What is FRD here ???
You report your findings to all internal project stakeholders - BA/ PM etc. You will not get involved with the client directly as there will be internal projects stake holders stationed to speak to the client.
Static testing is review the document before writing test cases. So if any functionality is not clear than document that in the defect report. Because earlier the defect is find out it is less costly.
You must make sure that the defect is already logged or not. If it was logged, what is the status of the defect ? If it was logged & closed then what are the comments made against defect. Then you can make a decision on that defect.
What sort of severity you will give for this defect?
There is a result table grid, which displays the results up on the search. In which 4 columns(a,b,c,d) have sorting feature.While execution you found that another column(e) is also having the sorting feature.

This will be a defect of high severity as the page is hanging up and the user cannot progress further.

The obvious answer is when a particular functionality does not work,then it becomes a functional defect. For eg. When a wrong date can be entered for eg.when only today's date can be entered and system allows to enter any past or future date,then is is a functional defect. Another example would be when the system crashes (a show stopper) that would be a functional bug.
@sarega99: Are there any bugs which are very typical to a .net application.
The answers are very generalized and can be applied to any application.
Yes, if any functionality doesn't work at all we can say..it is a functional defect.

Automated testing is best performed:
1) When a product has enough value to a company to warrant it
2) When a product has a long enough life cycle to warrant it
3) When it directly helps your project's speed, coverage, risk mitigation and development nimbleness
4) When it is relatively simple to implement
5) When requirements are stable and not apt to change
6) On components that are mission-critical
7) On components that have failed and are apt to fail again
8) On components that are self-contained
9) On components that are scriptable

Recovery testing is the forced failure of an application to determine whether it can recover without impaired functionality or data loss. The breadth and depth of recovery testing depends on the mission-critical nature of the application.
Some examples are:
1) Take a database down while an application is sending transactions and then bring the database back up again. Verify there is no loss of data and that the application resumes in a way that users will know how to proceed.
2) While an application is running, restart the computer and validate there is no data loss and that users can proceed without negative side effects.
3) While application is receiving data over a network, unplug and reinsert the network cable to validate the application's ability to continue receiving without loss of data.
4) Restart the computer while a browser has a number of sessions running simultaneously and then determine if the browser is able to recover all of them.

In my view, scripted testing might be referring to automation testing. This mean you are writing a script (Perl, Java etc) to test you feature, instead of carrying out test on the product manually.

The only reasonable answer is D) Users cannot test software effectively.
Users typically test a system during the Beta release of a product. Though companies should not rely only on this type of testing, it is useful in uncovering defects at little cost to the company. Throughout this period, users perform their day-to-day activities and are not thinking about product quality. They rarely if ever scan the user manual looking for situations of interest to test, so the answer is not A). They generally don't dream up situations randomly to visit all of the features of the system, so the answer is also not B). They don't have access to the company's business processes, so the answer is not C).

Of course, the answer to this question depends on time, budget, and resources. Generally, this is how I would begin: I would evaluate QA processes based on past experience and the feedback that I've received from others (ex: Post Mortem - lessons learned). Then I would select projects that are feasible and will return the greatest value for our effort and focus my attention on them.

At any level the present practise/process to be analysed and effective practices retained and overheads removed. If found any gaps inthe form of repeted defects try to define a set of procedure/process

There are many possiblilites of Non testable requirements, to ensure the verification process, analysis has to be carried out, like code inspection, or walkthrough and manual testing.
Why are the remaining 5 CRs untestable? Is it because the test environment is not set up to properly test them? If so, the most reliable way to ensure the CRs are properly implemented would be to verify this in the production environment.

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.Â
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. Â
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.

In every test cycle, the defect is consistently 'Ignored' by the developer and 'Re-Opened' by the tester. This problem exists due to a miscommunication somewhere. What will you do as a tester to rectify this issue?
1) I would first make sure that I have entered accurate and thorough details in the defect report in order for the developer to reproduce the issue. I would include details about the test environment so the developer can duplicate it. I would also include screen shots to prove the defect does indeed exist.
If the developer 'Ignores' this, then s/he obviously believes there is no defect at all and that the application's functionality is working precisely as it is supposed to.
2) Next, I would cite the requirement in the defect report and describe my interpretation of it. Then I would describe how the existing functionality does not meet the intended requirement.
If the developer 'Ignores' this as well, then I begin to consider whether I have misinterpreted the requirement. It is possible that the developer is correct.
3) I would revisit and study the requirement to determine whether I misunderstood it when creating my test case(s). If necessary, I would meet with the Business Analyst to gain further understanding about the requirement. I would discuss my test case and the defect with the Business Analyst to determine whether my understanding and approach is correct.
If my research convinces me that I have fully understood the requirement and that my test case accurately and thoroughly tests it, then I would meet with the developer and discuss the results of my investigation with him/her. I would explain the requirement in the manner intended by the Business Analyst. I would reproduce
the issue in an attempt to prove how the defect fails to satisfy the requirement. Hopefully, the developer will be encouraged to fix the defect.
If the developer continues to 'Ignore' this issue, then I will get the Business Analyst involved.
4) I would set up a meeting with the developer, Business Analyst, and myself in attendance. I would encourage the Business Analyst to explain the requirement to the developer and explain how the test case and its results properly exercise the requirement and identify a failure.
If the developer still 'ignores' this issue, perhaps it is time to replace the developer!
To be very simple, tester should specify the functional document(FD) which tells the exact functionaly of the piece of code and explains how it deviate from the requirement which lead to a creation of...

1) I would ask the developer to identify precisely what bugs I missed.
2) I would the review the list of bugs in the build notes and compare this with the suite of test cases that I had run during the test cycle.
3) If this is not the release build, then I would add test cases for the missed bugs in the suite of test cases for the next test iteration
4) If this is the release candidate, then I would immediately raise this issue with management and let them decide how to proceed based on the bugs' priority and severity levels.
