Quantitative Metrics
What are the Quantitative Metrics collected in testing projects?

Editorial / Best Answer
kurtz182- Member Since Nov-2009 | Nov 18th, 2009
A Test metric is a standard means of measuring some attribute of the software testing process. They establish test progress against the test schedule and may be an indicator of future results. Metrics are produced in two forms – base and derived metrics.
Examples of base metrics:
# New test cases
# Regression test cases
# Test cases run
# Test cases not run
# Passes
# Fails
# Test cases under investigation
# Test cases blocked
Examples of derived metrics:
% Test cases complete
% Test cases passed
% Test cases failed
% Test cases blocked
% Test defects correctedsrinivasulub1981

Test Database Upgrade
Suppose a DB has just been upgraded from Oracle 10g to 11. What testing factors will you look at?
Read Best Answer
Editorial / Best Answer
kurtz182- Member Since Nov-2009 | Nov 30th, 2009
1) Test the upgrade itself. Do problems arise? Has anything new been introduced that needs to be accounted for? If so, make sure it works properly.
2) Run functional tests that rely on the database to ensure they function properly.
3) Run performance tests to ensure data is obtained within specified performance parameters.
4) Ensure data integrity is maintained after upgrade. Contstraints, for example, should still be handled as expected.
5) Run load and/or stress test to ensure the upgraded database still handles user load and performs well under the most business-critical resource-intensive circumstances.
6) Test the Oracle client. Ideally, any issues will have been caught in the upgrade test, but it is a necessary step in the process.virgosls

Testing Approach
When you ask users to test software, what approach should they take?A. They should scan the user manual looking for situations of interest which they then test, menu option by menu option.B. They sit at the terminal, dreaming up situations randomly visiting all the features of the system to ensure they get broad coverage of the system.C. They work out what business processes are supported by the system,...

Editorial / Best Answer
kurtz182- Member Since Nov-2009 | Nov 13th, 2009
The only reasonable answer is D) Users cannot test software effectively.
Users typically test a system during the Beta release of a product. Though companies should not rely only on this type of testing, it is useful in uncovering defects at little cost to the company. Throughout this period, users perform their day-to-day activities and are not thinking about product quality. They rarely if ever scan the user manual looking for situations of interest to test, so the answer is not A). They generally don't dream up situations randomly to visit all of the features of the system, so the answer is also not B). They don't have access to the company's business processes, so the answer is not C).mithr17

Remove Defects in Production
How many times it is costlier to remove defects in production than removing them before coding?a) 10 timesb) 50 timesc) 100 timesd) 200 times
omanjunath
- Nov 30th, 2009
It depends on the bug type.Like Sev1 means most of the business is loss because of this bug.Fixing time may be less but damage is huge. So we cannot estimate the cost per bug in Production. It depends on time to time.
srinivasulub1981
- Nov 28th, 2009
HII feel it's depends on the strength of the bug and strength of application, if application is big and flound so many issues, then we cant expect the time, some times they need to do the dev from scratch... so it's all depends.CNU

Concurrency Testing

Read Best Answer
Editorial / Best Answer
kurtz182- Member Since Nov-2009 | Nov 6th, 2009
Concurrency testing is performed when there are two or more scenarios being tested on the same application at the same time. A common form of concurrency testing takes place when two users are logged into the same application and a tester wishes to determine how their activities impact one another. It is commonly employed to test web sessions and state management.
