1. What is main difference etween Testing Techi!ues and Testing Methodolog"#
Testing methodology is nothing but the method your using in your company for eg: waterfall method or V model or spiral model etc.Testing techniques is like black box, white box etc

Then Tester will retest that bug and see that it is reproducable or not if it is not reproducable then he will close the bug, if its reproduce the same bug then keeps it in reopen status.

After finding the bug,as a tester u should discuss with team lead and explain clearly why it is bug and send to de#eloper.(f de#eloper is accept ur bug then no problom, if he is not accept the bug, then the problem will arise,at that time u explain about the bug, and show screen shots and explain the client requirements to de#eloper. this is the way to interact with lead and de#eopler.

"moke testing is test whether the build is installed properly or not and is ready for further ma1or testing.
,+. What is the difference etween sanit" testing and smo&e testing#
"anity testing is carried after smoke testing to check whether the ma1or functionality is working properly or not to proceed further testing. for ex: when a build is passed the smoke test, the sainty test is conducted on it by 1ust na#igating to the hyper links,or ma1or functional whether the links are opening properly or not.Jere there is will be using more critical test cases for testing the "anity testing.

we perform adhoc testing.testing the ma1or functionalities,testing on the functionalities which are mainly #isible to the user.
/xploratory testing is testing of an unfamiliar applications. The test scripts would not be prepared before hand. Test case design and execution are done concurrently. Adhoc testing is intended to look for defects randomly. This can be carried out by any one by /xploratory testing is a thoughtful approach and dri#en by logic. (t is an intellectually challenging process where one is limited by oneDs own imagination and understanding of the software being tested. (t pro#ides enough scope to extend the reach of testing to certain areas that cannot be easily accommodated in test cases.
oundary Value Analysis5 VA6: The concept behind this is to partition program domain in a meaningful way to generate data sets that span the partition are determined. This creates test cases around the boundaries of the #alid data. The #alues that can be passed are exact boundary #alues, K)B lowest boundary #alue and K)B highest boundary #alue 'onsider a text box which can take a maximum of 4<< characters. Then the domain that can be considered is from : to 4<<. The #alues that can be passed into the text box for testing would be :, 4<<, H,4,4<; and 4<=. /qualence $artitioning: This is to partition set of all possible inputs into classes that recei#e equi#alent treatment.

(f consider the same example, the equi#alence classes would be: 'lass:: Values from : to 4<<, : and 4<< inclusi#e 'lass4: Values less than : 'lass7: Values more than 4<< /rror ?uessing: This technique is used to find defects using the experience of the tester. 'onsider the abo#e example, the texbox is intended for characters only. The tester can easily gi#e numbers or any special characters for that text box and see whether the application is throwing an exception or not.
VBmodel is the mostly used testing methodology. The concept of VBmodel is to #erify and #alidate at each phase of "%+' so that early identification of defects happen at each stage. 3ay you can add some more points about VBmodel to this when answering.
