1]High Severity And Low Priority----If  there is an application , if that application crashes after mulple use of any functionality (exa--save Button use 200 times then that application will crash)

Means High Severity because application chrashed but Low Priority because no need to debug right now you can debug it after some days.

2]High Priority And Low Severity---- If any Web site say "Yahoo" now if the logo of site "Yahoo" spell s "Yho"  ----Than Priority is high but severity is low.

Because it effect the name of site so important to do quick ---Priority

but it is not going to crash because of spell chage so severity low.

HI

There is no tool to calculate the estimates, it can be give depends on exp only or else by doing some metrics we can do it.

And Microsoft Project Plan is not for calculating the time, it's just for scheduling the tasks once estimations were given.

How much time is/should be alloated for testing out of total development time based on industry standards?

Asked By: Interview Candidate | Asked On: Aug 31st, 2005

Answered by: rohan.satpute on: Feb 6th, 2011

It depends upon following Factors:
1. Type of Project/Delieverable.
2. Scope of Testing.
3. Types of Testing to be Performed.

Testing can vary for 30%-50% of total Development Time. I have considered the case of Manual Tesing here. Automation can reduce the end delieverable timelines.

Answered by: kurtz182 on: Dec 16th, 2009

The answer to this question depends on the industry, software development model, company, and project.  In my company and on most my projects, we allocate roughly 35 percent of total development resources on our test effort.

In any phase, the sooner we see a defect, the less is the cost spent on rectifying the defect. It becomes a costlier affair in later stages. The best phase is Requirements phase. When the defect is found in later phases, it costs more for its correction.

Answered by: rohan.satpute on: Feb 6th, 2011

As we are aware, in SDLC later the defects identified, costlier is the Project Delieverable.  Earlier the defect identified & resolved, cheaper is the costing. So, as per the provided option, Best time to resolve the defects is during the Requirement Phase.

The main purpose of Software testing, I think is not to remove the bug but to find the bug. Also ensuring the application works correctly as per the requirements and thereby increasing the quality of the product and increasing the confidence in the product.

Answered by: manchoc on: Feb 18th, 2011

Its Quality. Testing is a Quality Control (QC) activity. Software testing is the process of finding the defects so as to improve the quality of software. It doesnt mean that the software is 100% defect free but the quality will be high after validating when compared before testing.
