Describe how to perform Risk Analysis during software testing.

Correct Answer: I have used following 4 types of Methodologies: 1 Boundary value analysis 2 Equivalence partitioning 3 Error guessing 4 Cause effect graphing

Correct Answer: Glass Box (or white box) testing is the process of giving i/p to the system and checking how the system processes i/p to generate o/p Black Box testing is the process of giving i/p to the system and checking if the system is giving correct o/p without bothering how the o/p is generated As we can see from the definitions, the role of black box testing is to ensure that the o/p generated is correct And role of white box testing is to ensure that methods used to generate the o/p are correct

Correct Answer: Key Challenges of s/w testing: 1 Testing considered late in project 2 Requirements not testable 3 Integration is done after all components have been developed: This might result into full testing not being covered 4 Complete testing is not possible

Correct Answer: The main task of Software Quality Assurance Group is to examine the overall s/w development process and to create and enforce standards and methods to improve it with the goal of preventing bugs from ever occurring With this definition, it is imperative that the QA helps an organization in continuous performance improvement and strive for perfection

Correct Answer: The word assurance means ?guarantee? So the Quality Assurance Group?s role is to guarantee that the product is of high quality They examine the overall s/w development process and their responsibility is to create and enforce standards and methods to improve it with the goal of preventing bugs from ever occurring

Correct Answer: Quality Assurance Manager (QA Manager) defines the process to be followed at each phase of SDLC He defines the standards to be followed, the documents to be maintained and sets the standard for the product Where as it is the Project Manager?s responsibility to ensure that the things defined by QA manager are being implemented He develops the product from start to finish with his team and ensures that the product which is to be rolled out is Defect free and it reaches the standards and views defined by QA Manager QA managers can audit the process for certain time periods which are being handled by the Project Manager

Correct Answer: Software testing is verifying if a software meets the customer's requirements; if it has high quality; if it is bug free and if it is fit for use Testing is important because it ensures that the product delivered is defect free which in turn emphasizes higher quality and proves to be cost effective

Correct Answer: choice of hardware configuration for an application

Explanation:

Configuration management is not concerned with the choice of the hardware configuration for an application.

 

Configuration management is concerned with the development of procedures and standards for cost-effective managing and controlling charges in an evolving s/w system.

It includes

1)software versions maintenance

2)controlling changes in documentation

3)controlling changes to the source code

4) management activities

Correct Answer: How much regression testing should be done.

Explanation:

Impact Analysis is used in software testing to define all the risks associated with any kind of changes in a product being tested.

Impact Analysis is nothing but analyzing the impact of changes in the deployed product or application. It gives the information about the areas of the system that may be affected due to the change in the particular section or features of the application.

 

Why Impact Analysis is done :

1. It is done to understand the possible outcome of implementing the change. Inducing too much functionality into a product can reduce the overall performance of the product.

2. To identify all the files, documents and models that might have to be modified if team decides to implement the change in product

3. To estimate the effort needed behind implementing the change

4. To identify the task required to implement the change

5. It will list the dependencies on a specific element

 

The impact is analyzed on Requirements, Design & Architecture, impact on Test and impact on schedule.

Correct Answer: TRUE

Explanation:

Configuration Management is a support for software in managing the different items in the product, and changes in them.
