The earlier QA gets involved in the software development process, and the greater their presence in this process, the more they will help prevent defects.
QA can review software design documents (cross-functional peer reviews) before software engineers begin developing their code. QA can maintain its presence and continue to offer feedback throughout the development process until the initial release of the program to test.
QA will not prevent defects from occurring, but can minimize the quantity and severity of defects by:
1) Fully understanding the scope of the software development project,
2) Getting involved at the earliest possible stage in the development cycle,
3) Reviewing the project plan for development and offering feedback, and
4) Maintaining a presence in the development process before the first release to test.kurtz182

Prority for Submodule to Test
While testing you came to known that submodule C contains 150% more defects that other 6 modules.Submodule A has 60% lesses bugs that expected.what should be strategy:1.Tester should concentrate more on MODULE C because it has more bugs that other modules.2.tester should concentrate more on MODULE A because it has lesses bugs.3.Tester should executive a few tests for Submodule C.4.This much information...

Bug Fixing Priority
Which of these is the most important one to fix first, and why? a. The word "BlackBerry" is misspelled on the startup screen of the application.b. The application always rejects a user's first attempt to launch the application; subsequent attempts are successful.c. The application crashes and brings down the database server when it tries to add a record that contains an uncommon string, "123abc456xyz789".

Priority will be given based on stage of life cycle,
1) Assume that application is middle stage (I mean to say build is 3rd one and still few more to come) and you are testing the application to accept it (Smoke/sanity Testing) for further testing I would like to give the preference as B, A, C Why I am giving last preference to C is when I am giving uncommon string then the application is getting crash, but as of now we have alternative and that is positive value, so with positive value we can work with the application Next why A is given second preference “black berry” Its company Name, not a simple title of application
And lastly why I am giving first preference to BI am not able to launch the application in first attempt then it is a major issue, while accepting the build (smoke/sanity testing) if you are not able to launch then definitely we will reject the build.
2) Assume application is completed and ready for use, then also I will give B, A, C Let me tell you in general way, Suppose you are a customer and interested to purchase Blackberry mobile and if it is not launching in first attempt, do you purchase that piece, no one will purchase, and coming second one company Label, Company goodwill is linked to it, and with this mistakes goodwill will be degraded so second preference, and coming to last one we have an alternative and that is we can give positive values with which that particular functionality will work Please correct me if I am wrong.

Bug is fixed according to its priority i.e
1) Very High: Immediate fix needed, block further testing.
2) High: Must get fixed before the product is released.
3) Medium: Should fix if time permits.
4) Low: Would like to fix but can be released as it is.Reddy

I hope that the following ans is helpful... 1) In these scenarios first we have to fix B, why because with out lancing of the application we cant do anything. 2) Secondly we have to fix A. why becau...

When requirements are incomplete or unclear, it is a tester's responsiblility to address this issue with business analyst, project manager, developers, or other stakeholders responsible for making changes and ensure that the gap is filled before test execution begins.

Testing Execution without Test Cases
Based on test scenarios is it possible to test execution without having test cases? Explain

- Dec 12th, 2017
Yes we can test the application without having Test cases, it is through Adhoc Testing and Exploratory Testing..But without test cases RTM (Requirement Traceability Matrix) is not possible. So it is always a good practice to write test cases.

Test execution without test cases is called 'Exploratory Testing' and 'Ad-hoc Testing'. 'Exploratory Testing' is described as a simultaneous learning, test design, and te...

there are 10 test cases, in that 5 fail and 5 pass after fixing the bugs will we go for the recycle or continue with the cycle

The answer to this question depends on whether or not we have met our exit criteria. If our exit criteria has been met, perhaps it was a mistake to even fix the defects. How much resources...

After fixing the bugs we must go for unit regression testing bcause whether the rectified part cause any errors in the un-tested part. so we must go for re-testing after that only we will continue.
