PROJECT SPECIFIC QUESTION

1.how many test cases can you write per day?

No of test cases that I can write per day,depends on clarity of the requirement and
complexity of the requirement
But in my current project
Initially I used to write 4 to 6 test case documents, each test case covering 15 to 20
scenarios,
But later after few days, number of test cases that I used to write got doubled, that is 6-
9 test cases. number of test cases increased because,
a. By the time I had better knowledge of product.
b. by the time I was used to it.
c. i started reusing the test cases.

2.how many test cases you can review per day?

Varies from project to project
In my current project to review one complete test case it generally takes 20 mins so in 1
hour I can review 3 test cases .so in a day I work for 8 hours ,so I can review 24 test case
in an average ,I can review 20-24 test cases.

3.How many test cases can you execute per day?

In my current project,To execute 1 test case it roughly takes 10 mins,so in one hour I can
execute 6 test cases
In a day if Iam working for 8 hrs,on an average I can execute anywhere between 40 to
60 test cases.

4.How many test cases you alone have written?

Tell anywhere between 180 to 340 test cases.
I joined after 5 sprints, by the time I joined already there were many test cases. I joined
and wrote Test Cases for few new features and some of the modified features.So I have
written 180 to 340 test cases.

Tell anywhere between (1500 to 3000 (ERP CRM))

18
6.How many features are there in your current project?

40-90 features

7.How many test engineers are there in your project?

3-9

8.What is the duration of your current project?

Tell anywhere between 8 months to 1.5 years.

9.How many cycles of testing you have performed

Each test cycle is of 5 days
We will have 21 working days in a month
So 21/5=4
12 months of execution 10×4=40 I have executed 40 test cycles

In every sprint initially we write testcases for all the stories,which are there in the
sprint backlog,that roughly takes 5 to 7 days,
Out of 21 working days left out is 14-15 days now
Each cycle takes,3 days.so 15/3= 5 cycles
So in every sprint we will have around 4 to 7 test cycles

10.Can you write a test execution report that you have prepared?
Write the same execution report covered in the class ,just put your project application
modules.

11.Can you write 2 integration test cases that you have written in your project?
Be ready with atleast 2 test cases,each with 5 to 8 sceanrios
