It can be performed without any pre defined steps.

It depends on the bug type.
Like Sev1 means most of the business is loss because of this bug.
Fixing time may be less but damage is huge. So we cannot estimate the cost per bug in Production. It depends on time to time.

HI

I feel it's depends on the strength  of the bug and strength of application, if application is big and flound so many issues, then we cant expect the time, some times they need to do the dev from scratch...  so it's all depends.

CNU

HI

The ans is :  A) The requirements/specifications are unclear.

HI

No doubt, the ans is : B) The last time we ran the test it found a fault.


Retesting is nothing but verifying the bug which was found in earlier testing round, is still exists in currect build.


CNU

HI


I feel both B, C are correct, but not suree..

B. To show that a system does not work.

This we have to shown to devs or leads after finding the issues

C. To detect faults in the system.

This is noting but to find out the issues.

HI

I feel it's due to poor quality, here the issue may come due to poor sw, but finding the issues is the major responcibility of a tester than dev team, but there that option was not there, so i can to the option B is correct, poor software and poor testing

CNU

Faults found by users in production are due to:

The best answer is B) poor software and poor testing

A) is true, but not as complete as B)

D) may also be true, but not as complete as B)

E) is obviously false because quality has nothing to do with luck

I still cannot understand why people are willing to waste time in posting already answered questions? Can you please use the search feature in this site and save everyone's time including yours? This does really anger a lot of people FYI

Here i think delay is due to net work not due to the software, so reasos of delay is not only due to heavy traffic but also due to the result of changing the routes. SO i can try to correct that route changes.

if the delay time is more, tester should ensure that on what basis and situation made for  this delay. Identify the Peak time and the scenerios and resolve the issues through Performance Tuning.

As a tester I wont be able to answer this question... You can approach a developer/programmers team to get the answer....

The function of tester is just to test the application for bugs and report the bugs and he is not concerned with the bug fixing techniques....

I feel Domain knowledge plays a vital role while testing the application, in financial apps  we can have these thing

-> basic idea of accounts
-> Who are the stake holders
-> What they r expecting
-> their general activities etc

CNU

to test any project fist you should have knowledge of that field. If you are going to test a financial project use adhoc testing first because generally it contains so much calculation.

Hi

Problem: Nothing but some difficult work to do.

Issue: It may be a bug, task, missing features.

defect: If tester found some issue then he will logged as a defect

Bug: After loggind the defect by tester, TL need to review it and approve if it's really an issue, this is called as Bug

Project: Developed to a specific client with specific solutions

Tester should have a idea of who are using the application and they are expecting the from the application, and application should passed in Gloabalization testing etc

For it best example is Miscrosoft word is software application(user requirement) and Oracle apps is software product(its a overall requirement in market).

If you have any further calrification let me know.

One problem which is faced mostly is compatibility with Different Browsers. some time one website work properly in one browser but it show errors while operate on differnt browser. this is compatibilty bug.

It depends on the integration testing you are referring to.  Nevertheless, white box testing is the most obvious answer.  Therefore, I select:

 The main features are Design, navigations, GUI,etc.. as we can easily identified the problems by seeing prototype. This is also a successful method in SDLC.

There is static testing and dynamic testing.  Functional testing is a facet of dynamic testing.

Hi

We will delivered below docs.

The standard deliverables after completing testing:

Test Trace-ability Matrix, Test Plan, Testing Strategy, Test Cases, Test Scenarios, Test Scripts, Test Data, Test Results, Test Summary Report, Release Notes, Tested Build.

Tracebility Matrix: It's shows the relation between the test cases and requirements.

It will prepared by the test engineer after preparing the test cases or before test cases, ie he may include the test cases later.

Yes it is a high priority bug, it might be due to not availablity of page or wrong URL or authentication problem
 

By Sure. It is a Bug and its Priority is "High". Whatever event if the other components does not support it should display atleast alert message not an "Page cannot found" message. There is a Showstopper in this, so it should be fix first.

1. Authorization
2. Cross Site Scripting
3. Vulnerabilities
4. SQL Injection
5. CGI Parameters
6. Server Side Validation
7. Cokkie validation

Tester can do the below security check on the web site other than login/password screens.


1. XSS
2. SQL Injection
3. Hidden fields
4. CGI parameters
5. URL JUming

We have to write the test cases for below types of testings.
1. GUI
2. Functional
3. Security
4. Content
5. Globalization
6. Load, Performance

For Writing test cases for Web interface testing u can consider many things like ,Usability,GUI,Content proofing,security,different web browsers and different versions of the same browser,Authorization,Authentication.

In Adhoc testing is randomly testing, in this tester will decide expected result directly from requirements.
Adhoc testing is doing without testcases.
Difference between Adhoc testing is doing with experience
and exploratory testing is doing without knowledge.

It is the practice of running tests outside of documented test scenarios and test cases. Ad hoc testing is usually performed when a perceived defect is discovered or suspected and there are no documented test cases that would test that possible defect.

A smoke test is a series of test cases that are run prior to commencing with full-scale testing of an application. The idea is to test the high-level features of the application to ensure that the es...

Hi CAn you please explain the major difference between these two REGRESSION TESTING & FUNCTIONAL TESTING,RegardsMurali

Hi, Exploratory testing is done only by based previous experience.Using ur experience in testing finding out bugs.

HI

Adhoc testing and Exploratory testing are as same with a small diff.

Exploratory: Without requirement docs, without functional knowledge one

can perform testing on a application is called Explolatory.

But in Adhoc testing, Req docs are available.
