SOFTWARE TESTING INTERVIEW QUESTIONS-06

What is the difference between Testing Techniques and Testing Tools?
Testing technique: – Is a process for ensuring that some aspects of the application system or unit functions properly there may be few techniques but many tools.
Testing Tools: – Is a vehicle for performing a test process. The tool is a resource to the tester, but itself is insufficient to conduct testing

We use the output of the requirement analysis, the requirement specification as the input for writing …
User Acceptance Test Cases

Repeated Testing of an already tested program, after modification, to discover any defects introduced or uncovered as a result of the changes in the software being tested or in another related or unrelated software component:
Regression Testing

What is component testing ?
Component testing, also known as unit, module and program testing, searches for defects in, and verifies the functioning of software (e.g. modules, programs, objects, classes, etc.) that are separately testable. Component testing may be done in isolation from the rest of the system depend-ing on the context of the development life cycle and the system. Most often stubs and drivers are used to replace the missing software and simulate the interface between the software components in a simple manner. A stub is called from the software component to be tested; a driver calls a component to be tested.

What is functional system testing ?
Testing the end to end functionality of the system as a whole.

What is the benefits of Independent Testing
Independent testers see other and different defects and are unbiased.

In a REACTIVE approach to testing when would you expect the bulk of the test design work to be begun?
After the software or system has been produced.

What are the different Methodologies in Agile Development Model?
There are currently seven different Agile methodologies that I am aware of:
 Extreme Programming (XP)
 Scrum
 Lean Software Development
 Feature-Driven Development
 Agile Unified Process
 Crystal
 Dynamic Systems Development Model (DSDM)

Which activity in the fundamental test process includes evaluation of the testability of the requirements and system?
A Test analysis and design.

What is typically the MOST important reason to use risk to drive testing efforts?
  Because testing everything is not feasible.

Which is the MOST important advantage of independence in testing?
An independent tester may be more effective at finding defects missed by the person who wrote the software.

Which of the following are valid objectives for incident reports?
i. Provide developers and other parties with feedback about the problem to enable identification, isolation and correction as necessary.
ii. Provide ideas for test process improvement.
iii. Provide a vehicle for assessing tester competence.
iv. Provide testers with a means of tracking the quality of the system under test.

ii.Provide ideas for test process improvement,
iv.Provide testers with a means of tracking the quality of the system under test



Consider the following techniques. Which are static and which are dynamic techniques?
i. Equivalence Partitioning.
ii. Use Case Testing.
iii.Data Flow Analysis.
iv.Exploratory Testing.
v. Decision Testing.
vi. Inspections.
Data Flow Analysis and Inspections are static
Equivalence Partitioning, Use Case Testing, Exploratory Testing and Decision Testing are dynamic.

Why are static testing and dynamic testing described as complementary?
Because they share the aim of identifying defects but differ in the types of defect they find.

What are the phases of a formal review ?
In contrast to informal reviews, formal reviews follow a formal process. A typical formal review process consists of six main steps:
 Planning
 Kick-off
 Preparation
 Review meeting
 Rework
 Follow-up.
