1.What is the testing life cycle and explain each of its phases Ans : Its steps in life span of product. Ex: Birth to Death. Product requirement till product vanishes. Acceptance, validation & verification, System testing, Integration testing, unit testing. 2.What is Negative testing Ans: Test procedure which tests possible options which checks whether product handle handles such options. Ex : Division of no. Good tests : 1. 4/2 2. 1/2 Negative tests 1. 1/0 ? 2. 0/1 ? 3. 0/0 ? 3.What was a problem you had in your previous assignment (testing if possible)? How did you resolve it? Ans : NA 4.What do you like most about Quality Assurance/Testing Ans : Very challenging job. Especially writing drivers and stubs. 5.Could you tell me two things you did in your previous assignment (QA/Testing related hopefully) that you are proud of? Ans : Automation 6.What methodologies have you used to develop test cases? Ans : OOPS 7.In an application currently in production, one module of code is being modified. Is it necessary to re- test the whole application or is it enough to just test functionality associated with that module? Ans : Affected part of the module and the code thru which all traces it passes. 8.How do you go about going into a new organization? How do you assimilate? Ans: NA 9.Define the following and explain their usefulness: Change Management, Configuration Management, Version Control, and Defect Tracking Ans : Change Management : Looping back with change in requirements or new features. Configuration : Dynamic configurations helps to set system for testing or if a limited features need to be submitted to customer then configuration system helps to configure what you need to configure. Version Control : Keeping old and new versions for safer reasons. Depends on need you can give respective version for customers, if system crashes then u can replace with earlier working version, or you can make branch for the product like win95 to win 2000 or win NT or win xp. Defect tracking : Helps to track problems and traverse to the core till code level. 10.What is ISO 9003? Why is it important Ans : NA 11.

1.What is the testing lifecycle and explain each of its phases • Obtain requirements, functional design, and internal design specifications and other necessary documents • Obtain schedule requirements • Determine reporting requirements, required standards and processes • Identify application's higher-risk aspects, set priorities, and determine scope and limitations of tests • Determine test approaches and methods • Determine test input data requirements • Set schedule estimates, timelines, milestones • Prepare test plan document and have needed reviews/approvals • Write test cases • Perform tests • Evaluate and report results • Track problems/bugs and fixes • Retest as needed • Maintain and update test plans, test cases, test environment, and testware through life cycle 2.What is Negative testing Negative testing is done against the functional requirements, i.e. by some unexpected operation, the expected results are not achieved. E.g. if a program inputs two integers and outputs their result, then one of the negative testing effort would be to input characters instead of integers. 3.What was a problem you had in your previous assignment (testing if possible)? How did you resolve it? One of the problem was to do Load testing. I had no idea about any automation. So I didn’t go for it. Instead, I started the load testing manually, by using 5 computers and 5 users and accessing the application at the same time. This test wasn’t sufficient enough to make sure that the application is good enough to bear all the load. Then, I studied a bit about automation and came across QTP. That resolved my problem, by recording and running the procedures on two different machines with heavy data. 4.What do you like most about Quality Assurance/Testing You have the rights to screw developer’s performance. 5.Could you tell me two things you did in your previous assignment (QA/Testing related hopefully) that you are proud of? Automated Testing Acceptance Testing 6.What methodologies have you used to develop test cases? For sanity test, we have written automated test cases. Whenever we receive a build, we just run those tests to check sanity of the application. For functional testing (Black box), we have documented the test cases. For every module, there are certain number of test cases that are verified after testing and a status of pass/fail is assigned. 7.In an application currently in production, one module of code is being modified. Is it necessary to re- test the whole application or is it enough to just test functionality associated with that module? Retesting is not enough. Regression should be done just to make sure that a particular change of code has not affected the other modules. 8.How do you go about going into a new organization? How do you assimilate? Going into a new organization means sacrificing the atmosphere/environment that you were enjoying with your friends/collegues/leads. In my point of view, one should only move to another company, if the offering company is giving a good package. 9.Define the following and explain their usefulness: Change Management, Configuration Management, Version Control, and Defect Tracking Configuration Management from the testing point of view is to maintain/update the documents required in Testing. The versions should be given to each document so that you can also let your client know how much changes they have asked after declaring their initial requirements. This will be a proof that the reason the software has not been deployed till the deadline is because of the changes. 10.What is ISO 9003? Why is it important 11. Are reusable test cases a big plus of automated testing and explain why. Ofcourse. They are beneficial. You don’t have to record and run the tests again. Instead, just running the tests will fulfill the requirements. 12.Do you support automated testing? Why? It reduces a hell lot of time for load/stress/volume testing. 13.How important is Change Management in today's computing environments? 14.When is a good time for system testing? When a successful integration test is completed. 15.Tell me about a difficult time you had at work and how you worked through it The initial phase was the difficult part for me. The environment was new. People were using different terms like deployment, build, release, etc. that you haven’t studied or heard in your educational career. 16.one test case tech. Used in black box testing? 17.what kind of testing excersied the internal data structures of a program to assure their validity? 18.the measurement of response time is what type of testing? Load Test to test the system’s response time at peak Stress Test to test at what stage the system’s response time degrades/fails. a)ui b)recovery testing c)functional testing d)performance testing 19. a defect due to a missing function in an application can be uncovered in which type of testing? 20.in the v model integration testing is associated with which part of sdlc? a)requirements b)analysis c)design d) coding 21.the testing effort is planned with the assumption that errors are found .T/F 22.what is defect severity? 23.explain “exhaustive testing is not possible” 24.pareto principle can be applied to software testing? 25.WHAT KIND OF SOFTWARE PERFORMANCE ON BUILD? 26.OUT OF FOLLOWING WHICH WILL GIVE TESTING EFFORT?

1. Testing in lifecycle:Carrying out testing with development and that happens in V-Model. 1. Requirements testing E.g. Model reviews, Prototype walkthrough, review of technical documents 2. Analysis testing e.g. Prove it with code, Testing of HLD 3. Artitecture/Design Testing e.g. Testing of LLD 4. Code Testing e.g.Code Reviews, Coverage Testing 5.Functional Testing 6. System testing 7.Regression Testing 8. User Testing 2. Negative Testing: Terms like "negative test" and "positive test" are more of a concept than a strict activity. In both instances you are dealing with an input, an action, and an output. The action acts upon the input to derive a certain output. testing the application for fail conditions 3.Just dig at interviewer, ask what he meant by a promblem in testing, whether he meant environment promblems, delay in providing code for testing, No Functional Specs for articulation of Test Cases, Higlighted environment promblems to the project manager through higlight report and also with weekly status report or with Daily status report or through mail. 4. QA: It sets the process and also ensures set process is in place --- I like Testing: Following the process --- I consider this as one thing. 5. Supporting the client when they failed to deliver the code on time by working late in the evening and maintaing the process in place to do the testing. 6. BVA (Boudary value Analysis), Error Guessing,Equivalence Partitioning - these are the techniques Methodolgy 1. Define high level test case document against the provided FRS 2. Once above document is frozen 3. Develop the TC for the defined Test Objectives in the Step 1 7.

The testing life cycle can be broadly classified into three different life cycle models depending upon the type of application and the test strategy used such as: • Application Testing Life Cycle • Automation Testing Life Cycle • Package Testing Life Cycle Application Testing life cycle This life cycle is used for standard applications that are built from various custom technologies and follow the normal or standard testing approach. The Application or custom-build Lifecycle and its phases is depicted below: Test Requirements • Requirement Specification documents • Functional Specification documents • Design Specification documents (use cases, etc) • Use case Documents • Test Trace-ability Matrix for identifying Test Coverage Test Planning • Test Scope, Test Environment • Different Test phase and Test Methodologies • Manual and Automation Testing • Defect Mgmt, Configuration Mgmt, Risk Mgmt. Etc • Evaluation & identification – Test, Defect tracking tools Test Environment Setup • Test Bed installation and configuration • Network connectivity’s • All the Software/ tools Installation and configuration • Coordination with Vendors and others Test Design • Test Traceability Matrix and Test coverage • Test Scenarios Identification & Test Case preparation • Test data and Test scripts preparation • Test case reviews and Approval • Base lining under Configuration Management Test Automation • Automation requirement identification • Tool Evaluation and Identification. • Designing or identifying Framework and scripting • Script Integration, Review and Approval • Base lining under Configuration Management Test Execution and Defect Tracking • Executing Test cases • Testing Test Scripts • Capture, review and analyze Test Results • Raised the defects and tracking for its closure Test Reports and Acceptance • Test summary reports • Test Metrics and process Improvements made • Build release • Receiving acceptance Automation Testing life cycle Advantages of this automated software using the above AST life cycle. • High Quality to market • Low Time to market • Reduced testing time • Consistent test procedures • Reduced QA costs • Improved testing productivity • Improved product quality AST Requirements • Requirement / Functional Specification documents • Design Specification documents (use cases, etc) • Test Traceability Matrix for identifying Test Coverage • Functional/ Non-Functional and test data requirements • Test phases to be automated and % of automation AST Planning • Automated Software Testing (AST) Scope • Tool Evaluation and identification • AST Methodologies and Framework • Prepare and Base lining Scripting standard and ASTPlan AST Environment Setup • AST Test Bed installation and configuration • Network connectivity’s • All the Software/ tools Licenses, Installation and configuration • Coordination with Vendors and others AST Design • Test Script and test data preparation • Test scripts / test data review and unit testing • Integration Testing Test scripts and testing • Base lining under Configuration Management AST Execution and Defect Tracking • Executing AST Test Suit • Capture, review and analyze Test Results • Defects reporting and tracking for its closure AST Maintenance Reports and Acceptance • AST Results and summary reports • Test Metrics and process Improvements made • Base lining of AST Test suits/ scripts/ test date etc for maintenance phase • Getting Acceptance Package Testing life cycle Testing life cycle followed for all the packaged applications like Oracle, SAP, Siebel, CRM tools, Supply Chain management applications, etc are detailed in the below diagram. Project Preparation • Identifying the business processes • Organization of the project team • Setting up the communication channel • Kick start the project • Identifying the infrastructure availability • Reporting structure and project co-ordination Business Blueprinting • Requirement Study • Identifying the business rules • Mapping the business processes • Identify the test conditions • Setting up the test environment for the system • Forms the input needed for the configurations Realization • Configuration & Customization • Activating the business rules • Development of certain flows • Identifying certain flows not in the standard • Forming the system configurations • Unit Testing Final Preparation • Uploading the master data • End user training • Simulating all the flows • Tie-up between interfaces • Operational Readiness Testing and UAT • Sign-off Cut over, Go-live and Support • Migrate to new system • Transfer all legacy business applications • Communicate deployment status. • Support new system • Transfer ownership to system owner • Take customer acceptance after production deployment

Testing Life Cycle is a systematic way to generate an output based stages which not only describes the proceudre of the testing, but also gives an exact idea of every stage. For eg: Test Strategy>>> Test Plan >>> Test set >> Test Script>> Test cases so here it clearly shows about the steps by step procedure which can be followed during a testing period.
