QA homework

1. Exercise #1 : Finding defects

As we previously spoke on our last meeting, we identified that a defect can be described
also by a severity and a priority. Please give 3 examples each, where:
- priority is high & severity is low
- priority is low & severity is high
- both are high
- both are low

2. Exercise #2 : Writing test scenarios - 30 minutes

Create test cases for a mobile app(for reference you can use shazam app, the song
discovery feature, sharing the song through social media apps & lyrics being displayed on
the device)
- here include elements like priority of considered tests (prioritization - most important
tests are done first - slide 11)
- acceptance data (slide 11)
- think of acceptance criteria, coverage criteria (slide 11)
- consider everything :)
