1.differentiate between QA and QC?

QA:It is process oriented

it envolve in entire process of software developement.
Preventin oriented.
QC:
It is product oriented.
work to examin the quality of product.
Dedection orientd.
2.what is a bug?
A computer u! is an error" flaw" mistake" failure" or fault in a computer pro!ram that
prevents it from workin! correctly or produces an incorrect result.
3.what is a test case?
#estcase is set of input values" execution preconditions"expected results and execution
postconditions" developed for a particular o$ective or test conditons" such as to exercise a
paticular pro!ram path or to verify compliance with a specific requiremnt.
4.What is the purpose of test plan in your project?
test plan document is prepared y the test lead"it contains the contents like
introduction"o$ectives"test strater!y"scope"test items"pro!ram modules user
procedures"features to e tested features not to tested approach"pass or fail criteria"testin!
process"test deliverales"testin!"tasks"responsiilities"resources"schedu
le"environmental requirements"risks % contin!encies"chan!e mana!ement procedures"plan
approvals"etc all these thin!s help a test mana!er undersatnd the testin! he should do %
what he should follow for testin! that particular pro$ect.
.When the relationship occur between tester and de!eloper?
developer is the one who sends the application to the tester y doin! all the necessary code in
the application and sends the marshal id to the tester.#he tester is the one who !ives all the
input&output and checks whether he is !ettin! reqd output or not.A developer is the one who
works on inside interfacin! where as the tester is the one who works on outside interfacin!
".when testing will starts in a project?
the testin! is not !ettin! started after the codin!.after release the uild the testers perform
the smoke test.smoke test is the first test which is done y the testin! team.this is accordin!
to the testin! team.ut" efore the releasin! of a uild the developers will perform the unit
testin!.
#.$f a bug has high se!erity then usually that is treated as high priority%then why do
priority gi!en by testengineers&project 'anagers and se!erity gi!en by testers?
'i!h severity u!s affects the end users ....testers tests an application with the users point of
view" hence it is !iven as hi!h severity.'i!h priority is !iven to the u!s which affects the
production.Pro$ect mana!ers assi!n a hi!h priority ased on production point of view.
(.what is the difference between functional testing and regresion testing
functional testin! is a testin! process where we test the functionality&ehaviour of each
functional component of the application...i.e.minimi(e utton"transfer utton"links etc.i.e we
check what is each component doin! in that application...
re!ression testin! is the testin! the ehaviour of the application of the unchan!ed areas when
there is a chan!e in the uild.i.e we chk whether the chan!ed requirement has altered the
ehaviour of the unchan!ed areas.the impacted area may e the whole of the application or
some part of the application...
1).do u *now abt integration testing%how do u intregate diff 'odules?
inte!ration testin! means testin! an application to verify the data flows etween the
module.for example" when you are testin! a ank application "in account alence it shows the
)**+as the availale alence.ut in dataase it shows the ),*+. main thin! is -inte!ration
done y the developers and inte!ration testin! done y the testers-
11.do u *now abt configuration 'anage'ent tool%what is the purpose of 'aintaining
all the docu'ents in configuration 'anage 'ent tool?
It is focused primarily on maintainin! the file chan!es in the history.
Documents are su$ected to chan!e .or ex: consider the #est case document .
Initially you draft the #est cases document and place it in /ersion control tool0/isual 1ource
1afe for ex2.#hen you send it for Peer 3eview .#hey will provide some comments and that
document will e saved in /11 a!ain.1imilary the document under!oes chan!es and all the
chan!es history will e maintained in /ersion control.
It helps in referrin! to the previous version of a document.
Also one person can work on a document 0y checkin! out2 at a time.
Also it keeps track who has done the chan!es "time and date.
4enerally all the #est Plan" #est cases"Automation des!in docs are placed in /11.
Proper access ri!hts needs to e !iven so that the documents dont !et deleted or modified.

3".what r the client side scripting languages and ser!er side scripting languages
client side scriptin! lan!a!es are

1erver side 1criptin! lan!ua!es are
Perl"K1P"A1P"P'P..etc
Clent side sciptin! lan!ua!es are useful to validate the inputs or user actions from userside or
client side.
1erver side 1criptin! lan!ua!es are to validate the inputs at server side.
#his scriptin! lan!ua!es provide security for the application. and also provides dynamic
nature to we or client server application
cleint side scriptin! is !ood ecause it won6t send the unwanted input6s to server for

,.Capture the defect screen shots
7.Document the proper inputs that you are used to !et the defect in the derfect report
7.send the defect report with screen shots"i&ps and procedure for defect reproduction.
efore !oin! to this you must check your computer hard ware confi!uration that is same as
developper system confi!uration.and anlso check the system !raphic drivers are properly

Codin! phase developer will develop the actual code usin! the source code and they
release the application to the testee
#estin! phase they deploy their test cases to that application and prepare a u! profile
document if there is any defect&u! in that application and send it ack to developer"
developer may rectify and releases tha application as ne(t uild and if the u! not undestand
it will send to the pr$ect lead in the delivery phase the sr test en! can deploy the application
in the client environment

work with AA to know moreaout the system.

reflected in the application.
Dxample: A new column is added in the tale. 'ere we test y !ivin! values in the
application and value has to e stored in the tale.
#3.What are the reasons why para'eteriDation is necessary whenload testing the
Web ser!er and the database ser!er?
Chen you test your applications" you may want to check how the application performs the
same operations with multiple sets of data. .or example" suppose you want to check how
your Ce site responds to ten separate sets of data. 5ou could record ten separate tests" each
with its own set of data. Alternatively" you can create Data #ale parameters so that your test
runs ten times" each time usin! a different set of data.
#4.difference between sretagic test plan A test plan?
srate!ic test is a or!anisational level term which is applied for all the pro$ects in the
or!anisation with small customisations
test plan is pro$ect level term and which can e applied for that specific pro$ect only.
test plan is a srate!ic document which descries how to perfoem testin! in an efficient
effective and optimsed way.Quality lead test lead can prepare this test plan
strate!ic test plan is a already or new test plan which can w used in the future for another
