MANUAL TESTING QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
1. What is meant by Priority and severity?
Severity:
1. This is assigned by the Test Engineer
2. This is to say how badly the deviation that is occurring is affecting the other modules
of the build or release.
Priority:
1. This is assigned by the Developer.
2. This is to say how soon the bug as to be fixed in the main code, so that it pass the
basic requirement.
Egg. The code is to generate some values with some valid input conditions. The priority
will be assigned so based on the following conditions:
a> It is not accepting any value
b> It is accepting value but output is in non-defined format (say Unicode Characters).
A good example I used some Unicode characters to generate a left defined arrow, it
displayed correctly but after saving changes it gave some address value from the
Stack of this server. For more information mail me I will let you know.
2. Give me some example for high severity and low priority defect?
If suppose the title of the particular concern is not spelled correctly, it would give a
negative impacted ICICC is spelled as a title for the project of the concern ICICI. Then it is
a high severity, low priority defect.
3. What is basis for test case review?
The main basis for the test case review is
1. Testing techniques oriented review
2. Requirements oriented review
3. Defects oriented review.
4. What are the contents of SRS documents?
Software requirements specifications and Functional requirements specifications.
5. What is difference between the Web application testing and Client Server testing?
Testing the application in intranet (without browser) is an example for client -server.
(The company firewalls for the server are not open to outside world. Outside people
cannot access the application.)So there will be limited number of people using that
application.
Testing an application in internet (using browser) is called web testing. The application
which is accessible by numerous numbers around the world (World Wide Web.)
So testing web application, apart from the above said two testing there are many other
testing to be done depending on the type of web application we are testing.
,If it is a secured application (like banking site- we go for security testing etc.)
If it is an e-commerce testing application we go for Usability etc… Testing.
6. Explain your web application architecture?
Web application is tested in 3 phases
1. Web tier testing –> browser compatibility
2. Middle tier testing –> functionality, security
3. Data base tier testing –> database integrity, contents
7.suppose the product/application has to deliver to client at 5.00PM,At that time you
or your team member caught a high severity defect at 3PM.(Remember defect is high
severity)But the client is cannot wait for long time. You should deliver the product at
5.00Pm exactly. Then what is the procedure you follow?
The bug is high severity only so we send the application to the client and find out the
severity is priority or not. If its priority then we ask him to wait.
Here we found defects/bugs in the last minute of the delivery or release date
Then we have two options
1. Explain the situation to client and ask some more time to fix the bug.
2. If the client is not ready to give some time then analyze the impact of defect/bug and
try to find workarounds for the defect and mention these issues in the release notes as
known issues or known limitations or known bugs. Here the workaround means remedy
process to be followed to overcome the defect effect.
3. Normally this known issues or known limitations (defects) will be fixed in next version
or next release of the software
8. Give me examples for high priority and low severity defects?
Suppose in one banking application there is one module ATM Facility. In that ATM
facility when ever we are depositing/withdrawing money it is not showing any
conformation message but actually at the back end it is happening properly with out any
mistake means only missing
Of message. In this case as it is happening properly so there is nothing wrong with the
application but as end user is not getting any conformation message so he/she will be
Confuse for this. So we can consider this issue as HIGH Priority but LOW Severity
defects…
9. Explain about Bug life cycle?
1) Tester->
2) Open defect->
3) Send to developer
4) ->if accepted moves to step5 else sends the bug to tester gain
5) Fixed by developer ->
6) Regression testing->
7) No problem inbuilt and sign off
->if problem in built reopen the issue send to step3
, 10. How can you report the defect using excel sheet?
To report the defect using excel sheet
Mention: The Future that been effected.
Mention: Test Case ID (Which fail you can even mention any other which are
dependency on this bug)
Mention : Actual Behavior
Mention : Expected Behavior as mentioned in Test Case or EFS or EBS or SRS document
with section
Mention : Your Test Setup used during Testing
Mention : Steps to Re-Produce the bug
Mention : Additional Info
Mention : Attach a Screen Shot if it is a GUI bug
Mention : Which other features it is blocking because of this bug that you are unable to
Execute the test cases.
Mention: How much time you took to execute that test case or follow that specific TC
Which leaded to bug?
11.If you have executed 100 test cases ,every test case passed but apart from these
test case you found some defect for which test case is not prepared,thwn how you can
report the bug?
While reporting this bug into bug tracking tool you will generate the test case mean put
the steps to reproduce the bug.
12. What is the difference between web based application and client server
application?
The basic difference between web based application & client server application is that
the web application are 3 tier & client based are 2 trier.In web based changes are made
at one place & it is reflected on other layers also whereas client based separate changes
need be installed on client machine also.
13. What is test plan? And can you tell the test plan contents?
Test plan is a high level document which explains the test strategy, time lines and
available resources in detail. Typically a test plan contains:
-Objective
-Test strategy
-Resources
-Entry criteria
-Exit criteria
-Use cases/Test cases
-Tasks
-Features to be tested and not tested
-Risks/Assumptions.
