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

@#278,
Yes, Swapna is correct.
And also you can have environment variables(.xml or .txt file),
1) Declare all these kind of variables in a text file (variables.txt),
strURL = “http://192.166.10.104/login.jsp”
strBrowser = “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe”
2) In your QTP test, File >> Settings> Environment >> User-defined >> Export >> Browse this file variables.txt >> Apply, now you can see all the variables defined in the variables.txt in the Environment area.
3) Use the below statements in your QTP test,
strTempURL = Environment.Value(“url”)
systemutil.Run strBrowser,strTempURL
Hope this helps.

@ 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

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.

@ Dipti ,
Samples questions you will get from google itself.
http://www.google.co.in/search?q=software+testing+intrview+questions&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
We can’t be sure that interviewer will ask only these question. Try to find out some details about the company from About us page, Collect the technologies which they are using. Even though we have more experience in our resume, we may lack of theoretical knowledge of those cases, so brush up yourself with some basic question like what is testing, QA?, QC?, Verification?, validation?, unit?, integrity?, system?, acceptance?, load?, stress? volume? Equivalence partitioning? boundary value analysis? error guessing? automation? manual & automation? some tools knowledge?, which bug tracker u have used?, used of bug tracker? bug? error? fault? mistake? technologies used like, Java, .net, php, Cake Php and & environment like OS Commerce, Jumla, LAMP etc., SDLC?, STLC? testing models? and some live experience may help you to answer lively many questions. Having DB knowledge is more advantage nowadays…

Dear Ms.Prachi (#290),
Hope it should be “Planned Passed” instead of “Planned Passed Target”!
Purely speaking,
No, There is no need for a test engineer to estimate the “Planned Passed” (may be “Planned Passed Target”).
If under any circumstances, If required, But that should not be based on previous testing experience. But based on the SRS/PRD.
The only significance of this column in test report is, Just to estimate percentage of pass criteria before actual execution.
This is not required actually. As you are discussing about this, means that, may be your client is looking for that column as well – I guess!
A simple test plan consists of:
1. Name (project_version)
2. Test Name (field/functionality name)
3. Design step (Summary of the test case)
4. Description (Actual steps to be followed)
5. Expected Result
6. Actual Result
7. Pass/Fail Criteria
8. Priority
9. Estimated Time (average time to execute the test
case, it will be by default 30 min to each test case).
9. Platform (CLI/BBI)
10. Notes (any notes if required)
If client is willing means, Then no other way, We have to add.

Govardhan Reddy M,

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.

Hiii….
I need d details of ticking box testing, mutation testing, class testing n GUI testing………
kindly mail me at shilpa30987@gmail.com………..thanks
Hi Jyoti,
Interesting, I never heard this – Ticking testing.
But after googling it, got to understand that, “Ticking box testing”, which involves not doing any testing.
Sounds like its a part of UAT, where customer can have a list of checkpoints with Y/N ‘Tick-boxes’ to validate the application by the end user. That means, there is NO testing involved.
I am just wondering where did you come across with this question.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have a small doubt. Please clarify.
I’m doing manual testing on a web app. In the same website there are two different pages for logins, each of it having different purpose.
For example, http://www.abc.com/xyzlogin.aspx and http://www.abc.com/pqrlogin.aspx. I logged in to both the pages in the same browser, but different tabs or windows.
Now, if i log out at one of the sites, the user at the other site also getting logged out, even though the login names are different.
Is this the behavior of any other sites in general? Is it acceptable?

What information need not be included in a test incident report:
a) how to fix the fault
b) how to reproduce the fault
c) test environment details
d) severity, priority
e) the actual and expected outcomes
if ur answer is ‘e’ then why cant it be ‘a’. please explain?
@Khajappa,
do u have exp in other area/fields?? if u have then think abt the expecting in S/w testing environment.
if u are a fresher never think about salary. getting a chance is a gud thing. remember one thing
“if u have talent, money will follow u, if u dnt have it u have to follow every thing/one”
the course fee structure depends on the institute and duration is not more than 2months.
wish u all the best for ur future.

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

Dear Ms. Jyoti (#297),
FYI that, It is referred as ticking-box testing which is
a widely used philosophy of testing, in which no testing is done after the project is fairly well debugged — the program is given to customer’s for trial and acceptance (sd/- Robert Kruse)
Hope now you are clear – I guess!

Is it easy work to find bugs in an application?
Easy when we do these ;
1: Check for inconsistency within the product
2: Check for the Inconsistency on the purpose of the product
3: Check for inconsistency with the product versions
4: Check for inconsistency with the image a company is trying to portray
5: Check for inconsistency with a comparable product
6: Check for inconsistency with claims that are made about the product
7: Check for Inconsistency with user expectations on the product
8: Check for the Inconsistency in regards to legal requirements.
9:Talk to developers on how they have coded a piece of function(s). This may sometimes reveal scenarios
that they may have been missed out and hence chances of finding bugs becomes higher for those
scenarios.
10: Give rest to your brain and eyes. Tired eyes may miss, an easy to see bugs.

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..
hi all,
can anyone let me know, what is the difference between Test Scenario & Test Condition.

Adhoc: testing with no proper documents, testplan,test data.. etc

.what is the diff between the bug&error.def for thread testing?
Dear Mr. Venkatesh (# 326),
In 7 months, I hope you’re not thorough with manual testing concepts. Before going to automation, Just make sure that, You’re all most learnt all testing process pertaining to manual instead of just running ahead for automation. Just advice.
If you’re interested in functionality testing, Then go ahead with QTP tool, If you’re interested in performance testing, Then go ahead with LoadRunner.
Decision is yours. As I see (based on requirement, Calls are little more for QTP rather than LoadRunner. If you’re really interested in performance, Forget about calls, Just go ahead and learn LoadRunner. Because, Your interest can break the interviews though calls are little less).
Good luck.

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.
tell answer plzz abt this problem why good man gets scolds why bad man gets happy

Previously SQTL named as Software Quality Testing Labs. Here you can get full address all over india branch.
http://www.sqtl.com/areas-of-operations.php
Reg Test plan you can visit http://jaanujeeva.blogspot.com/2009/01/test-plan.html
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 …

Hey deeksha #278, its very simple
Have a file lets say constants.vbs
define like this
url = “www.yahoo.com”
In your script lets say test.mts, include the above file and use it
for eg
systemutil.run “iexplore.exe”, url
so when ever there is a change in the url value,just go update constants.vbs file
Hope this helps.

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
– Penetration testing (also called pen testing) is the practice of testing a computer system, network or Web application to find vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit.
Pen tests can be automated with software applications or they can be performed manually. Either way, the process includes gathering information about the target before the test (reconnaissance), identifying possible entry points, attempting to break in (either virtually or for real) and reporting back the findings.
The main objective of penetration testing is to determine security weaknesses. A pen test can also be used to test an organization’s security policy compliance, its employees’ security awareness and the organization’s ability to identify and respond to security incidents.
Penetration tests are sometimes called white hat attacks because in a pen test, the good guys are attempting to break in.
Pen test strategies include:
Targeted testing
Targeted testing is performed by the organization’s IT team and the penetration testing team working together. It’s sometimes referred to as a “lights-turned-on” approach because everyone can see the test being carried out.
External testing
This type of pen test targets a company’s externally visible servers or devices including domain name servers (DNS), e-mail servers, Web servers or firewalls. The objective is to find out if an outside attacker can get in and how far they can get in once they’ve gained access.
Internal testing
This test mimics an inside attack behind the firewall by an authorized user with standard access privileges. This kind of test is useful for estimating how much damage a disgruntled employee could cause.
Blind testing
A blind test strategy simulates the actions and procedures of a real attacker by severely limiting the information given to the person or team that’s performing the test beforehand. Typically, they may only be given the name of the company. Because this type of test can require a considerable amount of time for reconnaissance, it can be expensive.
Double blind testing
Double blind testing takes the blind test and carries it a step further. In this type of pen test, only one or two people within the organization might be aware a test is being conducted. Double-blind tests can be useful for testing an organization’s security monitoring and incident identification as well as its response procedures.

Hi Ruchi
Yes offcourse u can but hav to get prepared by going 4 some rite classes.
I completed B.Sc (Computers) if i will do the course for testing tools it will help me .Iam fresher so i will get the job
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.
Regards,
Suhas.

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.

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.

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

Hi All,
All the conversations here are very useful. I have a question:
I am a QA(Manual) since 9 months.My package is 1.5lk pa
There is an oppurtunity in my brothers company which is mobile testing on different OS used. The module is a stock product used in different OS of mobiles like blackberry,iphone etc.
They need a Tester (Developer side Tester).
He says i get a chance to write code in Jsp,Servlets and paid 3lk pa.
But my sceniors here say its not useful as QA track is different and higher than Tester.
Someone kindly suggest me if waiting in QA track for automation is better or Should i move to my brothers company?
The project i work is being automated by next month. So i may get a chance in moving to automation and am planning my certification in HP(QTP)
k i got the answer by searching the google
and the answer is “testing the software continuously throughout its development”
means”It is a conceptual framework for software engineering that promotes development iterations throughout the life-cycle of the project.”

Performanc testing can be done by manually and by using loadrunner.
if your company dosn’t have loadrunner, your company can do it manually, but the results wont be concurrent. it varies from one iteration to another iteration.
consider a product has planned to do testing in 10 days and it should be released on the 11th day immediately?Due to some reasons product has got delayed in reaching to testing by 7 days. Now we have left with only 3 days . Now tell me is it possible to test the application and release the product within 3 days. If so how will u perform testing.
Hi All
If we have a ongoing application, like Hotel reservation system which is under development since last 2 years and will be under development for next 2 years which automation tool should we use for it.

Hello Sir
Its personal but still i would like to ask u plz give me roght suggestion
I have complited MCA in 2006 but bcz of some problem i am not in touch of sw devlop .
Now i would like to do sw testing corse
Can I?
Is there is scope in this industry that i get job instantly?
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!

Nice website For those Who Have Lots of queries in testing application…
Ticking-Box Testing:
——————–
It is referred as ticking-box testing which is a widely used philosophy of testing, in which no testing is done after the project is fairly well debugged — the program is given to customer’s for trial and acceptance (sd/- Robert Kruse)
Mutation Testing: Developer does, By injecting mutants (small changes in a program), Just to see how far the program will malfunction (effect of the bug, severity of the bug). Here small changes in program refers to, Making the program with some errors.
Class Testing: Part of developer testing. (Unit testing). Goal is to make sure that, Least case, Each class has to tested once (class has to be called and tested).
GUI Testing: Usability, Compatibility, Stress, Performance, Load, Cross platform, Check boxes, Broken links, Spell checks, Help document, Browser standards.

Hi Dear,
I m new in testing field but you have such a excellent knowledge in his field thanks for sharing us.
Hi Shruti,
Itz …Mercury Tool
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
pls send any documents abt software testing

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.
what is d difference between functional requirement & non functional requrement
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.

qtp and winnrunner and mannual testing now
i am looking for the job.
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.
Hi Ganesh
please check out for STG or STC there in Chennai or take help of google to search one of it.

Dear frns i am hunting for a job in testing field.i have sound knowledge in manual testing.plz give the sites or any references to apply the same.
@ Ash – jaanujeeva@yahoo.co.in
@ 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.

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/

Hi All
Hi Vijay
This is the 1st time I am visiting your blog, its very impressive. It is really nice of you to provide this online help 🙂
I need some serious suggestions from you. I recently got placed in a highly reputed MNC and am working in application support for 1.5 months (trainee) and I find it very frustrating, specially the different shifts and the monotonous work (plus the office politics):( When I was in college I enjoyed testing and learning about it. I feel that I should do a job which I enjoy. I wanted to go into testing but my company offered me support job. Can you please suggest me what I need to do to switch to testing. They say I cant switch before 1 year. And things will change a lot in 1 year –
-I will have a support job tag( we seriously dont work on any technology, just the tools)
-As I couldnt work on any technology, what will I do?? The interviewer after 1 year will simply kick me out.
-I am 2011 passed out, so applying in other mnc will not work. And I like my current company. I want to work here only, as a tester.
Do I need to do any course? I am IBM RFT certified, other than that I know unit testing (I have done unit test case on my college project). I am not sure as how testing in corporate works. Please enlighten me on that and procedure to switch as soon as possible.
Thanks a lot..

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.

If you have a domain knowledge and 3+yrs of experience nobody will look for your degree whether you have done in regular or corress. (except few company like TCS and Infosys) Keep on search. You will surely get a job. 1 advice don’t leave your current job until you get another. You will get the Sample professional resume in the web.
Best Luck.

2. User cannot do copy.
3. User can paste.
4. Right click should not work.
5. Field lenght validation.
6. Combination of strings/characters validation.
7. User entered data selection.
8. Selection of password strings using “shift + end/home”, and copying (by pressing “control + c”) and opening a notepad/wordpad/excel etc and doing paste (control + v), Should not work.
9. Password should get encrypted as per the encryption algorithm. (md5/sha). This testing can be done, by capturing the frame.
If you know, Then try to say/convey what you know.
Don’t guess on your own, Because interviewers are intelligent enough to ask few more questions based on your answers.
If you don’t know, Better say, I don’t know.
Good luck.

Questions on QC and AUTOMATION TESTING
Actually i am having the interview with 1.5 years of experience with in one week.So please mail me
prashanth.be06@gmail.com
Dear Ekta (# 329, # 330),
A very valid question. Yes, If commercial tools are not available definitely we’ve to go for free wares. So,
The solution is Badboy! tool. Using Badboy! tool, However it supports 1000 users (concurrent users), But recommended is 999 users only. So, For one more user, We need to run the Badboy! tool second time from the same client/user.
Means from one Badboy application, 999 users and from the second Badboy application one more user. Of course, At a time, We can load 1000 (simulate 1000 users) in a single Badboy! application, But the application may hang/crash – And needs the system to be reboot.
As we’re talking about interview, So just you can tell that, Using Badboy! – Which is a free tool, We can carry out the same testing instead of LoadRunner.
Have a great day ahead!
Good luck.

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.

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…
Software testing is to check the correctness, completeness and quality of the software product and its main intention is to find defects. In order to check whether the actual result matches the excepted result.

Ruchi,
I am extermely sorry that i couldn’t give u any contact details of Banglore institue beacuse i never had been to bangalore. I from pune. If you could find Seed Infotech institue in Banglore then u can join it or SQTL institute.
@ Krishna,
1) SRS-> This is the spec (Functional spec) given by client/Vendor to develop/test the applicaiton, Based on this spec we will define HLD (usually Arch/sr.dev are the one who defines this-Based on the company strategy)
2) Project Arch-> Your question is incomplete. Let me know what project you are working on.
You need to explain about your project Arch, Where its 2-tier/3-tier/N-tier (How the communication happens, in simple words its like a blue-print of your project)
@pankaj

Dear Ms. Shilpa (# 324),
Ticking-Box Testing:
——————–
It is referred as ticking-box testing which is a widely used philosophy of testing, in which no testing is done after the project is fairly well debugged — the program is given to customer’s for trial and acceptance (sd/- Robert Kruse)
Mutation Testing: Developer does, By injecting mutants (small changes in a program), Just to see how far the program will malfunction (effect of the bug, severity of the bug). Here small changes in program refers to, Making the program with some errors.
Class Testing: Part of developer testing. (Unit testing). Goal is to make sure that, Least case, Each class has to tested once (class has to be called and tested).
GUI Testing: Usability, Compatibility, Stress, Performance, Load, Cross platform, Check boxes, Broken links, Spell checks, Help document, Browser standards.
Good luck.

Any question one mail ask me,
I would like to know if anyone here has ‘Planned Passed Target’ in Test Execution Report? All I have in my report is Planned Execution, Actual Execution, Actual Passed , Actual Failed. DO I need to estimate the planned passed target based on the previous testing experience? If yes what is the significance on having Planned Passed Target in the report?
Why do we need to project planned passed scripts target?
Thanks,

what are the challenges you faced in your old company?
I want answer for this question….
I have few questions in winnrunner plz anybody help me “If the application has GUI changes between previous test and current test process,how to identify them” this is my question plzzzz answer me
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

Dear Mr. Gohul Krishnan (# 297),
1. Writing a document (Test Design Document) with
little information about the product/project/process,
In which new features are added.
2. Means that, Just based on the HLD but not based on
the LLD (because some times LLD won’t get authored
by development team due to lack of time or because
of busy with some other development tasks with
high priority).
3. At a sudden, If the test engineer is asked to do
testing in another project which is little relevant to
the current project but not ease to understand easily
that too by providing little period of time to read,
understand, author test plan, execute, run and
report.
4. Often it happens, When one of the vital team
member left the company all of a sudden may be
because of nice opportunity with another employer
or due to some personal reasons.
During such times, Test engineer of the same team
will be asked to carry out those tasks even though
these tasks are new to this test engineer (how ever
minimal documentation will be provided to
understand what is what of that feature BUT WITH
NO SUFFICIENT TIME).

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

Could anybody provide me some online broken link checker?
Hi
#301,302 Thx swapna , vijayD..
one more question is
suppose for eg URL is 192.168.10.18/application1/form1 , then next link changes it to 192.168.10.18/application1/form 2 …n so on
in this if 192.168.10.18 changes to 192.168.10.20 and rest remain same i.e 192.168.10.20/application1/form1 , 192.168.10.20/application1/form2
so only parent part of URL is changed and rest of the link remain same
so only parent part of URL can be defied in file or as an envirnoment variable in QTP and rest application1/form1 and application1/form2 need not change
so this can be handled in QTP if so please let know
It will be of g8 help
Thx

Hi,
I am having experience of 1.5 years in manual tesing.
Can i get some pdf (or) documents for automation testing.
My email id hisathish2008@gmail.com
can any one tell what are the similarities between tester and developer?
Developers should have the profound technical knowledge while for Testers it is not obligatory. For example, for black box testing knowledge of programing is not the must-have.
Developers receive client’s requirements in accordance to which they write a code. As for Testers, they check the code of application using automated testing, regression testing, functional testing
Development is a unique process while testing contains Independent Validation & Verification.
Developers fix attention on ways of software work. Testers are looking for reasons why software fails to work properly.
Developers realize the problems in the shortest possible time while testers report about the problems.
Developers know internals of the product. Testers have knowledge in domain filed, they are aware of some information about project.
Developers work after modeled client’s pre-requisites and Testers – after modeled user behavior.
Developers make and improve the software. Bugs and the grounds of their appearance are discovered while Software product testing.
Developers’ goal is to make software free of bugs and errors. Tester are trying to find out all possible bugs.
Is there any opening in testing plz inform to me

Hi
This is an IBM Interview Question …
When you find bug, you are going to Assign to Developer, developer has fixed that bug and send back to testing once again the bug was re-open, but thing is that when u r going to re-assign into developer he will not agree because it is working fine with developer side, but not working testing side,
here what kind of u r going to ask for the developer, what kind of tricky question you are going to ask to the developer
pls any one can answer this question…..
i looking forward to answer as soon as possible ..
with regards
krishna
Hi Krishna,
This is a general scenario which happens in most of the cases. The following questions can be asked to the developer:
-> In which version has the developer checked this bug?
-> What kind of data has he used to validate this bug?
-> You can ask the developer to share the screenshots along with the date and time stamp
-> Has the new changes been successfully deployed for testing (or in the testing environment)?
And one of the best ways before going to developer is:
-> To revalidate the bug in testing environment
-> Capture the step by step execution along with the failure message & document it

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.

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 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,
Tiger2k.

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.

@ 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)
