NON-Voice Basic Interview Questions Part-5



58. Faults found should be originally documented by who?

By testers.

59. Which is the current formal world-wide recognized documentation standard?

There isn’t one.

60. Which of the following is the review participant who has created the item to be reviewed?

Author

61. A number of critical bugs are fixed in software. All the bugs are in one module, related to reports. The test manager decides to do regression testing only on the reports module.

Regression testing should be done on other modules as well because fixing one module may affect other modules.

62. Why does the boundary value analysis provide good test cases?

Because errors are frequently made during programming of the different cases near the ‘edges’ of the range of values.

63. What makes an inspection different from other review types?

It is led by a trained leader, uses formal entry and exit criteria and checklists.

64. Why can be tester dependent on configuration management?

Because configuration management assures that we know the exact version of the testware and the test object.

65. What is a V-Model ?

A software development model that illustrates how testing activities integrate with software development phases

66. What is maintenance testing?

Triggered by modifications, migration or retirement of existing software

67. What is test coverage?

Test coverage measures in some specific way the amount of testing performed by a set of tests (derived in some other way, e.g. using specification-based techniques). Wherever we can count things and can tell whether or not each of those things has been tested by some test, then we can measure coverage.

68. Why is incremental integration preferred over “big bang”integration?

Because incremental integration has better early defects screening and isolation ability

69. When do we prepare RTM (Requirement traceability matrix), is it before test case designing or after test case designing?

The would be before. Requirements should already be traceable from Review activities since you should have traceability in the Test Plan already. This question also would depend on the organisation. If the organisation do test after development started then requirements must be already traceable to their source. To make life simpler use a tool to manage requirements.

70. What is called the process starting with the terminal modules ?

Bottom-up integration

71. During which test activity could faults be found most cost effectively?

During test planning

72. The purpose of requirement phase is

To freeze requirements, to understand user needs, to define the scope of testing

73. How much testing is enough?

The answer depends on the risks for your industry, contract and special requirements

74. Why we split testing into distinct stages?

Each test stage has a different purpose.

75. Which of the following is likely to benefit most from the use of test tools providing test capture and replay facilities? a) Regression testing b) Integration testing c) System testing d) User acceptance testing

Regression testing

76. How would you estimate the amount of re-testing likely to be required?

Metrics from previous similar projects and discussions with the development team
