1. What is Test Plan?
A: A test plan is a systematic approach to testing a system such
as software. The plan typically contains a detailed
understanding of what the eventual workflow will be.
The test plan defines the objectives and scope of the testing
effort, and iden tifies the methodology that your team will use to
conduct tests. It also identifies the hardware, software, and tools
required for testing and the features and functions that will be
tested. A well-rounded test plan notes any risk factors that
jeopardize testing and includes a testing schedule.
2. What is Testing Life Cycle?
A: A collection various activities performed in executing a
software application, it consists of the following stages.
1. Requirements stage
2. Test Plan
3. Test Design.
4. Design Reviews
5. Test Cases preparation.
6. Test Execution
7. Test Reports.
8. Bugs Reporting
9. Reworking on patches.
10. Release to production.
3. What is Test Strategy?
A: The Test Strategy is the plan for how you are going to
approach testing. It is like a project charter that tells the world
how you are going to approach the project.
4. What is difference between QA and QC?
A: Quality Assurance: A set of activities designed to ensure
that the development and/or maintenance process is adequate to
ensure a system will meet its objectives.
Quality Control: A set of activities designed to evaluate a
developed work product.
5. What are the domains you have worked on?
A: BFSI (Banking, Financial Services and Insurance)…
6. To whom you report defects?
A: A defect is generally reported to the test lead and lead will
intern assign it to the development team, but at times the defect
is assigned directly to the developer by the test engineer.
7. What is showstopper?
A: A hardware or especially software bug that makes an
implementation effectively unusable; one that absolutely has to
be fixed as early as possible.
8. What are the severity levels you give for a defect?
A: We follow four levels of severity for a defect,
Critical, High, Medium and low (cosmetic)
9. How are you tracking defects in your project?
A: Using defect tracking tool (Quality Center)
