Bug Tracking Interview Questions

In Summary report we also need to mention the details of functionality (that is new or existing features). Platforms on which testing is being carried on. Platforms may include hardware and software ...

Test summary report gives the status of Testing that we have done on a build that might be since last release or since last week. Test summary report contains information like Build release Nu...

Bug means tester identify the defects but that defect developers are accepted is calling bug (or) when the software released in the market customer identify the defects its also calling Bug.

I am not satisfy with above definition . As I have knowledge "Bug" : when we execute a set of inputs and product does not behave as per the requirement that is call bug . "Defect" : Deviation between the expected out out and in actual out put is know as defect .

The bug exist in application from long time that kind of bug is called latent bug.

It will affect later when the condition or testing environment will change .

Bug density is Number of bugs found per module or in project.

-> Shows the defect directly and ask the reason for rejection, If we get satisfied reply the testers can close the bug other wise will Reopen and Reassign the bug to corresponding Project leader

1.if the T.E understand the req wrongly and have this issue is communicated with dev.team ex:the req is 1+1=2 but the t.e understand 1+1=11. 2. if the dev understand the req(defect) wrongly and hav...

1.Posted Bug with status Open
2. Retest wen got fixed report from dev.
3. If the bug fixed ->Closed
4. Else Reopen and retest again and again untill it become closed

It is the process of fixing the bugs which tester or any of the team member found in the development phase,

Priority means urgency to fix defect (As business affected) Severity means Impact of defect in other functionality (Functional impact) Lets see an example: If there is spell mistake in name of any we...

Yes definitely if the bug is of high severity it needs to be fixed even if has low priority if the end user will find it will cost huge for company and can also effect on company status

Use Case :use case is a document which explains the purpose and use of a particular functionality in the way the end user use the functionality in business. Test Case :Test cases are the set of cond...

Usecase: Usecase is prepared by BA in the Functional Requirement Specification (FRS) which are nothing but a steps which are given by the customer.TestCase: It is prepared by the Test Engineer based o...

First of all we should not raise the defects again, which already raised by other tester. Before raising any defect we should check other defects in that particular module, release is any other tester...

Before submitting the bug in defect tracking tool, check the whether same defect is submitted other person in defect tracking tool ,this is one way of remove duplicate bugs or Before submitting t...

When we are working on new functionality of the application, obviously we will get more defects. We can't say particularly these many numbers, that depends on developers and complexity of the project,...

It is very common question that Interviewer can ask..before answer to this question we should clarify what type of defects that interviewer asking? defects can be product defects and process defects t...

Duplicate bug -> is that bug which has already been reported and functionality is same as the reported one.
but sometimes developer also treat the bug occurred in different scenarios as duplicate bug, but it is different because there steps reproduction is different.

Hi Duplicate bug can be termed as following issues: *It can be like same defect we found in different scenario or attempt and reporting them in the bug tracking tool with different bug id.It might c...

Bug: Bug is a fault in a program or application which is found when the actual result diverts from the expected result.

Defect: A flaw in a component or system which causes the component or system to fail to perform its required function. e.g. an incorrect statement or data definition.

Logically both are same.

Review the bug to see the root cause. Then, plan and do preventive action.

Review and analyze that bug. If testers are missing, we should consider what is the gap and see how to prevent it.

It is adoc ensure that each and every low level req holds a minimum of at least one single test case

The flow of Traceability Matrix

s.no->Module name->high level req->low level req->req id->date of creation->revised by->test cases->author name->attachments->test scripts->defects

We can trace the bugs using above said ways, but most of the cases we followed the test case document ie just leave all the cases which are passed, logged the defects which are failed.

The defect status are: '->WILL N'T TO BE FIX ' '->DEFFERED '->DUPLICATE '->RFE NEW '->ASSIGNED--->FIXED->CLOSE/REOPEN '->REJECT '->NEED MORE INFO ...

Status:
1. new bug
2. open bug
3. review bug.
4. not bug (.close bug)
5. Duplicate bug (.close bug)
6. Not important(.deferred)
7. is it bug. (.assigned to developer)
8.retest
9. Close.

Welcome to Agile testing!

/sorry you are throwing different things into the mix - test cases, bugs. Can you be more elaborate and clear so that other people who are interested in knowing the question and answers can understand things clearly.
