QA Testing Questions

EX:

- High Priority and Low Severity:

Company logo is not properly displayed on their website.

- High Priority and High Severity:

Suppose you are doing online shopping and filled payment information, but after submitting the form, you get a message like "Order has been cancelled."

- Low Priority and High Severity:

If we have a typical scenario in which the application get crashed, but that scenario exists rarely.

- Low Priority and Low Severity:

There is a mistake like "You have registered success" instead of successfully, success is written.

ilk Test is a Functional testing tool product of Seague software. It uses the language called 4GL(fourth Generation Language).

It has 2 components,
Silk Test Agent - Run on remote machine
Silk Test Host - Creating, Modifying, Viewing the scripts

Uses of Silk Test tool:

1. It’s a tool developed for performing the regression and functionality testing of the application.
2. It benefits when we are testing Window based, Java, the web, and the traditional client/server applications.
3. Silk Test help in preparing the test plan and managing them to provide the direct accessing of the database and validation of the field.

The Bug Tracking System role is discussed below:

- Testers and developers can know the status of the bug at every stage.

- Changes to the Status will be available to all team members.

- Developers and Testers can easily interact with bugs.

- Repetition of bugs will be avoided.

- Easy to distribute the bug among the developer.

- It will act as a centralized one for defects.

Quality Assurance (QA): QA refers to the planned and systematic way of monitoring the quality of process which is followed to produce a quality product. QA tracks the outcomes and adjusts the process to meet the expectation.

Quality Control (QC): Concern with the quality of the product. QC finds the defects and suggests improvements. The process set by QA is implemented by QC. The QC is the responsibility of the tester.

Software Testing: is the process of ensuring that product which is developed by the developer meets the user requirement. The motive to perform testing is to find the bugs and make sure that they get fixed.

Requirements tracing, a process of documenting the links between the requirements and the work products developed to implement and verify those requirements. Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) is a document which records the mapping between the high-level requirements and the test cases in the form of a table. The RTM captures all requirements and their traceability in a single document delivered at the conclusion of the life cycle. 

That’s how it ensures that the Test Plan covers all the requirements and links to their latest version.

TDD is an acronym for Test-Driven Development. TDD is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: first the developer writes an (initially failing) automated test case that defines a desired improvement or new function, then produces the minimum amount of code to pass that test.

TDD is an iterative software development process where you first write the test with the idea that it must fail.

This is a different approach to the traditional development where you write the application functionality first andthen write test cases. The major benefit of this approach is that the code becomes thoroughly unit tested (you canuse JUnit or other unit testing frameworks).

In GUI testing, need to cover the customer requirement if don't have to validate  Font size, colors, spellings(labels) etc.

Every application should follow Microsoft rules like

- Controls should be Initcap (i.e every label should start with Capital letter )Can observe that in Win applications every label starts with Caps

- OK or Cancel button should exist

- Controls should not be overlapped

- Controls should be alligned properly (left side alignment is mandatory but the right side is optional)

- Controls should be visible

- Short cut keys should be provided

- System menu should exist (i.e if u press Alt key + Space bar a menu will appear at the left most corner )

- Mouse pointer events 

Colors, Label Names, Tab Order, Alignment, graphs , Navigation of the software to test in GUI Testing.

Parallel/audit testing is testing where the user reconciles the output of the new system to the output of the current system to verify the new system performs the operations correctly. Let us say, for example, the currently software is in the mainframe system which calculates the interest rate. The company wants to change this mainframe system to web-based application. While testing the new web based application, we need to verify that the web-based application calculates the same interest rate. This is parallel testing.
