Thread: testing

can you tell me the critical defect that you found in your project?

Hi devic8.

A Critical defect could be any defect which seriously impacts the applcations in terms of -
1) Functional Flow
2) Impacts the Business
3) Violates Business rules resulting in wrong calculations

Basically critical defects found could defer application to application.

Example of Critical defect
Let us say for instance testing a Banking application.

Specification : Every account type in a Bank - Saving, Current, Loan etc has a Ledger Head associated with it. Whenever you update an individual account balance with either Cash Deposit or Cash Withdrawal, the corresponding Ledger head also has to get updated. This could happen immediately or at day End. Closing Balances would be reflected in Trial Balance.

Testcase : Creating a New Account Type. Adding Account numbers under the newly created account type. Creating a Ledger Head for the newly created Account type.

Critical Defect : Whenever you carry out transactions in the newly created Account Type, individual account balances get updated, but the General Ledger head does not get updated.

This is a critical defect as it could lead to a mismatch in trial Balance, P&L a/c and lead to Cash Balances mismatch thus affecting Business.

You can find many such instances....

Cheers.....

can you explain me in web based project with example?

Hi devic8,

Well if it is a web-based application example that you want, here goes -

Let us take our Railway system site IRCTC.

Specification - Select the Journey Dates, enter the desired Train and proceed to confirm booking. Once booked, ticket should be displayed under "Booked Tickets" header.

Testcase : User enters Journey Details, selects Train number, enters number of passengers. Proceeds ahead to Credit card info page. Enters credit card info and transaction proceeds through Internet gateway. But unfortunately system displays session timeout message after specified period. It should actually have displayed a Success Page.

Defect : User navigates to "Booked Tickets" link and does not find the currently booked ticket listed. Checks his A/c balance and finds the specified amount deducted from his account.

This defect is defintely critical as it violates the business rules and user has been deducted money for Booking ticket but the ticket booking process has not actually completed.

Cheers......

can you tell me another defect in web application?

Hi devi,

Following is an another example of a critical defect in a web-based application example

Take the example of an Online shopping system where you can purchase Goods online using cards.

Specification - The Goods selected by the customer which he is going to purchae has to in the Shopping cart and after the payment the same has to go to the pending delivery box. Once the goods are delivered after a time frame (in a week) the pending delivery box should be cleared

Testcase : Customer select the Goods (let us say five items), and it goes to the Shopping cart, then the customer makes the payment for all the five items. Once the payment is done, only three items from shopping cart are moved to the pending delivery instead of all the five items.

Defect : When the user checks the pending delivery field it shows only three items instead to five items.

This defect is a critical defect since as per the functional specifications once the payment is done, the items for which the payment is done should move from shopping cart to the pending delivery.

Thank you very much.

how do we perform security testing in web application?what are all include in security testing?

what are the common bug that found in web application?

can you tell me frequently asked interview questions in manual testing?

Hi devic8
can you tell me frequently asked interview questions in manual testing?

1)what is software testing

From here it depents upon the approach with the interviewer

The common bugs areas in web application are its fields , linking between pages and data storage..

Though I dont know much about web application testing, I think you need to test your application in all IE versions in case if your application is used worldwide. Because some features might work in a version and might not in another.
