RE: hiI need answers for these questions

1) QTP/Winrunner2)Automation testing tool was used for Regression Testing.3) Unable to understand custom object then we have to map that object to standard object.4) Learn the application - Record the script - Edit script with checkpoints - Run Script - Analyze result.5) Yes Automated test can be repeated any number of times eliminating human errors.6) Testing the application with different sets of data is called Data-Driven test. If we automate the test while running it will automatically pick the data from the table and insert in the applicaion fields.7)Attributes of test automation:Speed Accuracy Efficiency Data Driven Testing Relentlessness.8) Automation replace manual testing to some extent but not completely. For example if you have to test the application on different OS/Hardware like printers etc then you have to do it manually.9) For Load Testing we will use Loadrunner. For .net XML web application QTP is better. For SAP/Client-Server application Winrunner is good.

RE: hiI need answers for these questions

11) Can be repeatable free from human error relentlessnes fast. 13) Testing activities includes: Analyze the Business requirement Create Test Scenario and Test Cases Test the application Report Bugs Track bugs untill they are fixed. 14) Testing activities that are repeatable in nature can be automated for example Data Driven Testing . 15) When the application is not stable and it changes very frequently then we can automate our test. 17) Principle if good testing script : if there is a change in one part of the application you don't need to record the whole script again for example use shared Objet Repository in QTP OR Global GUI map in Winrunner. 18) Test Director. 19) Yes Test case creating activity can be automated I didn't remember the tool name but in that you can create test cases automatically through mapping it with the Requirements. 20) You cannot automate testing your application for tasks like printing with different printers or Fax. 21) Out of Box Thinking Work to break attitude good communication and good at using tools. 23) Object not found If the database link is broken then test will fail and test run will be left incomplete..

RE: hiI need answers for these questions

Hi Gilbert I don't think for Manual testing ewe need any Testing Tool. Manual testing means testing you do manually so for this we only need Web Browser if the application is web based and Server/Workstation for Client server application.

RE: hiI need answers for these questions

I had several problems working with test automation tools like

a. Tools Limitations for Object Detections

b. Tools Configuration / Deployment in various Environments

c. Tools Precision / Default Skeleton Script Issues like window synchronization issues etc.

d. Tools bugs with respect to exception handling.

e. Tools abnormal polymorphism in behavior like sometimes it works but sometimes not for the same application / same script/same environment etc.

RE: hiI need answers for these questions

Hi Aparna For question number 2 I would like to correct my previous answer and I do not agree with yours answer too.Automation testin and Regression testing both are absolutely different from each other. Regression testing means:::Re-Testing the application after a bug is fixed or new functionality is added to check that previous functionality is not affected with the new changes. And this re testing can be done manually also. ....... In automation testing we run our existing script with different sets of data to make sure that application works fine with different data enetered in the application....Please correct me if i am wrong but i have gone through many websites to know aboout regression testing it didn't say anywhere that regression testing is automating test after bug is fixed.

RE: hiI need answers for these questions

Hi Nik

This is regarding ur answer for Q19 u've told in this that - "I didn't remember the tool name but in that you can create test cases automatically through mapping it with the Requirements. " is that u are taking here about "Test Director".

I know that in test director by manually typing we can create the test cases & test suites but u are telling that ("Yes Test case creating activity can be automated") we can automate the test case creating activity can u plz let how it is possible & which tool we need to use for this?

Thanks & Regards
Sameera
