Explain: a.) Upward Compression testing b.) Usability Testing c.) Gray box testing d.) Structural Testing e.) Reliability Testing a.)Upward Compression testing: Upward compression testing is testing the compression of a subordinate module into a superior module when de-modularization is done. b.)Usability Testing: Usability testing focuses on how usable the product is and is generally performed by the actual users who will be using the product. This technique is generally used for web and mobile applications where usability is of high importance. c.)Gray box testing: Gray box testing is a combination of white and black box testing wherein the tester is…

Explain: a.) Test Methodology b.) Test Scenario c.) Test Case d.) Requirement traceability matrix a.) Test Methodology The testing methodology determines how an application will be tested and what will be tested. Examples of methodologies: waterfall, agile, etc. b.) Test Scenario Test scenario is a logical grouping of test cases and it mentions the sequence in which the test cases are to be executed. c.) Test Case A test case is a unit-level document describing the inputs, steps of execution, and the expected result of each test condition for every requirement from the BRD. Testers determine whether the application is…

How do you develop a test plan and schedule? Describe bottom-up and top-down approaches. A test plan is a contract between the testers and the project team describing the role of testing in the project. The purpose of the test plan is to prescribe the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of the testing activities. To identify items being tested, the feature to be tested, the testing task to be performed, the personnel responsible for each task, and the risks associated with the plan. From this, it is imperative that the test plan is made by taking inputs from the product…

Explain: a.) Quality Assurance b.) Quality Control c.) Test Case d.) Test Condition e.) Test Script f.) Test Data g.) Test Bed a.) Quality Assurance Quality assurance is an activity that establishes and evaluates the processes that produce products. Quality assurance would measure processes to identify weaknesses and then correct them to continually improve the process: Eg. Code review. b.) Quality Control Quality control is a process in which the product’s quality is compared with standards and corrective actions taken if required. Quality control activities focus on identifying defects in the actual products produced. Eg. Testing. c.) Test Case A…

What is the difference between build and release? A “build” is given by dev team to the test team. A “release” is formal release of the product to its customers.A build when tested and certified by the test team is given to the customers as “release”. A “build” can be rejected by test team if any of the tests fail or it does not meet certain requirements. One release can have several builds associated with it. How do you differentiate the roles of Quality Assurance Manager and Project Manager? Quality Assurance Manager (QA Manager) defines the process to be followed…

What’s the role of CMM Level in Testing? Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a model of 5 levels of process ‘maturity’ that determine effectiveness in delivering quality software. The 5 levels of CMM are described as below:Level 1: Initial: – characterized by chaos, periodic panics, and heroic efforts required by individuals to successfully complete projects. Very few or none of the processes are in place.Level 2: Repeatable: – Software Project Tracking, Requirements Management, Realistic Planning and Configuration Management Processes are in place; successful practices can be repeated. Level 3: Defined: – Standard Software Development and Maintenance Processes are integrated throughout…

What are the key challenges of software testing? Key Challenges of s/w testing:1. Testing considered late in project2. Requirements not testable3. Integration is done after all components have been developed: This might result into full testing not being covered.4. Complete testing is not possible What are the roles of glass-box and black-box testing tools? Glass Box (or white box) testing is the process of giving i/p to the system and checking how the system processes i/p to generate o/pBlack Box testing is the process of giving i/p to the system and checking if the system is giving correct o/p without…
