project Status Report' .

2. Interim Test Results are like :

Please let me know if I am wrong.

3. According to the CBOK the correct ans to our confusion is :--
>
> FIVE dimensions of risk
>
> Technology integration
> Size and complexity
> System environment and stability
> Criticality / mission impact
> Reliability and integrity
4.
Effectiveness - Doing right things
Efficiency - Doing the things right way
Test efficiency - No of defects found / Total number of test cases
Test effectiveness = No. of defects found through Test Cases / Total Defects ( Ad hoc Testing +
Defect found through test Cases )

1. You are a tester for testing a large system. The system data
model
is very large with many attributes and there are a lot of
interdependencies within the fields. What steps would you use to
test
the system and also what are the effects of the steps you have
taken
on the test plan? OR
You are the test manager for about to the system testing. The
development team says that due to change in requirements, they
will
be able to deliver the system to you for testing 5 working days
after
the due date. You cannot change the resources (Work hours, days,
test
tools). What steps will you take to be able to finish the testing
in
time?

Solution
• Improve Supervision: More reviews of artifacts or program
means Stage containment of the defects.
• Creation of Base Line Data which is accurate and updated.
• Strict Change Management: Correct versions are tested.
• Phase wise / module wise approach for the testing.
• More focus on Module and Integration testing.
• Add more resources.
• Work With Independent Test Team.
• Automation for regression testing.
• Rank the functionality as per risk and concentrate more on
critical functionality testing
• Effective Communication - Reporting of critical defects
(Using defect tracking/management system) and resolution plan
discussion with development team
• Traceability matrix of changed requirement and Impact
Analysis documents creation
• Test cases updating as per Changed requirement
• Exit criterion is achieved , release product

2. There is one application which runs on a single terminal.

There is
another application that works on multiple terminals. What are
the
tests techniques you will use on the second application that you
would not do on the first application?
Solution
• Concurrency Test
• Update and Rollback
• Response time and Server connectivity

3. Explain give examples of the following black box techniques.

a. Boundary Value testing
b. Equivalence testing
c. Error Guessing
Solution
Boundary Value Analysis: If Valid Input is 100
Boundary + 1 = 101
Boundary Value = 100
Boundary – 1= 99
Equivalence Partitioning: If Valid Input is in the Range of 10
and 15
Invalid Below the Partition = 8
Valid In the Partition = 12
Outside of the Partition = 18
Error Guessing: Its testers experience to test the functionality
creating such a data which may cause failure.
Eg – Feb 29, 2001

4. What are the product standards for?

a. Test Plan
b. Test Script

Solution:
Test Plan:
• Scope
• Objective
• Assumptions
• Risks
• Roles and Responsibilities
• Test Environment
• Tools
• Schedule
• Test Design
• Test data Management
• Communication

Test Script:
• Sequence
• Source : Data Entry Operator
• Script Event : Enter Invalid Input
• Evaluation Criterion : Error Message Should be Displayed
• Comments : Help regarding valid Input

6. Your company is about to roll out an E-Commerce application.

It is
not possible to test the application on all types of browsers on
all
platforms and operating systems. What steps would you take in the
testing environment to reduce the business risks and commercial
risks?
Solution
• Scoring of browsers and OS, High ranked Browsers and OS do
Brower compatibility test for them
• State that it does not support to other OS and browsers, if
risk is involved.
• Commercial Risk : Ensure competitive look and feel , Easy
Navigation
• Business Risk : Ensure Transaction Correctness ,Security
(data), transactions, roll back procedure etc
• Proper Authorization in Place
• Response time (performance)

7. Your organization believes that acceptance testing is a good

quality process for any IT organization. Your customer would like
to
do acceptance testing, but does not know how to do it. He
requests
you to create an acceptance test plan. Build a sample acceptance
test
plan and state 2 well defined acceptance criterions

Solution
- Project description

- User roles and responsibilities
- Acceptance criteria
- Test cases to be executed

Acceptance Criterion
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----
-------------------------
No Acceptance req Critical
Result Remark

• To ensure that it meets user requirements
• To ensure that it is fit for use
• To reduce cost of quality by delivering defect free product
• To achieve customer satisfaction
