Q - What are test case formats widely use in web based testing?
A
- Web based applications deal with live web portals. Hence the test
cases can be broadly classified as - front end , back end, security
testing cases, navigation based, field validations, database related
cases. The test cases are written based on the functional specifications
and wire-frames.



Q - How to prepare test case and test description for job application?
A
- Actually the question seems to be vague,... see naukri is one of
biggest job site globally and it has is own complex functionality
normally a Test case is derived from a SRS (or) FRS basically and test
description is always derived from a Test case. Test description is
nothing but the steps which has to be followed for the TC what u wrote.
And the TC is nothing which compares the expectation and the
actual(outcome)result.



Q - What is the difference between Functional and Technical bugs? Give an example for each.?
Functional Bugs : Bugs found when Testing the Functionality of the AUT.
Technical bugs: Related to Communication which AUT makes.Like H/W,DB ! where these could not be connected properly.


Q - Give proper Seq. to following testing Types Regression, Retesting, Funtional, Sanity and Performance Testing.?
A
- The proper sequence in which these types of testing are performed is -
Sanity, Functional, Regression, Retesting, Performance.



Q - How u test MS- Vista without any requirement Doc.?
Know
what change is being made from the older verison of Windows to the
newer version with the help of User Release notes thats released with
Windows Vista. Based on that, formulate the test cases and execute the
same.



Q - What is verification? validation?

Verification
typically involves reviews and meetings to evaluate documents, plans,
code, requirements, and specifications. This can be done with
checklists, issues lists, walkthroughs, and inspection meetings.
Validation typically involves actual testing and takes place after
verifications are completed. The term 'IV & V' refers to Independent
Verification and Validation.



Q - How can new Software QA processes be introduced in an existing organization?

A
lot depends on the size of the organization and the risks involved. For
large organizations with high-risk (in terms of lives or property)
projects, serious management buy-in is required and a formalized QA
process is necessary.


Where
the risk is lower, management and organizational buy-in and QA
implementation may be a slower, step-at-a-time process. QA processes
should be balanced with productivity so as to keep bureaucracy from
getting out of hand.


For
small groups or projects, a more ad-hoc process may be appropriate,
depending on the type of customers and projects. A lot will depend on
team leads or managers, feedback to developers, and ensuring adequate
communications among customers, managers, developers, and testers.


The
most value for effort will often be in (a) requirements management
processes, with a goal of clear, complete, testable requirement
specifications embodied in requirements or design documentation, or in
'agile'-type environments extensive continuous coordination with
end-users, (b) design inspections and code inspections, and (c)
post-mortems/retrospectives.



Q - Why is it often hard for management to get serious about quality assurance?

Solving
problems is a high-visibility process; preventing problems is
low-visibility. This is illustrated by an old parable: In ancient China
there was a family of healers, one of whom was known throughout the land
and employed as a physician to a great lord.



Q - What's an 'inspection'?

An
inspection is more formalized than a 'walkthrough', typically with 3-8
people including a moderator, reader, and a recorder to take notes.
The subject of the
inspection is typically a document such as a requirements spec or a test
plan, and the purpose is to find problems and see what's missing, not
to fix anything. Attendees should prepare for this type of meeting by
reading thru the document; most problems will be found during this
preparation. The result of the inspection meeting should be a written
report.


Q - What is a 'walkthrough'?


A 'walkthrough' is an informal meeting for evaluation or informational purposes. Little or no preparation is usually required.

Q - What makes a good test engineer? A
good test engineer has a 'test to break' attitude, an ability to take
the point of view of the customer, a strong desire for quality, and an
attention to detail. Tact and diplomacy are useful in maintaining a
cooperative relationship with developers, and an ability to communicate
with both technical (developers) and non-technical (customers,
management) people is useful. Previous software development experience
can be helpful as it provides a deeper understanding of the software
development process, gives the tester an appreciation for the
developers' point of view, and reduce the learning curve in automated
test tool programming. Judgment skills are needed to assess high-risk
areas of an application on which to focus testing efforts when time is
limited.


Q - What makes a good Software QA engineer?

The same qualities a good tester has are useful for a QA engineer.
Additionally, they must be able to understand the entire software
development process and how it can fit into the business approach and
goals of the organization. Communication skills and the ability to
understand various sides of issues are important. In organizations in
the early stages of implementing QA processes, patience and diplomacy
are especially needed. An ability to find problems as well as to see
'what's missing' is important for inspections and reviews.
Q - What is agile testing?
Agile testing is used whenever customer requirements are changing dynamically
If we have no SRS, BRS but we have test cases does you execute the test cases blindly or do you follow any other process.
Test case would have detail steps of what the application is supposed to do.
1) Functionality of application.
2) In addition you can refer to Backend, is mean look into the Database. To gain more knowledge of the application.
