This tutorial is a part of the Software Testing Question and Answers series.

Here, you will see the answers to some of the reader’s questions that were addressed in the comments section. If you have queries on Software Testing, Quality Assurance or career in testing, then you can raise those questions in the comment section below.

It will not be possible to address each and every question in detail as the questions are on vast topics, for which detailed answers will be required in a new tutorial. This tutorial will answer such questions in brief here and will also write detailed articles separately if required.

Let’s get some questions answered here!

Software Testing Questions and Answers

Naresh A. asks:

“My past experience was related to “Test Engineer”. Recently I am appointed as Test Lead in a product based company. Currently, there is no pre-established testing process.  As a TL I am meant to define a standard process for the entire testing flow and I will maintain certain documents for each product.

Can you help me out in establishing a process for testing and let me know the entire responsibilities of the TL and what documents I am supposed to prepare and maintain?”

As a Team Leader, you are responsible for project planning, scheduling, communicating your project status to your manager and most important task of assigning and monitoring the project work. Your main responsibility is to build a team to achieve your project goals.

You need to focus on handling the challenges in your project so that your team and project will grow and perform well. As far as the standard testing process is considered, it depends on you – what procedure do you want to establish? Yes, some people might blame me for this point but I prefer to establish my own processes that work for me.

I don’t stick to those old process definitions that are written and managed in some ’90s and most of which might not be applicable nowadays.

The Test Lead is responsible for ensuring that project plan changes are incorporated into the Test Plan. You may write a Test Plan and Test strategy (in some cases it might be written by a senior test team member or even by project Test Manager). Ensure that the work is going according to this Test Plan. Identify the risks and try to mitigate them.

At the end of the project, the Testing Life Cycle ensures that all test objectives are accomplished and the acceptance criteria are met.

Few other responsibilities of a TL include Test Case Review, Requirements Validation, Monitoring the execution of Manual and Automated test cases, Preparing test summary reports and Communicating test status to seniors and preparing corresponding documents.

To know more on SQA processes read – “SQA Processes- How to Test complete Application“. Hope you had a good idea of the testing process and TL responsibilities from this answer.

Pavan Ankus asks:

“I am appearing for QA positions in the US. I would kindly request you to email me the suitably challenging situations in Manual Testing and also since I don’t have domain knowledge in Insurance, finance and other financial domain experience I am finding it hard to explain to the interviewer as an experienced person.

In this regard, I need your suitable answer as to how to face the interviewer?”

You will get this question in every testing interview – “Tell me about any challenging situation you faced in your previous projects or Tell me any bug that you feel proud to find it?”

The answer to these questions depends on your testing career. Almost every one of you might have faced many challenging situations where exceptional thinking is required to solve such problems.

We would suggest you to pick any such situation from your career and explain it in a better way. At least it should sound challenging 😉 This will help you to face further questions from the interviewer depending on your answer.

The broad challenges in Manual Testing are: How to ensure complete test coverage? Testing without an automation tool is itself a big challenge.

You can also explain non-technical challenges in Manual Testing like managing the testing work at critical times (Link to testing under a time limit) i.e. completing testing before the deadline and even the worst case if the deadline itself is not feasible.

Explaining a challenging bug you found in your career can also be a good answer to this question. For example, a bug that was difficult to find, reprove, or had a big impact on customer revenue, etc.

Pavan, since you mentioned that you don’t have knowledge in the banking and finance domain, what do you expect from yourself to give an answer to that? If you don’t have experience in banking and finance domain then do not put this as a skill in your resume just for the sake of matching your profile with the employer requirements.

If you really want to get into the testing of BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) domain then first study this Domain. Know the basic concepts of the BFSI domain. See the resources that we have listed in the BFSI domain on our Resource page. Keep in mind that you can answer in detail about any question if you have worked on that.

Mitch asks:

“What is the best way to go about getting a pay rise? Are reporting and graphing bugs found compared to other team members a good idea?

Comparing the bug count with other team or team members is a very bad idea to ask for a pay rise. If you are working for the organization for a long time then your employer knows your value and importance in the organization. There is no need to show how your bug count graph is higher than your counterparts.

So what is the best way to ask for a good salary raise?

During your performance appraisal, you should be able to convince your reviewer how you worked hard for your organization, how you succeeded in managing difficult tasks and how you enhanced your skills to better match your current work profile. If you succeed in this negotiation then you will definitely get a good pay rise.

Other factors to consider while giving you a pay rise: Relevant Skills, Complexity of application you are working on, problem-solving skills, total and relevant experience, education and certifications.

    In any interview the interviewer will ask the question on what you have showcased in your resume. The number of years of experience you have and the things you have put up in your resume will fetch you interview calls.

Now it is hightime I have realised the mistakes. So how to cope up with the job. What is my possibility of getting job in other company?

    If you can help me i would be very thankful to u all…

  22. @Jaishri K S,

    So as you are speaking about domain, I have something to share with you.
    Initially I was working for almost 3 years in Healthcare domain. Then after that I thought of going for job a change, I got a pretty good offer from a company but it was not operating in the same domain – Healthcare. I talked to many of my friends, seniors about the same. The one response which I got and felt was correct form a senior manager (from PSPL) was:
    “When you are working as a test engineer your domain should be testing and something like healthcare, banking , insurance should not really bother you. You should be good at testing, you should be good at learning new things. I personally do not think you should stick to specific domain unless you are sure you are not capable working on any other. So when you go for a job change make sure you have something really challenging testing work to do there”
    I know many fellow testers will not agree to this, but I do felt it correct that time. And am sure now I took right decision that time. I have worked on web based application and presently working on a search engine. Come out of the concept of DOMAIN.

    Hope I have answered your query, suhasrm@gmail.com if further you have any doubts.

    Regards, Suhas M

  23. Hi,

  46. Hi,
    I am very new to testing.Could you jsut clarify my understanding to SDLC and Testing Life Cycle is corresct or not?

    SDLC–As in any other engineering discipline, software engineering also has some structured models for software development
    Software life cycle models describe phases of the software cycle and the order in which those phases are executed. There are tons of models, and many companies adopt their own, but all have very similar patterns as below
    Requirement–>Design–>Codind–>Testing

    TLC–Testing Life Cycle….it involves
    UnitTesting–>IntegrationTesting–>SystemTesting—->AcceptenceTesting
    But some book says TLC as
    TestPlanning–>TestStratgy–>TestCaes->Execution–>Repoting

    But i dont think this one is right as all this is TEST PROCESS ACTIVITIES.NOTHING to do with TLC.
    Please clrify my confusion that would be great for me!

    Reagrds,
    Rahul

  71. Iam working as Module lead related to Testing project.
    Kindly let me know what knid of exam i can attend to be as a certified tester

  72. I am looking for the job for QC testing so i want to know that how to explain about last project the basic question tell me something about yourself or last project??so it should cover all the points of SDLC.

    I am fresher……

  73. here is the conclusion for this:
    The software industry can still not agree on the definitions for bug, defect, error, fault, or failure. In essence, if you use the term to mean one specific thing, it may not be understood to be that thing by your audience. However, since the terms are not used correctly, you should learn the meaning of them where you work.

  74. @ Pavitra
    you could first think about giving ISTQB Conducted by ISEB Board.this one is fundamental one.it doesn’t require much preparation..There are many board which are member of this indcluing india,germoney,uk,,

  87. Hi,
    please give me answer for this qn
    How do you proceed with testing when requirements are not given?

  89. Hi Senti
    Till we use mobile phones, mobile industry is not going to market out new models
    So no need to worry for it
    Mobile testing will have its own future for several years

  90. hey what this testers can do in software development. They are just multiplying the work by finding some concerns of their own and that is not needed for the client. No need of testers in software development its just an added resource, a clever client wont bill for them.

  91. i want to prepare for a technical presentation.
    can you suggest me a good topic and any informative sites in that topic (it would be better if the topic is from testing domain)
    i thought of giving on the topic cross site scripting(CSS)
    but somehow not very confident with it.please help friends!!!

  92. @smoke testing and sanity testing with example

    Thi sis most mcommon thing weather folks get confused..but i will give more clear example

    SMOKE–it checks health of build..weather health i sstable or not ..which decide weather further testing would be carried out or not..we check weather build is crashing or not..it is more systematic than SANITY..

    SANITY–it checks functionality of build at higher level..we carried out one teansection related to each module hare..it is less formal and less planned then SMOKE.

    if smoke fails sanity stops.Sanity tell weather it is “reasonable” enough to carry out testing or not..

    i hope this will clarify major doubt .
    Rahul!!!
    more info ping back rahulkumarbangalore@yahoo.co.in

  93. Hi Neeharika!!!

    Regarding tools…….the best and free site is
    opensourcetestingtools.com…….from this you can download any testing tool and have a practice on your own…

    Regarding certification…ISTQB is the certification that is known to me …as if i had completed.

    All the best….

  94. From where i can get CSTE Examination Material and what all languages you should now if you want to excell in web or BFSI domain as its not possible to know all languages so which is in more demand as per that if you can guide me.
    Because some people says u should know JAVA for automation,SQL to know about database so what all because its difficult to just keep learning after a certain time so just guide me regarding same .
    As well what all new tools and languages used in abroad for Testing.

  100. Hi Friends,

  102. hi all,
    am looking out for job in testing field. Am attending interviews also but in second or third round I will come out.
    am the only test engineer in our company since its very small.
    No test lead nothing.
    Myself implementing testing concepts in projects.
    But I cant do all types of testing.
    Example I can do only functional and integration.
    So for interview purpose I will be referring testing sites(www.softwaretestinghelp.com).
    so I could clear first and sometimes second round also.
    But when interviewer asks real time questions then I wont be able to answer, so I would rejected.

    One more question I have is, can we learn QTP tool by ourself, since everywhere its been asking and i got trained in winrunner

    Friends, Pls suggest me solutions for all my questions

  107. Hi Smitha/ Deepthi, #396/397

    You people are very true. I accept your words about STC.
    Their add in papers are so good than others.
    They are good counselors.
    They’ll provide good training materials, but not training.

    I’ve been completed my CSTP course @ STC adayar and i’m the only person who cleared their online test in that batch; but no one from my batch got placed by them. 🙂 But they gave lot of assurance while joining.

  109. hi all,

    interview questions..

    1. why you chose testing as career?

    2.why ur looking out for change?

    please anyone answer me for these questions

    thank you..

  111. @ priya,
    To be successful in any field, you need to have strong basic knowledge, let it be prorgamming or testing. As you are working as a trainer in a trainig centre, you have got a chance to get perfect in software testing basics. Also an important thing to do is, grow your social network, especially with the one who are working in the related field. Most of the companies call ONLY referals for interviews, so being socially active can get you a interview call. Also spend some time testing, you can start testing any aplication you have ex: mediaplayer, calc, notepad , any website etc. Spend time reading testing related blogs, see what experts have to say, evaluate some free tools.

  128. Hi Madhui,

    Ofcourse you are right. At end of course they’ll conduct one mock interview, even for mock interview they dominates the learners like recruiters. But please dont comment any person here. I think it is not good one.

    But really i had bad experience with them.

    One thing i’m sure, by that course only i entered into testing domain. But i struggled a lot to get settled.

  129. hi guys,

  130. Hi Rahul,

    Thanks for your reply

    Can u tell me the process and any book because you have already cleared

  131. @Jaykay

    The question “What are Testing Limitations?” does not make much sense to me.

    Reason, Software testing is the process used to assess the quality of computer software. This includes, but is not limited to, the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding software bugs.

    You can see the below facts related to testing (if helps),
    – You cannot test any application 100%
    – No Application is 100% defect free

  140. Is there a specific branch of Testing which is suitable for Instrumentation Engineers? If I chose Testing as my Career, how’d I go about learning as a Beginner? Please suggest some good institutes, books & websites.

  143. We are looking for fresh engineering graduates with the following eligibility to work out of our Bangalore facility:

    Ø Engineers – B.E/B.Tech with 70% and above

    Ø Graduation year of pass out – 2009

    Ø XII Std – 75%

    Ø X Std – 75%

    If you have any of your acquaintances who satisfy the above criteria, you may please ask them to apply through the following link:
    GO TO CALSOFTGROUP.C O M
    GO TO CAREERS
    GO TO APPLY FRESHERS
    JUST APPLY

    Shortlisted candidates will be called for a technical written test to be held in Bangalore, shortly.

    Please note that:

    Ø candidates not meeting any one of the above criteria will not be considered

    Ø applications directly sent to the recruitment / HR team at Bangalore / Chennai will not be considered

    Ø applications registered thro’ the above link will only be considered

    Ø the above link will be open only till EOD of 15 Dec 09 and applications received beyond 15 Dec 09 will not be considered.

  144. Globalization:

    ensures the application can function in any culture/locale. The goal of globalization testing is to detect potential problems in application design that could inhibit globalization. It makes sure that the code can handle all international support without breaking functionality that would cause either data loss or display problems.

    Localization:
    service that are acceptable for a particular culture or locale that makes users to accept the adaptable software. For example MS OFFICE is used in many languages as a packagable software, as i use the software in english and others may use in Japanese or Hindi etc.

    Localization testing checks how well the build has been translated into a particular target language. This test is based on the results of globalized testing where the functional support for that particular locale has already been verified. If the product is not globalized enough to support a given language, you probably will not try to localize it into that language in the first place!

  157. #384 and #385,
    Hi Sravani,

    Madhura is correct.
    Generally, when we do not have any requirements, we just explore the given application and try to understand it.
    At the same time, we do raise our queries to the existing team members who are already working on the application (like Dev team, Manager, Business Analusts etc).

    Based on the answers we get, we try to document our understandings and from there we can prepare the test cases.

    This is what is called Adhoc testing or Exploratory testing.

    Hope this helps.

    VijayD

  176. Hi Shreya,

    This is Suresh Working as a Test Engineer. I have mentioned Database Testing as given below:

    Data bas testing basically include the following.
    1)Data validity testing.
    2)Data Integritity testing
    3)Performance related to data base.
    4)Testing of Procedure,triggers and functions.
    for doing data validity testing you should be good in SQL queries
    For data integrity testing you should know about referintial integrity and different constraint.
    For performance related things you should have idea about the table structure and design.
    for testing Procedure triggers and functions you should be able to understand the same.

    Thanks,
    Suresh

  177. @Aruna

    As much as I know SQA and tester have very different role to play. If I have guessed it right, SQA- Software Quality Assurance engineer works on verification of PROCESSES and your job will be looking after the process compliance. So first be clear about if you want to go for that change.
    The other thing related to the lead- as the lead also is newly appointed, he/she may take some time.
    Else , try to figure out if he/she is purposefully doing it. If thats the case, talk to him/her about it personally diplomatically.
    If that also does not solve your problem, communicate to the next level again I would say diplomatically. In the industry the complaint should not look like a complaint. One of the Corporate lesson.

    Good Luck, Suhas M

  178. @ Rajatha

    You can see the below as well for better understanding,

    1) Verification:
    “Are we building the product right”
    The software should conform to its specification

    2) Validation:
    “Are we building the right product”
    The software should do what the user really requires

    Requirement Study->Preparation of test plan->writing Test cases->(System study for assigned module->Identifying Test Scenarios->writing Test Cases by applying TC design Techniques->Send TC’s for review->fixing Review comments->Store TC in Test Case Repository)->prepare Traceability Matrix->Test Case Execution->Defect Tracking->test Execution Report.

    whereas Bug Life Cycle includes status like Opens by Test Engineer -> Assigns by Development Lead -> Fixed by Developer -> closed or ReAssign to Developement Lead.

    correct me if wrong.

  216. @poorni
    Mostly in accounting application ‘devide by zero error’ may occur. So to avoid such an error we can use zero testing or in the situation where the field is expecting a numeric value, say for example month should range from 1 to 12, in such situation inputing a zero may cause an error. If am misleading, Please let me know…

  226. @Jaykay

    After searching Google got the below answers (which may help you),

    Testing also has some limitations that should be taken into account to set realistic expectations about its benefits.

    Testing has to be selective because there are too many possible paths and test cases for any program to be tested exhaustively. Selective testing could result in some aspects remaining untested and some errors not being uncovered. The tests themselves may have bugs and result in errors remaining undetected. Although testing detects errors, it cannot be used to build quality. Quality has to be built into the software by using good software engineering practices such as reviews during analysis, design, and coding. Testing is not cost-effective because by the time tests can be executed, the errors introduced in the earlier phases amplify. Removing the errors later in the software process is more expensive.

    Software testing is a very important quality filter and needs to be planned taking into account its objectives, principles, and limitations. Planning for testing is essential because it is often performed at a stage when the project schedule and budget pressures are high. If testing is not planned for, it may be skipped, resulting in poorer quality of the software being delivered.

  235. hi,
    Want answer for questions like
    1) Why you want to shift the company / change to the company.?
    2)why should we give you the job.?

  236. @ Rashmi,

    Rashmi,
    What do you mean by right carrier?
    What I read your question is like, “Being a CS graduate, shall I go for testing job or shall I try for developement ?”
    If this is the question you have, it depends on your intrest. What you want to become. Testing is no less challenging than developement. And testing do include programming (scripting- shell, perl, python, jyton etc ).
    Also apart from developement, testing there are roles like DBA, SCM, S/S Admin, have you ever heard/thought of it ?
    And remember each field has got its own challenges.
    So it depends on what you are intrested in.

    And if the question its regarding the pay you get, believe me company pays good for the people who have got good knowledge. Atleast as a test engineer, never in my life I had to compare my pay with fellow developers. (till now)

  254. @poornima,
    Its far better to work and get some knowledge instead of sitting at home. Now as you have been asked to work as a .net developer, why not use this opportunity? Being a developer will never stop you do testing. Don’t you think that you can do better testing when you know the code- think of you can perform white box testing as well.

    1st decide yourself what do u really need to do i ur future dow the line 5 yrs..y 5 yrs is it takes 2-3 yrs to learn something then after that u would start enjoying wt actually u r doing..then execute that now .its look very strange you r working & they are not paying anything..then its better to sit @ home.if u have how and what to chose career i will guide u..but altimately decision will be urs..dont be like spoon feed baby..
    onces u hve decided u have plenty of way to do & do in bdst way since u already wasted some time learn from that its good to learn form mistake but it should not be repeted..
    for further assistence ping me rahulkumarbangalore@yahoo.co.in

  261. Please explain me about the status of the test cases. and is there any difference between status and stages of the test cases or they are same?
    please explain me about bug isolation as well.

  262. @smoke testing and sanity testing with example

    Thi sis most mcommon thing weather folks get confused..but i will give more clear example

    SMOKE–it checks health of build..weather health i sstable or not ..which decide weather further testing would be carried out or not..we check weather build is crashing or not..it is more systematic than SANITY..

    SANITY–it checks functionality of build at higher level..we carried out one teansection related to each module hare..it is less formal and less planned then SMOKE.

    if smoke fails sanity stops.Sanity tell weather it is “reasonable” enough to carry out testing or not..

    i hope this will clarify major doubt .
    Rahul!!!

  294. Hi Rajatha and Vishal,

    1. no match boxes are empty and each contains 10 sticks.

    If this is the scenario, then obviously, the match box which is smaller will weigh .9 g as against 10 g for the rest.

    2. Considering the current time as 11.40 : 23 hours, the time after 239999999999 hours will be 239999999999 .01 : 01 hours, i assume. Let me know if u find the right answer

    Cheer

  303. hi to all.

    I want to start my career in software testing. I have completed my PG in CS in 2009. I know the manual testing so is it necessary to join any course for software testing to get the job though I have the knowledge of manual testing.please help me.

  305. Dear Rajatha and Amit

    Traditional or manual testing methods offer only a partial solution to load testing. For example, you can test an entire system manually by constructing an environment where many users work simultaneously on
    the system. Each user works at a single machine and submits input to the system. However, this manual testing method has the following drawbacks:
    * it is expensive, requiring large amounts of both personnel and machinery
    * it is complicated, especially coordinating and synchronizing multiple testers
    * it involves a high degree of organization, especially to record and analyze results meaningfully
    * the repeatability of the manual tests is limited

    So bottom line is its illogical and kind of impossible( several users) to try load testing manually.

  311. A defect is for something that normally works, but it has something out-of-spec. On the other hand a Bug is something that was considered but not implemented, for whatever reasons.

    I have seen these arbitrary definitions:
    Error: programmatically mistake leads to error.
    Bug: Deviation from the expected result.
    Defect: Problem in algorithm leads to failure.
    Failure: Result of any of the above.

  321. Hi Rajatha,

    This is Suresh Working as a Test Engineer i have mentioned Diffence between Build, Release and Version as given below:

    Build is a Executable file which is handed over to the
    tester to test the functionlity of the developed part of
    the project.

    Release is that which we finally hand it over to the client of the project after the develpoment and testing phases are completed.

    Version is the number of releases made according to the addition of the requirement of the client.

    Eg of the Version [ Product] may be diff versions of
    Automation Tools like Win-Runner 7.0 , Win-Runner 8.0 etc

    Thanks

  343. In house virtual user environment can be created for this type of testing. Testing is done at the end of development. Still minor design changes may be made as a result of such testing.

  345. Hi Kumar

    Boundary value analysis method leads to a selection of test cases that exercise boundary values. It complements equivalence partitioning since it selects test cases at the edges of a class. Rather than focusing on input conditions solely, BVA derives test cases from the output domain also. BVA guidelines include:
    • For input ranges bounded by a and b, test cases should include values a and b and just above and just below a and b respectively.
    • If an input condition specifies a number of values, test cases should be developed to exercise the minimum and maximum numbers and values just above and below these limits.
    • Apply guidelines 1 and 2 to the output.
    • If internal data structures have prescribed boundaries, a test case should be designed to exercise the data structure at its boundary.

  350. Hey Chandan,
    No doubt for your qualification as such mentioned software testing as a career is a best option for you. But you should have to know basic knowledge of (oops,databases,o/s(unix/linux)).

  351. Smoke test
    The term derived from the practice of powering up the equipment after a piece of hardware or a hardware component was changed or repaired. If the component didn’t smoke, it passed the test.
    In software, the term smoke test describes the process of validating code changes before checking them into the source tree. Smoke tests are focused tests that ensure that changes in the code function as expected and don’t destabilize an entire build.

  352. I am Mukesh. I am new to this forum. i have been in manual testing for 1 year. Can I learn some automation tool ? which one has a better scope manual testing or automation testing?

  362. @ Kavitha,

    Testing is such a field which has got so many terminologies for the same thing. Sanity, Smoke, Sniff testing are almost the same. This tests are performed to test if the build/application is in a condition to test, if the build had all its basic functionality working, if you can continue exhaustive testing on the application.
    May be they are named after the different industries in which they are used, as smoke testing in used in the hardware industries, just to check if the basic things are working, if it is not, the chips will burn out and start emitting smoke – so its a smoe testing.

    thank you

  365. Hi Kavitha!!!

    If I am not wrong….

    Smoke test is carried out by developers…They perform this test before giving the build to the hands of testing team.

    Sanity test is carried out by testers….They perform this test after receiving the build from developers.

  366. Thanks for guiding me. Since the training for testing has not yet started i was going through the demo for webload by radview. i found it quiet interesting.

  372. Hi Riya,

    I have Mentioned Alpha Testing and Beta Testing as given below:

    Alpha Testing

    Tested at developer site by customer.
    Developer “looks over shoulder” and records errors & usage
    problems.
    Tests are conducted in a controlled environment.

    Beta Testing

    Conducted at one or more customer sites by end user of
    software.
    Live application environment cannot be controlled by
    developer.

  377. what is the differance between block&white box testing?and also tell me what r them advantages&disadvantages?

  379. @Rajatha

    Whatever the application it is, keep in mind that, we need to write functional test cases for that.

    Here the application is AntiVirus software, now we need to understand how it works, see the following,

    Antivirus software are computer programs that attempt to identify, neutralize or eliminate malicious software.

    Antivirus software typically uses two different approaches to accomplish this:

    1) Examining (scanning) files to look for known viruses matching definitions in a virus dictionary, and

    2) Identifying suspicious behavior from any computer program which might indicate infection.

    The second approach is called heuristic analysis. Such analysis may include data captures, port monitoring and other methods.

    Most commercial antivirus software uses both of these approaches, with an emphasis on the virus dictionary approach.

    1) Dictionary:
    In the virus dictionary approach, when the antivirus software looks at a file, it refers to a dictionary of known viruses that the authors of the antivirus software have identified. If a piece of code in the file matches any virus identified in the dictionary, then the antivirus software can take one of the following actions:

    a) attempt to repair the file by removing the virus itself from the file,
    b) quarantine the file (such that the file remains inaccessible to other programs and its virus can no longer spread), or
    c) delete the infected file.

    To achieve consistent success in the medium and long term, the virus dictionary approach requires periodic (generally online) downloads of updated virus dictionary entries. As civically-minded and technically-inclined users identify new viruses “in the wild”, they can send their infected files to the authors of antivirus software, who then include information about the new viruses in their dictionaries.

    Dictionary-based antivirus software typically examines files when the computer’s operating system creates, opens, closes, or e-mails them. In this way it can detect a known virus immediately upon receipt. Note too that a System Administrator can typically schedule the antivirus software to examine (scan) all files on the computer’s hard disk on a regular basis.

    Although the dictionary approach can effectively contain virus outbreaks in the right circumstances, virus authors have tried to stay a step ahead of such software by writing “oligomorphic”, “polymorphic” and more recently “metamorphic” viruses, which encrypt parts of themselves or otherwise modify themselves as a method of disguise, so as to not match the virus’s signature in the dictionary.

    An emerging technique to deal with malware in general is whitelisting. Rather than looking for only known bad software, this technique prevents execution of all computer code except that which has been previously identified as trustworthy by the system administrator. By following this default deny approach, the limitations inherent in keeping virus signatures up to date are avoided. Additionally, computer applications that are unwanted by the system administrator are prevented from executing since they are not on the whitelist. Since modern enterprise organizations have large quantities of trusted applications, the limitations of adopting this technique rest with the system administrators’ ability to properly inventory and maintain the whitelist of trusted applications. As such, viable implementations of this technique include tools for automating the inventory and whitelist maintenance processes.

    2) Suspicious behavior:
    The suspicious behavior approach, by contrast, doesn’t attempt to identify known viruses, but instead monitors the behavior of all programs. If one program tries to write data to an executable program, for example, the antivirus software can flag this suspicious behavior, alert a user, and ask what to do.

    Unlike the dictionary approach, the suspicious behavior approach therefore provides protection against brand-new viruses that do not yet exist in any virus dictionaries. However, it can also sound a large number of false positives, and users probably become desensitized to all the warnings. If the user clicks “Accept” on every such warning, then the antivirus software obviously gives no benefit to that user. This problem has worsened since 1997[citation needed], since many more non-malicious program designs came to modify other .exe files without regard to this false positive issue. Therefore, most modern antivirus software uses this technique less and less.

    3) Other approaches:
    Some antivirus software use other types of heuristic analysis. For example, it could try to emulate the beginning of the code of each new executable that the system invokes before transferring control to that executable. If the program seems to use self-modifying code or otherwise appears as a virus (if it immediately tries to find other executables, for example), one could assume that a virus has infected the executable. However, this method could result in a lot of false positives.

    Yet another detection method involves using a sandbox. A sandbox emulates the operating system and runs the executable in this simulation. After the program has terminated, software analyzes the sandbox for any changes which might indicate a virus. Because of performance issues, this type of detection normally only takes place during on-demand scans. Also this method may fail as viruses can be nondeterministic and result in different actions or no actions at all done when run — so it will be impossible to detect it from one run.

    Some virus scanners can also warn a user if a file is likely to contain a virus based on the file type.

  384. In interview first quest is that why do u want to come in testing. i did B.tech in comp sc what is the most suitable ans .

  386. Hi Mohit,
    Agile testing is a new concept introduced in software development market.I’m also working in sprints to test the modules which are part of the agile testing.
    In Agile methodology sprints are done for SDLC,Actually A sprint is a over all view of the project(going to build),It’s just a prediction. In Agile Testing A sprint sheet is prepared before the staring of any sprint, In which all the tasks are forth written.Here in sprint sheet tester’s role is also predefined ie- his total working hours and a particular day when the project or product will come to him for testing. The key fact in this methodology is that every body need to finish his work on predefined time,If any delay occures either in testing or code then sprint is marked to be delayed.Whole sprint is managed by Scrum master.
    As I found Results of Agile testing are very good.

    Do you think the 2006 CBOK should be sufficient or do I need to search further for 2008 CBOK

  418. hi…,

    What are the Testing Methodologies?
    Actually i got different answers from the different people.
    Can you please tell me the exact answer.

  419. @ seetharam,

    BVT is same as Sanity not smoke.

    Sanity will be done by Testers.

    after getting build from Developers tester will have a Sanity test, to accept the build.

    in sanity test: mainly he concentrate on major functionalitys are working fine or not.

  422. Hi Rahul,

    This is vaneeta here, Past two years i’m working in a software company, now i want to complete any certification. could u suggest me which one better for abroad

  423. in many interview there is fequently asked question why u choose ur carrier as a software tester. i did computer engineering so what is the most suitable answer for that

  426. What you said is exactly correct Maya. That is the worst institute I have ever seen. Their one Idiot is there my name Karna.. I dont know how they recruited that mad guy. U knw what they are showing in papers every thing is trash. They are fooling students. Usually on week ends they conduct fake interviews also. Please dont ever join in Adayar STC Technologies. U just loose some 40 to 50 thousands there..

  427. Hi,

    I am fresher. i have a question. people will keep 1-1.5 years for project. Can anyon tell me what actually happens in real time scenario, how much time it takes to prepare test plan, how much time it will take to write test cases, how much time it will take to execute test cases, per day how many test cases can be executed, in between how much time it will take to install the environment.

    please dont say it depends on the project

    by assuming that the project ios for 1 to 1.5 years can anyone tell me the whole testing process in real time step by step with time frame for each process.

    thanks in advance

  428. thanks vijay,
    am cleared of your answer.

    i need one more help that is.

    how to test Antivirus software. plz plz answer me coz i have been asked this same question in two interviews

    thanks in advance

  429. Hi,
    I am working as a Quality Assurance Professional . Somewhow i feel i am alloted more work as compared to my collegues. Not only this my work holds more responsibilities, complicacies. Where as my other team mates use their office time to update their knowledge and thus they are doubly benefited. I do enjoy my work a lot, i get to learn many things but i hardly find time to update my knowledge which i think is equally important. I am feeling frustated these days. How should i react to this situation?

  430. hi,
    I got call for QA post in xxx comp, and currently i am wokring as soft. implemention engineer so i dont have as such any practicle exp. in testing but in sometimes i do testing in my comp accroding to situation . so now i want to make carrier in QA .as i already done that course b4 4 yrs so pls tell me how can i prepare myself for QA interview.

  431. Hi Thishidy
    It will be really good if you specify your experience that too with same organization
    But be prepared with the answer why you are still in same designation
    Nothing much will be expected hope you will be an expert with the product that you have tested till now
    Thats more than enough
    Give a try and see how things goes
    All the best

  432. @Farheen
    co existance means testing the particular s/w with other s/w and we check whether it destroy the existing s/w or not..
    ya..co existance testing is more applicable for a product ..i mean to say i any company is going to release new product into market there tester needs to do all this ..i hpe u got wt u wanted..

  433. Hi i m cozi .i hv completed my B.Sc(Computer Application) and Diploma in S/W testing now i want to do PG .but i am not getting where i should try??

  434. @Manish
    U can ans
    Testing has become very important in SDLC now-a-days
    Because increase of users, software failures cause adverse effect to the cmpy n moreover the overall cost can be reduced if we find defects in early stages..so testing as its own importance as well a chanllenging task.
    So only I opted Testing.

  435. Hii umaa

    Do a search in google to find out the difference between Bug and Defect, you can find the correct answers

  437. Hello Sir/Madam,

    I would like to make a career in testing. could you please clarify my doubts.

    I completed PGDCA (2004) and M.Sc(IT) (2006) from Open University.

    I do not have software industry exp. I worked in BPO.

    1. Is software testing requires any programming backgroud.

    2. Is software testing and testing tools are same.

    3. I would like to undergo training in testing, which institute you prefer ?

    4. Is there any institutes provide training cum placement in Hyderabad?

    5. What are the tools, process, types required?

    Waiting for your early reply to my mail. Please do the needful.

    Yours faithfully,
