2. What is QAI ? :
QAI stands for Quality Assurance Institute that proposes a QAI model that is to be followed by all testing process to achieve world class testing.
3. Define Work Bench.
Work bench is the diagrammatic representation of the activities and tasks that are carried out during a testing process by the tester. It is characterized by Input, Task, and output.
4. What are the various defects? :
Missing, wrong, variance and Extra.
5. State the Economics of testing.
Too much of testing is a crime, Too little testing is a sin.
6. What is job shop? :
Job shop creates products of same type but with different characteristics. This is what normally done in software development.
7. Define functional testing
Functional testing is called White box testing. This process of testing will test the functionality of the entities not the internal structure and logics.
8. Define structural testing.
This is also black box testing. This tests the internal logic and structure of the entities.
9. Expand SDLC.
SDLC stands for system development life cycle.
10. Define SQA.
SQA stands for Software Quality Assurance. This is a measure of assuring the quality of the software products.
11. Name any three criteria in the QAI model? :
Planning, use of tools, Proper training .
12. Define regression testing.
This is another form of stress testing. This testing is done when any modification is done in the software.
13. Name any Two testing tools.
** Acceptance criteria
** Boundary value analysis
14. Name the staff associated with testing.
Developer, Analyst, Tester, mathematician, It management CEO etc.
15. What is V testing? :
V testing stands for verification and validation testing.
16. What is testing strategy? :
Testing strategy includes the test factors and the testing phases. Here the strategy issues are decomposed into tactical issues.
17. What is a test methodology? :
Test Methodology includes the various methods that are employed for testing. They include like compliance testing, acceptance testing etc.,
18. What is test checklist? :
The check list contains the questionnaire for conducting the tests. Each and every problem associated with the instance will b e considered in the checklist.
19. What is Unit testing? :
Unit testing is done when a part of the code or function or single
transaction is to be tested. This test can be nested in any kind of testing.
20. What is the responsibility of the tools manager? :
They are responsible for the selection of tool, purchase, training etc., They help in the implementation of the appropriate tool for the desired process.
21. What is the eleven step testing process?
This is a verification Validation testing process. Where the first five steps are the verification tests and the rest is the validation testing process.
22. Name any two steps in 11 step testing process.
They include testing software installation. Report test results etc.,
23. What are the parts of workbench?
Input, Do procedures, Check procedures, Deliverables and guidelines.
24.What are the 3 tasks done in requirements phase testing?
• preparing risk matrix
• Test factor analysis based on the test policy
• Conducting requirements walkthroughs
25. What are the 4 tasks done in developing test plan?
*Form test team
* Understand project risks and concerns
* build test plan
* inspect test plan
26. Name a cost estimation tool.
ESTIMACS is an automated tool for cost estimation in testing and development.
27. Name some project risks?
Reliability, Authorization, access control problems.
28. Name the participants in the test plan inspection.
Reader, moderator, Recorder, author and inspector.
29. Name 2 test factors in the requirements phase testing.
They include compliance, Ease of use, portability etc.,
30. Name the methods for cost estimation.
They include constraint methods, percentage of hardware method , parametric modeling etc.
31. Write about cost quantification.
Cost quantification is done for the amount t of error encountered and the probability of testing to be done.
32. How to verify the correctness of the estimates?
* Recalculation of the estimates
* Compare the estimates remove redundancy.
* Prudent person test.
33. What is life cycle testing?
Life cycle testing is also called V testing which starts from the beginning of the development with verification and validation tests.
34. Name the factors that influence the software system.
The factors include size of the software complexity, quality etc.,
35. Name the steps followed in worker test bench?
These are the steps followed by the tester in their work bench. Overview, objective, concerns, workbench, input, do procedures, check procedures Output guidelines.
