What does COTS represent?

purpose of wich is allow specific tests to be carried out on a system or
network that resembles as closely as possible the environment where the item
under test will be used upon release?

What is exploratory testing?
Exploratory
testing is a hands-on approach in which testers are involved in minimum
planning and maximum test execution. The planning involves the cre-ation of a
test charter, a short declaration of the scope of a short (1 to 2 hour)
time-boxed test effort, the objectives and possible approaches to be used. The
test design and test execution activities are performed in parallel typi-cally
without formally documenting the test conditions, test cases or test scripts.
This does not mean that other, more formal testing techniques will not be used.
For example, the tester may decide to use boundary value analysis but will
think through and test the most important boundary values without necessarily
writing them down. Some notes will be written during the exploratory-testing
session, so that a report can be produced afterwards.

What is failure?
Deviation
from expected result to actual result

While at the stages of QA, QC and other testing phases what are the main
documents that are referred?
The
Quality related testing and testing phase in general requires each and every
aspect of the project from customer specifications to developer designs. So the
documents that are used can be summed up as:
ñ
SRS & Business requirements doc.
ñ
Functional/Technical documentation that was initially prepared.
ñ
Documents pertaining to the various modules – used for White Box testing.
ñ
Use case & other representative documents for program flow.
ñ
Test plan and other test case/script related documents.

How should the test plan be drafted?
The
test plan and its specification depends on the methodology adopted for
development and testing of the project. But speaking on a top most level, the
test plan should consist of all the different types of tests that have to be
carried out to give the best assessment of the product. The compliance,
production phase tests, regression test methods/scripts requirement, usability
test, verification and validation criteria related tests should all be put into
the test plan that is prepared.
3.
What kinds of bugs usually occur and are identified in initial tests?
The
major bugs that come up during the tests are the memory related issues in the
software and these come up in the initial load testing or regression testing.
There may be a minute error somewhere in the product which can lead to a very
intensive impact on the overall application. These are the bugs that can also
be easily identified and rectified. Tests should be carefully drafted to
identify such memory related errors.

What is the purpose of software testing?
The
software testing is the phase that gives us the overall picture as to the quality
of the product and the performance related aspects of the program. The software
testing phase is the one by which the developers can make sure that what is
built is conforming to the customer’s requirement (verification) and that
everything is working as expected and intended to (validation).
5.
What are the pros and cons of being a Tester?
The
software testing can be done only if you have a overall understanding regarding
the project. This way software tester gains immense knowledge regarding the software,
from the customer and the user perspective, which even the developer may not
have in some cases. The cons are overcome by the pros of the job, so I think it
is good thing to be involved in the software testing. Opportunities for
learning and improvement are many in this field of software testing.
6.
How can you define Quality Assurance?
The
Quality Assurance refers to the phase of the project development where we
examine the product and put into a sequence of various tests to determine if
the product is fit for the specified purpose. The QA aims at attaining a
specific quality level to the overall product. This cannot assure it but can
maximize the quality attainable in the product by doing the right corrections
to the final developed product.
