according to me following things could be tested:

  1.  Capacity of the lift
  2.  usability (whether its easy to operate or not)
  3.  Functionality( whether it functions properly or not)
  4.  comfort (whether a person is comfortable in it or not)
  5.  height
  6.  weight
  7. volume
  8. time it takes to reach every floor
  9. test for maximum capacity of the lift
  10. test for more than max capacity
  11. check the working in case of a power failure

i think the answer given is wrong. when ever this question asked by the interviewer, we should ask first for the requirements, and what type of lift it is etc. Don't try to answer very fast. A real test engineer could not write testcase without requirements.

pl reply this

Hi Shreekanth,

             For practical pusposes, its fine to ask the requirements, but in an interview we r not suppossed to ask questions instead we have to reply depending upon what we feel the requirements would be . And let me tell u that its not possible to get a requirements document for each and every system in detail in practical life also. we have to follow some standards by our  own. By asking thie above sort of question, the interviewer  wants to know in how many possible directions we could think of if given a system in general. He doesnt mean that we really have to write the test cases with accurate process as far as the above question is considered.

     This is what I feel. People and opinions could differ.

Hi Sreekant,

Yes, when a senario is given to us i think it would be most appropriate to ask the Interviewr what is he expecting? This would actually show our attitude towards testing.

The lift could be tested for various issues.

1) Usability:

- whether it can be entered, exited easily

- is the door height appropriate.

- is there enough of space in the lift to accomodate the people as described in its requirements. ex: the lift is designed for 5 ppl & the space in the lift is just enough for 3 ppl to squeeze in.

- are the buttons to present & at visible place.

- How easy is it to operate the lift. etc

2) Functionality:

- Does the lift move on to the right floor. ex. if a person presses 2nd floor he should land on the 2nd floor not on the 4th.

- What speed is the lift moving at.

- Is the landing, taking off appropriate.

- Does it land at the right floor when a lift is called.

- Does it take the weight as per it is designed.

- Does it move as sequenced. ie if a call is made to the lift from the 5th floor while the lift is on the 3rd floor & is already moving downwards towards ground. If the lift would go down or up.

Joshna
