Explain abt your previous work About your projects 5]How much automation we can do in testing give 15-25%[negotiate] 6]How u will rate ur self in testing 7] what is regration and re-testing. The objective of regression testing is to ensure software remains intact. A baseline set of data and scripts will be maintained and executed to verify changes introduced during the release have not undone any previous code. Expected results from the baseline are compared to results of the software being regression tested. All discrepancies will be highlighted and accounted for, before testing proceeds to the next level. Test from bottom is re-testing 8] Will automated testing tools make testing easier Possibly. For small projects, the time needed to learn and implement them may not be worthwhile. For larger projects, or on-going long-term projects, they can be valuable.
9] What is a 'test plan

A software project test plan is a document that describes the objectives, scope, approach, and focus of a software testing effort. The process of preparing a test plan is a useful way to think through the efforts needed to validate the acceptability of a software product. The completed document will help people outside the test group understand the 'why' and 'how' of product validation. It should be thorough enough to be useful, but not so thorough that no one outside the test group will be able to read it. Test case A test case is a document that describes an input, action, or event and its expected result, in order to determine if a feature of an application is working correctly. A test case should contain particulars such as test case identifier, test case name, objective, test conditions/setup, input data requirements, steps, and expected results. Note: The process of developing test cases can help find problems in the requirements or design of an application, since it requires completely thinking through the operation of the application. For this reason, it's useful to prepare test cases early in the development cycle, if possible. 11] 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 Beta or alpha testing period ends
12]

What if there isn't enough time for thorough testing

Use risk analysis to determine where testing should be focused. Since it's rarely possible to test every possible aspect of an application, every possible combination of events, every dependency, or everything that could go wrong, risk analysis is appropriate to most software development projects. This requires judgment skills, common sense, and experience. Considerations can include: Which functionality is most important to the project's intended purpose Which functionality is most visible to the user Which functionality has the largest safety impact Which functionality has the largest financial impact on users 13] How can Web sites be tested

Web sites are essentially client/server applications - with web servers and 'browser' clients. Consideration should be given to the interactions between HTML pages, protocols, security, applications that run in web pages (such as applets, JavaScript, plug-in applications), and applications that run on the server side (such as CGI scripts, database interfaces, logging applications, dynamic page generators, etc.). (Additionally, there are a wide variety of servers and browsers, various versions of each, small but sometimes significant differences between them, variations in connection speeds, rapidly changing technologies, and multiple standards and protocols). The end result is that testing for web sites can become a major ongoing effort. 14]Baseline A specification or product that has been formally reviewed and agreed upon, which thereafter serves as the basis for further development, and can be changed only through formal, change control procedures. 15]Benchmarking An improvement process in which a company measures its performance against that of bestin-class companies, determines how those companies achieved their performance levels,and uses the information to improve its own performance. The subjects that can be benchmarked include strategies, operations, processes, and procedures. (Similar to nominal group technique.) 16]Type I error An incorrect decision to reject something when it is acceptable. 17]Type II error An incorrect decision to accept something when it is unacceptable. 18]Why u want to work with Virtusa To get expose my knowledge on different domains Since Virtusa is having good projects on different domains. 19]How u know Virtusa is in different domains Through your web site. 20]Have u worked on winrunner Yes 21]Tell me abt recording methods in winrunner. Explain abt two recording methods. And some basics from winrunner. Since I know better abt Rational so I dragged them into Rational.

22]Which models u know in testing. Explain abt ISO ,CMM if u know. 23]If customer is satisfied with ur quality then what is the next step. I told them I will give the enhancement option to go anther version of product Which is more reliable than previous version.
