1. What are key Performance Indicators?

Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are financial and non-financial metrics used to quantify objectives to reflect strategic performance of an organization. These are also called as Key Success Indicators.

2. Explain the difference between error, fault and failure? A human action that produces an incorrect result is error. A manifestation of an error in software is a fault. A fault, if encountered may cause a failure. 3. What is meant by a peer review? Reviewing the test cases written by a team member by the other members in the team is called Peer Review. 4. We have Coffee, Tea, and milk vending machine. If we put 5 Rupee coin milk should be the output. 2 Rupee- coffee should be the out put. 1 Rupee - Tea should be the out put. How many Test cases we can write? Specify them. Total of 9 test cases Input 5 Rc = Milk should be output. Input 5 Rc = Coffee should not be the output. Input 5 Rc = Tea should not be the output. Input 2 Rc = Coffee should be output. Input 2 Rc = Milk should not be the output. Input 2 Rc = Tea should not be the output. Input 1 Rc = Tea should be output. Input 1 Rc = Coffee should not be the output. Input 1 Rc = Milk should not be the output 5. Define the terms Driver and Stub? Driver is a temporary program and it connects to sub module to activate. Driver is known as calling program. Stub is a temporary program and sends back control to main module instead of sub module. It is also known as called program. 6. What is a prototype? A sample model of an application without functionality is called prototype. 7. Explain Verification and Validation?

Verification involves reviews and meetings to evaluate documents, plans, code, requirements and specifications. Validation is determination of correctness of a final program with respect to its requirements. 8. What is a test policy and what is a test strategy? Testing policy defines testing objective to be achieved. Test strategy document defines testing approach to meet corresponding testing objective. 9. Prepare test cases for a computer shut down? 1. Successful selection of shut down in Start menu. 2. Successful selection of shut down using Alt + F4 3. Successful shut down operation. 4. Unsuccessful shut down due to a process in running 5. Successful shut down through power off. 10. What is the difference between bug severity and bug priority? Seriousness of the defect with respect to functionality is called bug severity. Importance of the defect with respect to customer level is called bug priority. 11. Explain SDLC and STLC? SDLC is software development life cycle or System Design Life Cycle and STLC is software testing life cycle 12. What is the difference between regression testing and retesting? A test engineer reexecutes tests on modified build to ensure bug fix work and occurrence of side effects is called regression testing. Executing a particular task with different sets of test data is called retesting. 13. What is debugging? The process of finding and removing the causes of failures in software is called debugging. 14. Explain the life cycle of a bug? Detect defect ---- Reproduce defect --- Report defect ---- Bug fixing ---- Bug resolving ------ Bug closing 15. Explain Manual Vs Automation testing? A tester conducts any test without using third party testing tool is called manual testing. A tester conducts a test with the help of testing tool is called automation testing. 16. What do you mean by impact and criticality of a test? Impact of a test indicates test repetition. Criticality of a test indicates complexity in manual test to be applied.

17. How will you test a stapler? Open the stapler and Put standard stapler pins and try using the stapler. Put 2 bunch of stapler pins to chk the spring is able to take the load Put 1/2 bunch of stapler pin and chk if spring is moving properly and stapler is working properly. Bend one side of stapler pins and chk if it staples.

18. What are the test cases for lift? Test cases for a lift: 1. Capacity of lift 2. Height of lift 3. Width of lift 4. Security provided (red indicator and alarm) 5. Name of the company. 6. Space provided 7. Number exceeds than specified what security is provided 8. Whether it comes to ground floor, top floor 9. Programming provided by using PLC (top-down or can again come down) 10. If it is empty. 19. What is the best tester to developer ratio? 3:1 20. What is the difference between an inspection and walkthrough? A walk through is an informal meeting for evaluation or informational purposes. A little preparation is usually required. An inspection is more formalized than a 'walkthrough', typically with 3-8 people including a moderator, reader, and a recorder to take notes. The subject of the inspection is typically a document such as a requirements spec or a test plan, and the purpose is to find problems and see what's missing, not to fix anything.
