Testing Tools Interview Questions and Faqs

retesting means simply testing the entire app either before finding bug or after fixing the bug

but in regression testing we will check the impact of that bug on remaining parts while fixing I.e whether it has caused any effect to remaining parts of the application

It is a type of testing in which one will perform testing on the same fuctionality again and again with multiple sets of data in order to come to a conclusion whether it is working fine or not.

Enterprise Web Test is open source function testing tool

there are many open source testing tools like Watir, Selenium and Sahi etc. evaluate each one of them and use the tool you are comfortable with.

When the Testers are logging a bug and when the developers are explaining that the bug is reproduceable ,because the developers are changing their code dynamically. So the QA testers are not able to reproduce the mentioned bug.
Due to environment issue also the bug is not able to reproduce.,

i agree with you

and we have another better way is by using web x then share your desktop and show your your SRS document and explain the functionality what you follow.then he should agree with your defect.

By Selenium Data driven we can test multiple users login.

There are many automation tools to test multiple users login.
Multiple users login is nothing but a form of load testing.
JMeter tool is one example which helps to do load testing.

Regression testing helps to overcome any bugs is present in the Software.It is used to identify all modules are working fine without any defects.
Regression testing usually carried out at the end of product release.

Whenever any modifications or enhancements are made to already tested application at that time we are going to test the modified or enhanced features first and then existing one. Why again we are goi...

Thread testing means Multiple users are testing simultaneously.Thread testing can be defined as number of users ,number of load and loop count.

I think it is a process of multiuser testing a work at a time

Software testing tools support for Time consumption and we can ensure efficiency of the product level from the customer point of view.

Computer aided software testing tools support test management to define what to test, how to test, when to test and what happened, it reduces time, requires less man power and it also provides testing statistics for management reporting.

QTP is refereed to as an Unicode complaint because it is recognizable with the unicode character set across various applications and it is supported only by the internet explorer.

QTP is reffered to as Unicode Complaint, because it is not browser compatable. It's only supported by IE Browser. And more over some components are not able to record.

MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failures.MTBF tells us the most frequent failures within a process.It is the sum of the operational periods divided by the number of observed failures.

MTBF means mean time between failures.failure--------------------repair--------------------failure<------MTTR---------------><-----MTTF-----------------><--------------------------MTBF-...

The main difference between QTP and RFT

QTP uses VB script, RFT uses Java or .Net script
QTP user friendly, RFT not that much user friendly

QTP is a Mercury product and RFT is IBM product.The basic difference is that, in RFT we can use Javascript and in QTP we cant use the Javascript.Ofcourse, VB scripting can be used in both of the tools...

There are three methods of testing (a) Black-Box Testing (b) White-Box Testing (a)Grey-Box Testing (a) Black-Box Testing: If one performs testing only on the functional part of an application with ...

Hi, It checks that the software produces correct result or not by comparing what the software is producing and what it should actually produce. Test comparator tool helps in automating the comparison...

A Test Comparator is a test tool that compares the actual outputs produced by the software under test with the expected outputs for that test case. 

The answer is 1. Compare expected and actual results.

The purpose of this task is to run the system with existing test cases that were retained from the system tests. The reasoning is that if the test data are held constant and something does not work, i...

Progression Testing is nothing but, test the application with Old Test Data.Progression tests used in the current release would roll into regression tests for future releases.The purpose of this task ...

This is a very commonly encountered scenario.Checkpoints in QTP are just the validation points or a sort of If Then type conditional validation to verify if the expected result and actual result are i...

Checkpoints allow you to compare the current behavior of the application being tested to its behavior in an earlier version. And we have 4 type of check points in WR

Place cursor at respective position and press F9(Breakpoint).
msgbox also can be used

messagebox is one solution for waiting

Defects are re-tested in order to validate they are fixed.  A defect report should always include the precise steps to reproduce the issue.  Therefore, you would follow t...

Retesting is very important to verify the bug in the build is closed or not. Its must important to check that the Opened bugs fixed correctly. this can be done through by retesting. Once the status is...

Equivalence Class Partitioning:  This method is used to reduce the number of tests necessary to adequately test something.  For example, a text box accepts integers from 0 to 1000.  I c...

Following are the different techinques to follow while conducting testing
1)Error guessing
2)Equivalnce class partician
3)Boundary value analysis
4)-ve testing
5)Complete test coverage grip on the product

Two Same objects have the same naming. Which is not defined in the GUI Map Editor.

We have to identify the parent function references in the object repository to rectify this problem.We may be missed the parent properties while recording bcz of this only we may get the above mentioned error while playing back teh script.

The first and fourth point could be easily covered through the automation process using any of the functional tool which is compatible with the application to be tested.Regarding the GUI testing of bi...
