15. Describe common problems of test automation.
The commom problems are:
1. Maintenance of the old script when there is a feature change or enhancement
3. The change in technology of the application will affect the old scripts
16. What types of scripting techniques for test automation do you know?
5 types of scripting techniques:
Linear
Structured
Shared
Data Driven
Key Driven
17. What are principles of good testing scripts for automation?
1. Proper code guiding standards
2. Standard format for defining functions, exception handler etc
3. Comments for functions
4. Proper errorhandling mechanisms
5. The apprpriate synchronisation techniques
18. What tools are available for support of testing during software development life cycle?
Testing tools for regressiona and load/stress testing for regression testing like, QTP, load runner, rational robot, winrunner, silk, testcomplete, Astra are availalbe in the market. -For defect tracking BugZilla, Test Runner are availalbe.
19. Can the activities of test case design be automated?
As I know it, test case design is about formulating the steps to be carried out to verify something about the application under test. And this cannot be automated. IHowever, I agree that the process of putting the test results into the excel sheet.
20. What are the limitations of automating software testing?
Hard-to-create environments like ?out of memory?, ?invalid input/reply?, and ?corrupt registry entries? make applications behave poorly and existing automated tools can?t force these condition - they simply test your application in ?normal? environment.
21. What skills needed to be a good test automator?
1.Good Logic for programming.
2. Analatical sklls.
3.Pessimestic in Nature.
22. How to find that tools work well with your existing system?
1. Discuss with the support officials
2. Download the trial version of the tool and evaluate
3. Get suggestions from peopel who are working on the tool
23. Describe some problem that you had with automating testing tool.
1. The inabality of winrunner to identify the third party control like infragistics controls
2. The change of the location of the table object will cause object not found error.
3. The inability of the winrunner to execute the script against multiple langauges
24. What are the main attributes of test automation?
Maintainability, Reliability, Flexibility, Efficiency, Portability, Robustness, and Usability - these are the
main attributes in test automation.
25. What testing activities you may want to automate in a project?
Testing tools can be used for :
* Sanity tests(which is repeated on every build),
* stress/Load tests(U simulate a large no of users,which is manually impossibele) &
* Regression tests(which are done after every code change)
26. How to find that tools work well with your existing system?
To find this, select the suite of tests which are most important for your application. First run them with automated tool. Next subject the same tests to careful manual testing. If the results are coinciding you can say your testing tool has been performing.
27. How will you test the field that generates auto numbers of AUT when we click the button
'NEW" in the application?
We can create a textfile in a certain location, and update the auto generated value each time we run the
test and compare the currently generated value with the previous one will be one solution.
28. How will you evaluate the fields in the application under test using automation tool?
We can use Verification points(rational Robot) to validate the fields .Ex.Using objectdata,objectdata
properties VP we can validate fields.
29. Can we perform the test of single application at the same time using different tools on the same
machine?
No. The Testing Tools will be in the ambiguity to determine which browser is opened by which tool.
30. Diffenece between Web aplication Testing and Client Server Testing. State the different types
for Web apllication Testing and Client Server Testing types?
which winrunner 7.2 versioncompatiable with internet explorer, firefox,n.n
31. What is 'configuration management'?
Configuration management is a process to control and document any changes made during the life of a project. Revision control, Change Control, and Release Control are important aspects of Configuration Management.
32. How to test the Web applications?
The basic differnce in webtesting is here we have to test for URL's coverage and links coverage. Using
WinRunner we can conduct webtesting. But we have to make sure that Webtest option is selected in "Add
in Manager". Using WR we cannot test XML objects.
33. what are the problems encountered during the testing the application compatibility on different
browsers and on different operating systems
Font issues,alignment issues
34. how exactly the testing the application compatibility on different browsers and on different
operating systems is done
Please Send Your Suggetion
35. How testing is proceeded when SRS or any other docccument is not given?
If SRS is not there we can perfom Exploratory testing. In Exporatory testing the basic moduole is
executed and depending on its results, the next plan is executed.
36. How do we test for severe memory leakages ?
By using Endurance Testing .
Endurance Testing means checking for memory leaks or other problems that may occur with prolonged
execution.
37. what is the difference between quality assurance and testing?
Quality assurance involves the entire software development process and testing involves operation of a system or application to evaluate the results under certain conditions. QA is oriented to prevention and Testing is oriented to detection.
38. why does software have bugs?
1.miscommunication
2.programming errors
3.time pressures.
4.changing requirement
