Software Testing Questions & Answers (Compiled from UPSC, SSC ,PSC ,IBPS previous question papers)

Testing Methodology define process, set of rules and principle which are follow by group concerned with testing the application. Here are 7 steps of testing methodology:

1. Test Requirement Analysis

2. Test Plan

3. Test Design

4. Test execute

5. Defect track

6. Test Automation

7. Test Maintain

Testing methods or we can say that Testing Techniques:

White Box Testing (Unit Testing, Integration Testing), Black Box Testing (System Testing, Functional Testing, Performance

Testing>Load testing>stress testing>volume testing & Security Testing), UAT (done by user/client with actual/live data)

In End-to-End Testing we take the application from the starting phase of the development cycle till the ending of the development cycle. We can simple say that it comes into play when we take requirement from the customer till the end of the delivery of the application. The purposes of End-to-End testing are:

- Validates the software requirements and checks it is integrated with external interfaces.
- Testing application in real world environment scenario.
- It involves testing of interaction between application and database.
- Executed after functional and system testing.
- End-to-End testing is also called Chain Testing.

Project based is nothing but client requirements. Product based is nothing but market requirements.

Example: stitching shirt is a project based and ready made shirt is product based.

Endurance testing: in this testing we test application behavior against the load and stress applies over application for a long duration of time. The goal of this testing are:

- To determine the how the application is going to responds for high load and stress conditions in the real scenario.
- To ensure that the response times in highly load and stress conditions are within the user’s requirement of response time.
- Checks for memory leaks or other problems that may occur with prolonged execution.
