Test scenario is top view of functionality under test in Test scenario what to test the application,test scenarios identifies cover for all test are completed.
Test Cases is define how to test the application, here we are check happy path negative path, alternate. -
Co-existence Testing
What is co-existence testing? Why do we do it? What would be the passing criteria for a successful co-existence? Any sample application where you feel we require this kind of testing?

Coexistence testing involves the working of application, on different hardware & software configurations. It checks the performance of the application with different combinations of different types of resources.
Compatibility testing checks if the two systems or two different resources are able to exchange the information successfully when an application is implemented or installed. This testing is usually performed when an already existing program is replaced with a new application.Surendra

Please help.kurtz182

How will you select a models (like spiral, v-model) for a particular project?

Editorial / Best Answer
Amit k Garg- Member Since May-2009 | May 4th, 2009
It depends on origination then type of project, time frame and money.
Example:
If project requirements are clear and fixed then we can use water fall or V-Model.
If creating a new project on basis of existing project with some additional features, in new language, different UI like these thinks, then we should prefer water fall.
If requirements are not clear and client is also not clear that what he is expecting then we should go through prototype model.
If you dont have all requirements but you need to start project then you should prefer Spiral Model.kurtz182

The software development model (spiral, v-model and waterfall) chosen in an organization depends on organization budget, size, resources and the time allotted for development.

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.

You guys are confusing Web Services with Web application. Web Services are quite different to web applications.
Web Services are API's that can be accessed over a network and executed on a remote server hosting the requested services.
It refers to those services that use SOAP formatted XML envelopes and have their interfaces described by a WSDL.srinivasulub1981

Best to solve defects - requirements, plan, design, code / testing phase?

- Oct 4th, 2005
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.

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.

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

it is not just the developer OR the Tester is responsible for integration testing, Both of them are equally responsible according to their responsibilities. The developer who writes the code is responsible for performing the integration of modules w.r.t. code ( should be understood as part White Box Testing ) Then after checking the modules for their integration it will be passed on to the Q.A. team, Here it will be the responsibility of the Q.A. team to check the integration b/w the modules according to the requirement specifications.
