1.Software testing activities should starta. as soon as the code is writtenb. during the design stagec. when the requirements have been formally documentedd. as soon as possible in the development life cycle2.Faults found by users are due to:a. Poor quality softwareb. Poor software and poor testingc. bad luckd. insufficient time for testing3.What is the main reason for testing software before releasing it?a. to show that system will work after releaseb. to decide when the software is of sufficient quality to releasec. to find as many bugs as possible before released. to give information for a risk based decision about release4.…

1) When what is visible to end-users is a deviation from the specific or expected behavior, this iscalled:a) an errorb) a faultc) a failured) a defecte) a mistake2) Regression testing should be performed:v) every weekw) after the software has changedx) as often as possibley) when the environment has changedz) when the project manager saysa) v & w are true, x – z are falseb) w, x & y are true, v & z are falsec) w & y are true, v, x & z are falsed) w is true, v, x y and z are falsee) all of the above…

In pairwise testing, all pairs of values have to be exercised during testing. If there are n parameters, each with m values, then between each two parameter we have m*m pairs. The total number of pairs is m* m* n * (n − 1)/2.The objective of pairwise testing is to have a set of test cases that cover all the pairs. As there are n parameters, a test case is a combination of values of these parameters and will cover (n−1)+(n−2)+… = n(n−1)/2 pairs. In the best case when each pair is covered exactly once by one test case, m2 different test cases will be…

Most of the professionals in the Software Testing & Quality Assurance domain must be aware of IBM’s Rational Functional Tester, popular by its nick name – RFT.  This article is aimed at providing an overview of this most powerful next generation functional-testing and automation tool from Rational and is based upon object-oriented technology. Earlier it was known as RobotJ and XDE Tester.  Overview of Rational Functional Tester: RFT provides us choice among two scripting languages and two development environments i.e. Java under Eclipse framework, alternatively Visual Basic.NET under Microsoft Visual Studio. One of the great plus point of RFT is that…

There is a systematic cycle to software testing, although it varies from organization to organizationSoftware Testing Life Cycle: Software testing life cycle or STLC refers to a comprehensive group of testing related actions specifying details of every action along with the specification of the best time to perform such actions. There can not be a standardized testing process across various organizations, however every organization involved in software development business, defines & follows some sort of testing life cycle.STLC by & large comprises of following Six Sequential Phases: 1) Planning of Tests2) Analysis of Tests3) Designing of Tests4) Creation & Verification of Tests5)…

1. Name the types of Test Automation?Record and Playback (does not work in real world scenario)Functional decompositionKeyword drivenModel BasedHybrid Test Automation Framework etc. 2. Explain the benefits of using Test Automation?It can be executed unattended, leaving the testers free to do other work.Large number of data combinations can be run – Good coverage.Re-use of test cases in the different releases/versions etc. 3. Give the names of some Test Automation products/vendors?QuickTest Professional – HPRational Robot – IBM 4. When to use Test Automation?In one short lineSuccessful test-automation needs to start early in the development cycle.For elaborate reading see:http://www.stickyminds.com/sitewide.asp?Function=edetail&ObjectType=COL&ObjectId=2084http://googletesting.blogspot.com/2007/10/automating-tests-vs-test-automation.html 5.
