Interview Question & Answers for Software Testing 2017

1. Explain bug life cycle.

• When a tester finds a bug, the bug is assigned NEW or OPEN with status.

• The bug is assigned to Development Project Managers who will analyze the bug. They will check whether it is a valid defect. If not valid, the bug is rejected, and its new status is REJECTED. Software Testing Training in Chennai

• Now, the tester checks whether the similar defect was raised earlier. If yes, the defect is assigned a status ‘DUPLICATE’

• Once the bug is fixed, the defect is assigned a status ‘FIXED’

• Next the tester will re-test the code. In case, the test case passes, the defect is CLOSED

• If test case fails again, the bug is RE-OPENED and assigned to the developer.

2. What is elementary process?

Software applications are made up of several elementary processes. There are two types of elementary processes:

– Dynamic elementary Process: The dynamic elementary involves process of moving data from one location to another. The location can be either within the application or outside it. Software Testing Training in Chennai

– Static elementary Process: It involves maintaining the data of the application.

3. What are the tools of performance testing?

Some popular commercial testing tools are:

• LoadRunner(HP): This testing tool contains a wide array of application environments, platforms and databases. It is typically suitable for web applications and others.
• QAload(Compuware): This tool is used for load testing of web, database and char-based systems.
• WebLoad(RadView): It is used to compare running tests with test metrics.
• Rational Performance Tester (IBM): It allows finding out the presence and cause of bottlenecks.
• Silk Performer (Borland): This testing tool lets you predict the behavior of e-business environment.

4. Explain the concepts of Test Fusion Report of QTP.

Test Fusion report displays different aspects of the test run, soon after the tester runs a test. The Test Fusion report is used to display all the aspects of test run, it specifies where the application failures occurred, the test data used, and the detailed explanation of every checkpoint stating pass or failure and the application screen shots of every step by highlighting the discrepancies.

Test Fusion Report is a compilation of the entire testing process. It includes an overview of where the failures occurred, the test data that was used in testing, screen shots to support inconsistencies and detailed view of checkpoints.
