Today I am going to answer some reader’s questions. Actually I am thinking to start a weekly column on “Software Testing Questions and Answers”. Usually I get dozens of mails daily asking me on some software testing queries. Instead of answering them privately I will put them collectively in posts so that many similar questions of other readers will also get addressed. You can submit your questions in comment sections of posts. Before submitting question I will strongly recommend you to search here on this site if your queries are answered previously.
So I will kick it with some questions in this post.
Shivika asks:
“I have been given the assignment to test a UI based application page. They want me to break the functionality in any way. The first page is Sign up page containing fields like username password, email, url address field and some check box selection options . I have tried all the ways in which I can test the page. Can you also please suggest that what can be possible ways in which we can test the page?”
I will cover some major negative test cases to break the sign up page:
1) See the limit of username field. I mean the data type of this field in DB and the field size. Try adding more characters to this field than the field size limit. See how application respond to this.
2) Repeat above case for number fields. Insert number beyond the field storage capacity. This is typically a boundary test.
3) For username field try adding numbers and special characters in various combinations. (Characters like !@#$%^&*()_+}{”:?><,./;’[]). If not allowed specific message should be displayed to the user.
4) Try above special character combination for all the input fields on your sign up page having some validations. Like Email address field, URL field validations etc.
5) Many applications crash for the input field containing ‘ (single quote) and ” (double quote) examples field like: “Vijay’s web”. Try it in all the input fields one by one.
6) Try adding only numbers to input fields having validation to enter only characters and vice versa.
7) If URL validation is there then see different rules for url validation and add urls not fitting to the rules to observe the system behavior.
Example urls like: vijay.com/?q=vijay’s!@#$%^&*()_+}{”:?><,./;’[]web_page
Also add urls containing http:// and https:// while inserting into url input box.
8 ) If your sign up page is of some steps like step 1 step 2 etc. then try changing parameter values directly into browser address bar. Many times urls are formatted with some parameters to maintain proper user steps. Try altering all those parameters directly without doing anything actually on the sign up page.
9) Do some monkey testing manually or automating (i.e. Insert whatever comes in mind or random typing over keyboard) you will come up with some observations.
10) See if any page is showing JavaScript error either at the browser left bottom corner or enable the browser settings to display popup message to any JavaScript error.
These are all the negative test cases. I assume that you already tested the same sign up page with all valid cases to check application is working fine as per requirements.
If above cases are not breaking the application page then don’t forget to praise the developer 
If you have some killer test cases to break such applications that you learned from your experience, you can specify them in comments below.
Jayant asks:
“Normally freshers pass out have a state of their mind as “we are freshers”, recently pass outs from college and expect that the companies to recruit them should consider the knowledge base they have and further should impact them training. In true terms what is meant by fresher for an industry?”
Good question. When I was fresher I was thinking on the similar lines. But think from employer point of view. Employer will think like “Why should we hire candidates having little knowledge base and experience? and need training first before assigning any work? Well, fortunately not all employers think like this and that’s why frehsers are getting the jobs and training on the board. Thanks to the booming IT industry. Demand will continue for freshers having good educational background and appropriate problem solving skill.
Tremendous growth in number of engineering colleges resulted in significant increase in number of graduates passing out each year. And the gap is also increasing between the skill of graduates and the expectations of the companies.
Now I will focus on what industry look specifically in fresh graduates? Typically it will include:
- Problem solving and Analytical skill
- Technical skills
- Communication and interpersonal skill
- Leadership skill
- Extra activities like foreign languages, organization skills etc.
So it will be always better if you try to achieve any experience or skill before trying for any graduate jobs. You are one step ahead than those freshers having no experience at all.
This work experience typically includes:
Internship -
Internship work done in any company during or after the graduation. It may be free or paid internship
Sandwich courses -
In some courses industrial training is included in curriculum itself. It is typically of 6 months to 1 year in most of the universities. You can include this project training in your resume.
Special skill achievements through classes or companies:
Training taken from some institute or companies can be included in your work experience.
Projects:
Projects accomplished for commercial or research purpose. These are the paid or certification projects accomplished for companies during the graduation years.
All above-mentioned work will definitely count as a experience as you get actual idea of company, team work and company working culture. Find out your skill areas and what you can offer to employer before hunting for jobs. Companies always look for all-rounded candidates who can effectively utilize their skill into projects from universities, experience and extra activities.

Thanks for the great answers for breaking the functionality. I got a lot of points.
Hi i know the expact differances between smoke and Sanity testings ? and where it is used ? when we will use these once? pls give me the answer
How to interact with the developer about the bug?
its true. My favorite negative test case to check input box is insert single or double quote on it. Many times you can see this is not handled.
Also try adding HTML tags as input in such input boxes. You can find many bugs on such html tags as input to text boxes.
Great list bye the way.
HI Vijay
Thanks for the details. IN many of the cases during my visit to corporate there takes the discusison on the similar ground towards how the fresher candidtes can be well technically groomed towards the exact fit for their equriement and hence we have taken an aproach to the institutions right at the inceptio level with the inpus form indystrh client and offered on-campus sandwith courses at nomimnal cost and further FREE internship with our cleitns for a tenure of 90 days full time to work on projects to sharpen their skills which they are going to get work experience certificate form the client. I hope this will bridge the gap between the freshers strength adn industry need of fresher with adequate experience as well hands on.

hi vijay,
i am a regular visitor to your site , i like all your articles,those are very helpful for me to understand the concepts, i just started learning testing tools from a month ago, one of my friend has her own company website and i want to test that website for practice ,so can you please tell me how to proceed,and can you sugest me other articles on how to test a website manually and using atomated testing tools. i have seen ur article on this topic , with that i got an idea ,but i want a complete guide , so that i can follow that to complete my task.
waiting for ur replay
Thanks
hi
can u please explain what are the internal, external and broken links in yahoo website?
Do we have to write the test cases for each link?
We need to write test case or test scripts for each link - this can be done using customization of the automation scripts(loadrunner)
Hi GS,
Test Cases can be derived from the Scenarios. If you want to do write test cases for validation of text box, you can write Scenarios or Test Cases.
Scenarios:
Scenario 1. Check with the valid input(write the Expected Result)
Scenario 2. Check with the invalid input (write the Expected Result)
In Scenarios you can just mention Valid & Invalid and while testing try with all permutations and combinations.
In Test Cases you have to mention all the Permutations and Combination as a Case.
This is my live experience.
Pls Correct me If I am wrong..

About internal, external and broken links in any website
An internal link allows you to link to another section on the same web page, so it basically scrolls the page up or down to the desired location. This is helpful to the user to quickly jump to the information he/she is looking for.
External link checks link for outgoing links. It can be any link to any other websites.
Broken link refers to a weak link which does not work while clicking the link. This might happen when the path is not defined clearly by the developer when writing the scripts. There are few sites which checks for broken links. For more details refer to this site http://validator.w3.org/
it is very useful for me.all m doubts are clarrified.thanku.
Hi, I have a BSc degree, and have more than 2 yrs of experience in recruiting, and more than 1 yr in technical support. I am now interested in learning the concepts of software testing. Do you think it will be an ok transition from HR to software testing? Also I plan to take a 6 week course online. Any thoughts?
Great site , great job BTW!!!!
Thanks!
Hi Swapna
Of course yes as you are from HR background it can be considered as a vertical I mean any software development company engaged in develop say ERP module the knowledge at your end is going to be useful as a process which can be termed as DOMAIN EXPERTISE

Hi,
First of all thanks to your comments,iam working in chennai,i did not where to study the testing course.
do you any institute.I need your help.
Hi Ganesh
please check out for STG or STC there in Chennai or take help of google to search one of it.
Jayant
Hi,
My question is software testing is done in all developement concerns or not ,because some of the companies didn’t do that, they just created the software and they done all the testing by themselves (manually)
and send it to the clients.Then why testers are needed.
Dear Mr Ganesh
please go through few quotes i am mentioning below for your ready reference:

2. Hello All
1) Tester will be having more functional knowledge and there by
testing the application for the usablity and developer will be having
the knowledge in the screen only for which he /She has coded.He might
not be having the Complete picture of the Biz.
2) Interface Testing and system tsting are not possible at the
developers end

So the above lines of quotes from verious testing professionals to reply Mr Raj who had asked the similar question WHY TESTERS? which is close to your one does testing happens in every company YES it does without product delivery is not probably done.
Jayant
Hi,
The above quote is nice. My question here is about the salary package.
A tester with 2+ years experience can earn how much. At the same time is there any difference between salary levels of a developer and a tester or it may be same.
Hi Ganesh,
I really appreciate Jayant for sharing his and his friends thoughts on testers need in company.
To your latest question about salary:
Take the example of shopping market. You will get a product for different prices if its made by different companies. New and small companies will sell them to low price whereas big brand companies will not. Why? They have reputation, market and trusted quality since many years.
So as a tester your salary will depends on following factors:
1) Your total experience
2) Your Relevant experience (Say in software testing)
3) Your Skills
4) Your Role in organization (i.e tester, Sr, tester Test lead, Manager)
5) Your education
6) And finally the company salary policy.
Yes companies have salary policy, that what package a fresher will get, and also package for experience professional.
If you are working with equal opportunity employer then there should not be any differentiation between Developers and testers salary. And as per my knowledge most of the CMM companies do not differentiate between tester and Dev.
To be specific to your question as a 2+ experience and if you are on software test engg. position in a CMM level company then you can get around average 4 -5 lacks per annum package.
hi,
Its a very nice observation about the salary package,My qualification is Msc(information tech) and 2+ experience in s/w testing , how much my salary expections is to be.

Good list of test cases. i would like to add the few.
1.Try to register a user who already exist.
2.Try to register the emailid which is alredy registered, with different details.
3.(Assuming) If the password after the signup is sent to the email id registered, check if it is randomly generated and unique every time.
4.After registration click the back button of the browser and request for the same registration( it should not allow).
5. You register a user and system crashes.

Replying to Jayant:
Well, Vinod has mentioned most of the things that a fresher should have, in addition to his/her degree.
Altough its true that a fresher will be in a state of mind thinking “we are freshers”, but that won’t help anyway. You can’t keep on saying that, instead go attain some crash courses in the subject which you are intrested , that definatey will be a value add. “You have to run pretty fast in this life even just to stay still “.
To get into a good company and to get a first break, you need to have that extra THING in you. This can be anything what Vijay has mentioned above or what I have listed in my post.
The most important thing that a company look into a fresher is his/her Learning Ability, Analytical skills, Aptitude and the Attitude . The one who is recruiting you might have gone through same phase of life one or other day. They do know the ability and limitations of a fresher. Most of the companies have their own inhouse trainings going for months. A fresher also needs to have patience and confidence. I have seen many people giving up after a few months struggle.
Keep learning and try to stay in touch with the people in the industry you know. The best thing is keep visiting the tech forums and tech blogs.
Ultimately, fresher for corporates is the person passionate about technology and having the zest to learn it.

Suhas.

What do you mean by “Quality Control Testing”? I have never come across such term.
1, i want to know what is a difference b/w call by value and call by reference in a library function in QTP.
2, difference b/w sub procedure and function procedure in a QTP with examples.
Hi
I’m a frequent visitor of this site, we get many information from here.
Can anyone say what is the standards to be followed during usibality testing for a web application, and from where can we get it
What is the difference between the CLOSE AND CANCEL button
Suresh,
Usability testing is like testing how easy is the application to use for the user.
Consider a application whose target audience are general public (who know nothing abt s/w). Say to use the application u need to make a registeration. While registeration it will ask to enter the LOGIN ID. Now what is the login name? A description needs to be given for that mentioning what the term LOGIN ID stands for.
This is very very simple example of Usabiity testing.
While carrying this testing the very first and important thing to know is what the application is and who the intended USERS are? Without knowing this your testing will not be useful.
Difference between Close and Cancel?
Close: It will close the window, application.
Cancel: It will take you back to the previous page, screen.
ALL,
When you post the question make sure that you give your views/answers to the question you post. This will help the person answering to understand how much you know and what way he needs to answer you. Else it will be more generic and you may not get the expected answer.
Regards, Suhas.

Can you give some suggestions on how can we test an application with business prespective like i know what is the basic functional flow in the application
but obviously the developer will not know it & he will surely miss them so what would be proper approach
say for example
Purchase Module - Raise Po , Approve it , Capture the GRN in stores
So apart from this how we can ensure that system will handle all the business flow
Billing Module (patient)
1. Capture the bill details , recieve the payment in Cashier
Corporate patient - generate the bill for bill items segrregate the allowed & disallowed items in cashier & Rebilling corporate , recieve the corporate receipt against the corporate consoliddated bill
2. Rates - appropriate rates should be applied for the patient type like private , corporate, insurance , international, external
these are some basic scenarios apart from this any thing else can be tested in our project we dont focus much on field validations just mostly we focus on business scenarios which i found breaks the system very easily
Need your suggestions mail me
Thanks & Regards

Hi Vijay
I am david from chennai, I am having good knowledge in software testing.I have attended so many interview in these days.one of my interview questions is

Thats related to penetration testing.
Thats related to penetration testing. Mostly it will happen in PHP, .Net and Java applications. I don’t know about other technologies.
Hi,
can any one tell me “what is latent defect?”
and “what is bug density?” my mail id is bindupulikanti@yahoo.co.in
1. Latent Defect
Latent defects are those defects that still remain in the software product even when delivered to the customer.
These can be identified effectively with Inspections.
2. Bug Density
Bug density defines the testing metrics.
It is cost-effective for software practitioners to monitor and control the quality of software from the early phases of development.
Ratio of the number of bugs to the number of code defines the bug density

Data consistency is very important in web application. Check for data integrity and errors while you edit, delete, modify the forms or do any DB related functionality.
Check if all the database queries are executing correctly, data is retrieved correctly and also updated correctly. More on database testing could be load on DB, Security on DB etc…
hey happy now…

Hi Raaji,
STG branch near thousand lights is good as a matter of any STG branch is good,
Pls dont midunderstand that i am promoting STG here, i have nothing to do with them.
I am a Team lead in a Software MNC. I have studied in STG and i felt its good.
I would like to clarify one thing. Have u already joined MCA or going to join.
Second thing, Do u really like testing or your using this as a platform for entering software field.
Third, If you think testing is a easy job, well think again.
So first ask yourself a question and then once your confident. you can join any insititue or even do self learning.
Best of luck,

lokesh
I am attending interviews to get a job as software tester.For a short duration projects companies expect me to have full knowledge of TEST PLAN,TEST METHODOLOGIES,TEST STARTEGY AND TEST DELIVERRABLES. All these topics are very important to make test plan. can anybody tell me how to prepare test plan and all these topics.I am confused so, Please help me with these questions.
As a tester to get good job we should have some other soft skills. I have knowledge about SQL QUERIES,MS access, less knowledge of VB.What type of soft skills should i learn to get a good job in software testing field? Is it useful to do courses in SQL language, VB, VB.NET and .NET to enhance my skills in this field?
I am trying to take some course, but i am confused which course is useful for me in software testing field.
Please help me to clear my confusion.Answer me ASAP.
Ekta: Soft skills do not comprise of any programming language or some data base knowledge, soft skills are mostly your communication skills and how you present your technical knowledge out there!
So with your technical knowledge and communication skills you are ready to take testing challenges.
There is no limit for learning and again nothing can be learnt overnight. Some jobs need pre-requisites and some others will provide you on the job training.
Hey Ekta,
You seems to be highly confused.
Alright, here is the plan:
what you need to do is a software testing course, which ideally covers manual testing and automation(winrunner, Qtp, test director, etc) above that you need to have a little bit knowledge about scripting for enhancing your automation scripts.
Test plan templates are available on the internet, if you face difficulties finding it, i will send it out to you.
communication skill is a must as far as i am concerned, if you dont talk, how will i know what are you talking about, does not mean anyone is demanding an accent or free flowing english( good to have though) .
Bottomline is be strong with your basics.
Regards,
Tiger2K
Sir,
Actually i have to join the Software Testing course but im from commerce faculty and i have heard that after completing the software course n if we have to apply for job the companies give first preference to the people who r from science stream so is it ok if i do the course and please recomend me some good institutions in Pune so that i can join and i dont have any knowledge about the software. So if possible please guide me for the same.
Thaking you,

plz reply for que
What is the difference between use case and test case with example
thanks
manjula
@Manjula
USE CASE:
A use case is a description of a system’s behavior as it responds to a request that originates from outside of that system.
The use case technique is used in software and systems engineering to capture the functional requirements of a system. Use cases describe the interaction between a primary actor—the initiator of the interaction—and the system itself, represented as a sequence of simple steps. Actors are something or someone which exists outside the system under study, and that take part in a sequence of activities in a dialogue with the system, to achieve some goal: they may be end users, other systems, or hardware devices. Each use case is a complete series of events, described from the point of view of the actor.
TEST CASE:
A test case in software engineering is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine if a requirement or use case upon an application is partially or fully satisfied. It may take many test cases to determine that a requirement is fully satisfied.
Test cases are often incorrectly referred to as test scripts. Test scripts are lines of code used mainly in automation tools.
Written test cases are usually collected into test suites.
Hope this helps.

VijayD
I need documents related to mobile games & application Testing Test case format,test case Methodoligies & techniques,other related docs and usefull sites related that.Negative Test cases,Database Testing. If possible pls send t my mail id bht.patil@gmail.com
I need to know how a tester do database testing? What are the basic steps for it:? What knowledge should require for a software test engineer to become a data base tester?
I need to know how a tester do Sap testing? What are the basic steps for it? What knowledge should require for a software test engineer to become a Sap tester?
hi pramod,
even i want to know why database knowledge is necessary for testers.and how do TE make use of it.
@ Rajatha
As a Test Engineer, you need to have database knowledge.
1) Your application always interacts with a database schema in order to display information on GUI.
2) Lets assume, in your application you want to see all the existing users list, then you need to write a query like, SELECT * FROM USERS;
3) Some times, you may need to test the application with customer specific data, then you need to take the database backup from the customer and need to restore your local database with the backup taken from the customer.
4) In order install your application, you may need to create your own database schema, for that you may need to create an user and then run the SQL queries.
etc…
How can you do all these tasks without having database knowledge.
As far as I know, for any Test Engineer the basic skill set should be as follows,
- Knowledge about the Applications (2-tier, 3-tier etc)
- Database knowledge (atleast writing queries)
- Communication Skills (both written and Verbal)
Regards,
VijayD

How do the cookies efffect in web applications
testing?
Hi Chandana,
As you asked question about difference between QA and testing………
Quality of product includes two things quality assurance and quality control(testing).
1.Quality assurance is related to the process done for quality of product.Where quality control is related to product(meet the final specification).
2. Audits in an industry is the example of QA where as
Testing is the example for QC.
3.Output of QC(testing) is input for QA.If we find any problem in QC(testing) we need to change or correct our testing process(QA).
4.QA is productive in nature where QC is detective in nature.
what is the reason to change job?
how much salary will u expected ? more than that(my salary) is it correct?

How do we do load testing practically at work for a website application?
How we test a login page or other page performance when many users try to request the same page?
Because it is not possible at work to manage many(eg. 500) user just to test a login page or other page in a website application.
I was asked for the same question in an interview so someone who has experience with load testing in an website application please answer me in datail.
Hi Ekta,
The answer is very simple, use any performance testing tool like load runner or eloads .
This tools provides you with a concept of Vuser who simulates the real time user actions.
This way you can find out the performance. let me know if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Tiger2K
Hi Tiger2K,
Thanks very much for your help.You also helped me before to get good answers of my problems.But i want to request you if u will provide me this answer with full detail because i never did load testing by my self. I have only theoretically knowledge(i think not in detail).I didnot get your this answer properly so i am requesting you to help me with this.
I will wait for your answer.
Thanks again

check for negative test case
Hi Priya,
My main question is ……………
How we test a login page or other page performance when many users try to request the same page?
Because it is not possible at work to manage many(eg. 500) user just to test a login page or other page in a website application.
As you told check for negative test case but with this how can i check webpage for many users.
Is it easy work to find bugs in an application?
if somebody ask this question in an interview what should be the proper answer.

HI, Venkatesh here i having 2 + years experience in mannual testing.I am looking for new job if their any requirment please late me know my cell no is 9964585966 .B’lore
Hey Venkaetsh, Itz silly that u want to change ur platform.. I wonder why u are looking out for a new job again.When u already possess 2 + yrs of exp in manual testing , then why dont u try out for any Automation tool, may be u may get some extra knowledge on automation too and who knws that may be handy in the near future, rite!!!. just think abt it and try to come out of the phobia of looking for a new job.
Strictly speaking Venkatesh, the present scenario is not so gud in software as the Recission period is in full swing .
My kind suggestion to u is, not to look for any new job till this year end.
There are many ppl who r looking for jobs and u r the one who wants to go for a new job , how strange that is ! am i rite venkatesh?
So dont give up the present one.
Contact me ,if u have any queries
here is my mail id.

@Ekta
If this Question raised to me. I would have told we need the analytical skill to find the bugs in the an application. Some caught easily (e.g) design issue by an eye some are not found in a glance. We need to test in a zikzak way to find more bugs.
It is not easy in some case.

sir i have completed my b.e in cse in 2003.but due to some problems i did not take engineering asprofession.but now i wanted to enter in IT field.somebody told me about software testing course.will i get the job after doing this course.there is 5 years gap.plese tell me should i go for this or do something different
Hello, This is in response to the Query Raised by Namrata whether is there any scope for her in testing if she wills to enter.
As u have completed ur Be with Cse in the year 2003 and since u possess 5 years of gap ,I think u have a Gud chance of making it into Testing.
But the pros and cons are always there for any field,rite?
So First U need to Learn Testing thoroughly (MANUAL and Automation).
I bet Manual testing is easy .This will be like a Theory dealing wit some of the Important concepts.But Namrata the only factor u need to worrry abt in manual is The Templates used in the Real time Environment. Since u said u have 5 yrs of gap after ur Be(2003).
U need to be perfect in all those aspects .
Coming to the Automation, Im sure tat will also be an easy for u as u have some computer knwledge,since u r a CSE student.
In Automation, u need to be Perfect in Scripting Part.
Im sure u might have heard abt Java script, Vbsript ?? rite?..If so.. that woud be handy for u in understanding the Script.
There are few Automation Tools available in the market, like…Qtp,LoadRunner,Winrunner,Silktest,RationalRobot,SqaSuite and so on…..
So if u learn Qtp, there the Scripting language used is VB Script….
Scripting languages vary from Tool to Tool.
Namrata, If at all u r projecting with 5 yrs of exp in testing , then u need to knw the Real time Environment and all the Templates used in the Testing.
All in can say abt testing is,Manual is quiet easy ,But u need to concentrate more on the Automation tool(Choose any of the automation tool and be perfect in that).
Ppl use qtp ,which is easy and it is used for Functional testing.so itz up to u to go for Qtp or any other tools.
Wish u a gud luck in the Testing Namrata..Hope u do wel and Be confident in ur answering !.
I m working in the Testing platform and so i just gave u my view..
If itz beyond ur reach, Then just Forgive me Namrata.
Regards,
Me.Gud luck 4ur career!

U need to be perfect in all those aspects .
Coming to the Automation, Im sure tat will also be an easy for u as u have some computer knwledge,since u r a CSE student.
In Automation, u need to be Perfect in Scripting Part.
Im sure u might have heard abt Java script, Vbsript ?? rite?..If so.. that woud be handy for u in understanding the Script.
There are few Automation Tools available in the market, like…Qtp,LoadRunner,Winrunner,Silktest,RationalRobot,SqaSuite and so on…..
So if u learn Qtp, there the Scripting language used is VB Script….
Scripting languages vary from Tool to Tool.
Namrata, If at all u r projecting with 5 yrs of exp in testing , then u need to knw the Real time Environment and all the Templates used in the Testing.
All in can say abt testing is,Manual is quiet easy ,But u need to concentrate more on the Automation tool(Choose any of the automation tool and be perfect in that).
Ppl use qtp ,which is easy and it is used for Functional testing.so itz up to u to go for Qtp or any other tools.
Wish u a gud luck in the Testing Namrata..Hope u do wel and Be confident in ur answering !.
I m working in the Testing platform and so i just gave u my view..
If itz beyond ur reach, Then just Forgive me Namrata.
I told u the Exact scenario, prevailing in the market.
Regards,
Me.Gud luck 4ur career!

Software testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding errors by applying valid as well as invalid inputs and verifying the expected outputs whether its as per the user perspectives.It can be done manually and automatically.
Manual testing : Testing the software manually by applying positive(valid) and negative(invalid) inputs and verifying the expected outputs.
There are mainly two types of Manual Testing.
1) Static Testing : Non execution based.
2) Dynamic Testing : Execution based.
Automation Testing : Testing the software by using automated testing tools.

@ Ashwini
I raise my right hand for SQTL. because I am the X-student of SQTL Mumbai 1st Batch in Ghatkopar !!!! I feel proud to be a SQTL Student
I have done my course in the year 2004. Now working for a US based Software Company.
You can join STQL but better you can do in Metro City because you will get more oppourtunity over there.
All the best….
hi janu,

My Answer :
1) the limit of username field. I mean the data type of this field in DB and the field size. Try adding more characters to this field than the field size limit.
2) Repeat above case for number fields. Insert number beyond the field storage capacity. This is called typically a boundary test.
3) For username field try adding numbers and special characters in various combinations. (Characters like !@#$%^&*()_+}{”:?><,./;’[]). If not allowed specific alert message should be displayed to the user.
4) all the above above special character combination for all the input fields on your sign up page having some validations.
Like Email address field, URL field validations etc.
5) Many applications crash for the input field containing ‘
(single quote) and ” (double quote) examples field like: “Vijay’s web”.
you can try it in all the input fields one by one.
6) Try adding only numbers to input fields having validation to enter only characters and vice versa.
7) If URL validation is there then see different rules for url validation and add urls not fitting to the rules to observe the system behavior.
Example urls like: vijay.com/?q=vijay’s!@#$%^&*()_+}{”:?><,./;’[]web_page. Also add urls containing http:// and https:// while inserting into url input box.
8 ) If your sign up page is of some steps like step 1 step 2 etc. then try changing parameter values directly into browser address bar. Many times urls are formatted with some parameters to maintain proper user steps.
Try altering all those parameters directly without doing anything actually on the sign up page.
9) Do some monkey testing manually or automating (i.e. Insert whatever comes in mind or random typing over keyboard) you will come up with some observations.
10) See if any page is showing JavaScript error either at the browser left bottom corner or enable the browser settings to display popup message to any JavaScript error.
few years back I was sticky to all these tips…
These are known as negative test cases.
Once we used to do in this way .. sometimes we forget to do with the right data. We don’t even if we give correct and valid data application may not react accordingly.. In that case try always with valid data once and than do monkey testing.
Imagine you are the interviewer hope you must be statisfied in this answer right? butttt …..
Atlast …. My Interviwer was expecting me to say that User name should be “unique”
I don’t know whats your interviewer was expecting from you?
Anyhow I got my Cup tea!
Best Luck! Keep hunting …

@ jaanu
can u tell me ur email id??
@ Ash
We can do system testing by both manual and auto.
System testing falls within the scope of black box testing, and should require no knowledge of the inner design of the code or logic.
a. The purpose of Unit is to detect any inconsistencies in the single Module.
b. The purpose of integration testing is to detect any inconsistencies between the software units that are integrated together.
c.System testing is a more limiting type of testing; it seeks to detect defects both within the “inter-assemblages” and also within the system as a whole.

hi
this is nagarjuna. i Am doing MCA final year. I see this web site today. It is very useful to everyone. ok guys i am asking one thing that is please suggest me for doing a project in c or c++.
plz can anyone let me know the difference between Negative testing and Non Functional requirement
@ Sharada
Non-functional testing covers that part of the application
in which the functionality of the application is
irrelevant. For example, look and feel[GUI] testing.
Negative testing is nothing but testing the functionality
with invalid inputs and conditions
Thanks for the info …. Jaanu
