Answer / nitin verma hcl
HI,
In mutation testing we create a duplicate copy of the code
that is called as mutant and do some changes in the codes in
the mutant copy and then we test and check weather the
changes are been detected or not and whether it is creating
any effect on the original copy of the code or not.
If we change the code of the program (this process is called
mutation) and we run the mutated program (mutant) against
the test suite, we will have two possible scenarios:
1. The results of the program were affected by the code
change and the test suite detects it. If this happens, the
mutant is called a killed mutant.
2. The results of the program are not changed and the test
suite does not detect the mutation. The mutant is called an
equivalent mutant.
Plz correct me if i m wrong...
Regards..

Answer / uma
Mutation testing is used to test the quality of your test
suite. This is done by mutating certain statements in your
source code and checking if your test code is able to find
the errors.

mutation testing is a testing where our goal is to mutaint
s/w fail.
prepare the test cases & compare it with mutant, whenever
our test case is match with mutant s/w that we can say
mutation testing is completed.
whenever, our test cases are not match with mutation s/w,
we can fail it.

Hi i am working in bangalore..I have 2yrs experience in manual testing,if there are any openings in ur company please let me know My email id is: vdivyamdu@gmail.com
Hi All, I am new in testing field. I got an interview and the question was asked- What would be your high level test case on the following scenario. There are 2 fields one is SCORE and other is GRADE and there is a go button. Scenario is If score is 90- 100 then grade should be A, if Score is 80-90 then B, if 70- 80 then C Else F. So I told that - I will check Boundary values by giving max +1 and min-1 values. I will check the functionality is working as per the requirement or not. I will include + and - testing. But seems like my answer was not correct, obviously because I don't have much experience. So plz provide me the best answer of this Q ? Thanks in advance. Preeti
