hi all,
can anyone clarify my doubts.
1. why test engineers need to know Unix or Unix commands.
if a Test engineer involved testing of application on unix platform then those Test engineers need to know about unix so this is what i assume.
but everywhere in interviews they ask about unix.
so tell me why v shud know unix.
2. why v need to know Database concepts, queries.
how its useful for testing.how they make use of database concepts.
waiting for ur answers,
rajatha
hi,
plz anyone clarify my doubts posted here.
Hi Rajatha
Lookign at the complexicity of teh applicaito being developed and mainly on web based applications there is lot of information exchange as well transfer of data taking place mainly in case of C/s or OLTP kind of applications. Further to test these applicaitons thoroughly and ensure te integrity of the modules it is desired to have the database knowledge first, and secondly knowledge on UNIX is comonly been asked since the cross platform applicaitons expectd good knwoledge of communiction protocols as well that helps better understandign and the effective test planning as well cases for expected results.
thanks for ur reply jayant
but tell me one thing.do test engineers write queries to check updates in the database or directly will go and check for updations in the database.
waiting for answers
thanks in advance,
Rajatha
