Ask your interviewer for the coffee cup requirement. A tester should have a knowledge the customer requirement and according to the requirement tester will derive the test cases for the testing. But If the Interviewer is unable to give you any requirement then you can go with below test cases -
- Volume of the coffee cup ? [ functional ]- Weight of coffee cup ? [ functional ]- Upper surface area of the coffee Cup ? [ functional ]- With handle without handle ? [ functional ]- Grip of the cup ? [ functional ]- Any Leakage ? [ functional ]- How long that cup will keep the coffee in required temperature ? [Stability]- Reusable ? [ functional ]- Breakable / Unbreakable ? [ functional ]- Can is cup stands properly in jerking condition ? how much force required to make the cup down ?- Color of the coffee cup ? [ UI ]- Grip of the cup ? [ UI ]- how essay to sip the coffee brew ? [UI]- How easy to clean the cup ? [ UI ]FromPlano

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,...

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

Concurrency Testing
In what scenario concurrency testing is done? Give real time scenario for the same.
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.

Checklist for Recovery Testing
What is Recovery Testing? In what ways we can do it? List the checklist for Recovery Testing.
Read Best Answer
Editorial / Best Answer
kurtz182- Member Since Nov-2009 | Jan 1st, 2010
Recovery testing is the forced failure of an application to determine whether it can recover without impaired functionality or data loss. The breadth and depth of recovery testing depends on the mission-critical nature of the application.
Some examples are:1) Take a database down while an application is sending transactions and then bring the database back up again. Verify there is no loss of data and that the application resumes in a way that users will know how to proceed.
2) While an application is running, restart the computer and validate there is no data loss and that users can proceed without negative side effects.
3) While application is receiving data over a network, unplug and reinsert the network cable to validate the application's ability to continue receiving without loss of data.
4) Restart the computer while a browser has a number of sessions running simultaneously and then determine if the browser is able to recover all of them.
