Question { Mastek, 13755 }

difference between smoke testing and sanity testing?

Answer

Hi,
Smoke testing is performed right after the build is
delivered to test team. We check whether the build is
stable by going through all the major pages,
forms,links,butons etc. If the build is stable we move
ahaed and perform sanity testing. Sanity testing covers
entire build with thorough functionality checking. We do
extensive testing here by executing test cases.
If smoke testing fails build is revert back to the
development team.

Question { 7400 }

what is the difference between 2-tier appli. and 3-tier
appli. testing

Answer

Hi All,
Let it simplify a bit
2-tier application is the client -server aplication with
frontend and backend.
At frontend there would be forms, reports which gets filled
and monitored by backend.

3-tier application has
presentation layer (browser)
Application layer (code)
Database layer (Database-tables,views,procedures )
web application comes under 3 -tier and window based or
desktop aplication falls under 2-tier.
Suggestions are welcome

Question { 7692 }

what wil be your approach while testing any software ,test
to pass or test to fail?

Answer

The main aim of software testing is to find defect not to
prevent defect. So as per the testing concepts we try to
break the application.
But when u write test cases start with positive scenario,
cover the functionality as per the requirement
specification and then do negative scenario. Of course the
negative approach is as imporatnt as postive approach.

kindly do provide valuable input to above thought.

thanks
Jai

about the size that matters. The process that companies
follow matters a lot.

How many of u are having real exp? And how many people in

Question { Infosys, 15150 }

What do you mean by review? How many reviews are there in
manual testing? please explain those?

Answer

Review is a process or meeting where we check the
correctness of the documents based on the organization
standard. Are we following the right coding standard, right
test case preparation methods or template.
Primarily, reviews can be divided into two parts:
Formal review
Informal review: code review, peer review, walkthrough
Formal review: inspection,

Formal review has defined entry and exit criteria, done in a
very formal way with moderator, and all
Informal is just a friendly way of checking the documents
that covers requirements, should be correct as per the
standard defined by the organizational process.

Use your traceability matrix to check the test case id

1.what is the exact difference between sanity and smoke
testing which will do first and say some sanity test cases.....
2. difference between UI,GUI & Usability testing and can i

Answer

Dear Suvendu
you interchanged the information at first instance we
perform smoke to check the stability of the build, found
stable we then go for sanity testing, to check the complete
functionalities of the build as per the SRS.

Answer

Hey Mona
I am sorry to say but your answer is wrong. As I mentioned
in my earlier post smoke testing is done immediately after
build is received from development team to check the
stability of the build. Stability means to check whetehr
all the forms, buttons, links, etc are working. once it is
done we go for sanity testing i.e to check complete
functionalities of the module as per the requirement
mentoned in the SRS and we execute our test cases.

Question { ITC Infotech, 14918 }

1 )if you have 1000 test cases ,you find out one defect in
second build that time which testing you are using
Regression Testing or Retesting ? explain with detail as
well as you want to execute all the test cases?

Answer

WE perform regression testing but not on all the test cases.
we will check with traceability matrix and based on the
requirement mapped in the traceability matrix we perform
regression on those test cases.
In traceability matrix requirement id, description and test
cases will be mentioned so we can easily map the requirement
and come to know those test cases which have to be regressed.

Question { ACS, 7593 }

define 1)test methodologies, 2)test data 3) test scenario 4
) test environment

Answer

1) Test Methodology is nothing but implementation of test
strategy i.e description of test levels in which several
test activities are performed. As from testing perspective
integration testing, system testing uses black box testing
methodology. Unit testing uses white box testing methodology.

2) Test data is a real time data prepared with the help of
use cases or sent by the client side. It is used to test the
condition using real time data.

3) Test scenario is nothing but a sequential steps followed
to design test cases. EXAMPLE: to test ATM withdrawal
process we create scenarios.

4) Test environment controlled environment replica of real
time environment where where would be executing our test cases.

Question { 8823 }

can any one explain with example the diff between boundary
value analysis testcasees and equivalence class testcases
pls urgent

Answer

Keep it simple
BVA: test cases on boundaries.
how? min--max is the range

min,min+1,min-1 and max,max+1,max-1

apply above rule for the min max boundary

Now ECP: divide the input range in the class
one valid and two invalid (for any type of range)
true and false ( for boolean)
so, when u divide ur input into valid and invalid class
there also falls boundaries. Now, apply ur BVA techniques to
minimise the test cases.

suppose input domain is 1-20
valid class=1-20
invalid class less than 1
invalid class more than 20

Hope the answer is clear to you
