Smoke testing : To check whether the functions needed are present or not
Sanity testing : To check whether the functions needed are working fine or notshreethakur

SMOKE testing is done after receiving the new build. The major functionalities are tested to ensure that the software is acceptable for further test.SANITY testing can be done at the end of functional testing to ensure that all the major functionalities are working correctly

The main purpose of Software testing, I think is not to remove the bug but to find the bug. Also ensuring the application works correctly as per the requirements and thereby increasing the quality of the product and increasing the confidence in the product.

Its Quality. Testing is a Quality Control (QC) activity. Software testing is the process of finding the defects so as to improve the quality of software. It doesnt mean that the software is 100% defect free but the quality will be high after validating when compared before testing.

it is not just the developer OR the Tester is responsible for integration testing, Both of them are equally responsible according to their responsibilities. The developer who writes the code is responsible for performing the integration of modules w.r.t. code ( should be understood as part White Box Testing ) Then after checking the modules for their integration it will be passed on to the Q.A. team, Here it will be the responsibility of the Q.A. team to check the integration b/w the modules according to the requirement specifications.

Integration Tester(Integration QA Analyst) is responsible for the Integration. Its up to the role of the tester. But in our concern for Integration QA Analyst is the responsible person.

Bug Fixing Priority
Which of these is the most important one to fix first, and why?
a. The word "BlackBerry" is misspelled on the startup screen of the application.b. The application always rejects a user's first attempt to launch the application; subsequent attempts are successful.c. The application crashes and brings down the database server when it tries to add a record that contains an uncommon string, "123abc456xyz789".

Priority will be given based on stage of life cycle,
1) Assume that application is middle stage (I mean to say build is 3rd one and still few more to come) and you are testing the application to accept it (Smoke/sanity Testing) for further testing I would like to give the preference as B, A, C Why I am giving last preference to C is when I am giving uncommon string then the application is getting crash, but as of now we have alternative and that is positive value, so with positive value we can work with the application Next why A is given second preference black berry Its company Name, not a simple title of application
And lastly why I am giving first preference to BI am not able to launch the application in first attempt then it is a major issue, while accepting the build (smoke/sanity testing) if you are not able to launch then definitely we will reject the build.
2) Assume application is completed and ready for use, then also I will give B, A, C Let me tell you in general way, Suppose you are a customer and interested to purchase Blackberry mobile and if it is not launching in first attempt, do you purchase that piece, no one will purchase, and coming second one company Label, Company goodwill is linked to it, and with this mistakes goodwill will be degraded so second preference, and coming to last one we have an alternative and that is we can give positive values with which that particular functionality will work Please correct me if I am wrong.

Bug is fixed according to its priority i.e
1) Very High: Immediate fix needed, block further testing.
2) High: Must get fixed before the product is released.
3) Medium: Should fix if time permits.
4) Low: Would like to fix but can be released as it is.Reddy

I hope that the following ans is helpful... 1) In these scenarios first we have to fix B, why because with out lancing of the application we cant do anything. 2) Secondly we have to fix A. why becau...

Congratulations! You just won a copyright on the new term "test bug"
There is no bug such as a test and dev bug.
Bug is any behavior that deviates from the requirement. Requirements are the so called "expected" result in test cases. -
Best to solve defects - requirements, plan, design, code / testing phase?
Read Best Answer
Editorial / Best Answer
Answered by: Satya Prakash
- Oct 4th, 2005
In any phase, the sooner we see a defect, the less is the cost spent on rectifying the defect. It becomes a costlier affair in later stages. The best phase is Requirements phase. When the defect is found in later phases, it costs more for its correction.
rohan.satpute
- Feb 6th, 2011
As we are aware, in SDLC later the defects identified, costlier is the Project Delieverable. Earlier the defect identified & resolved, cheaper is the costing. So, as per the provided option, Best time to resolve the defects is during the Requirement Phase.

How much time is/should be alloated for Testing out of total Development time based on industry standards?
rohan.satpute
- Feb 6th, 2011
It depends upon following Factors:1. Type of Project/Delieverable.2. Scope of Testing.3. Types of Testing to be Performed.Testing can vary for 30%-50% of total Development Time. I have considered the case of Manual Tesing here. Automation can reduce the end delieverable timelines.
kurtz182
- Dec 16th, 2009
The answer to this question depends on the industry, software development model, company, and project. In my company and on most my projects, we allocate roughly 35 percent of total development resources on our test effort.
