Did u come across STUBS and DRIVERS?How did u use these in u r project?

Stub : A piece of code that simulates the activity of missing components.

Driver : A piece of code that passes test cases to another piece of code.

i will give a gen example….suppose u have 3 modules…A B C…A n B r 100% comp….and C is only 50% comp….u r under pressure to comp in a time frame…what u do is u know to
build the mod C u need at least 15 days…so u build a dummy mod C which wil take 1/2 days…This is STUB now once all the mod A B and C(dummy) r ready..u integrate
them to see how it works..This is a DRIVER

how to choose a test automation tool?

we have to choose depends upon the application complexity & delivery time.

The scenario is “while reviewing requirement docs(SRS)if u find or feel any requirement is not meeting the client’s requirements” whom do you report?and what is your action?

When the System Requirement Specification does not meet the clients requirements, it should be intimated to the PL( who prepares the SRS and should be documented in the Test log & analysis of data which should be discussed in the Management Review Meeting.
The action is the SRS should undergo a revision thereby updating SRS to match with CRS

When does metrics validation occur? 1. Throughout the life cycle 2. During the test 3. After the test 4. During requirements definition 5. After the final software release Justify ur answer with simple explanation.?

Throughout the life cycle - TO identify the lag & overcome

what is Concurency Testing?

admin — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 04:35:08 +0000

Multi-user testing geared towards determining the effects of accessing the same application code, module or database records. Identifies and measures the level of locking, deadlocking and use of single-threaded code and locking semaphores.

What is the point of reference by which something can be measured? 1. Benchmark 2. Baseline 3. Metric 4. Measure 5. Indicator?

Baseline

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CHOOSE AUTOMATION TOOL?

admin — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 17:53:59 +0000

We use automation only for version wised projects, means if the project comes up with different versions. Once we write the scripts for one version, we can use these scripts with mulitple versions with minor chages.
So the main advantage of automation is:
1. Saves the time.
2. Saves money.

I. A code inspection is held for new code. II. A code inspection is held for reused code. III. A code inspection is held after the first compilation. IV. A code inspection is held after the first error-free compilation. Which of the statements above are true of code inspections? 1. I and IV 2. I, II, and IV 3. I, II, and III 4. II and IV 5. II and III?

WHAT IS MEAN BY DESIGNING THE APPLICATION AND CODING THE APLICATION?

admin — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 17:18:31 +0000

Designing and Testing are two different phases in a software development process(SDLC).
1. Information Gathering
2. Analysis
3. Designing
4. Coding
5. Testing
6. Implementation and Maintenance.

If u want answer in Testing terms means STLC, designing test includes preparing Test Strategy, Test Plan and Test Case documents, and testing means executing the test cases and generating Test Reports.

Desining the application as per the requirements Designing the application is nothing but deriving the functional flow, alternative flow,How many modules that we are handling,data flow e.tc
two types of designs are there
HLD:
In this designning team wil prepare functional architecture i.e Functional flow
LLD: Inthis designing team will divide the total application into modules and theywill derive ligic for each module
Coding:writing the cource code as per the LLD to meet customer requirements
