Boundary value analysis is done on range values and Boundary Values for any field should be consider with Minimum value -1, Minimum value, Minimum value +1,Middle value,Maxmium value -1, Maxmium value, Maxmium value +1

Some testing responsbilities which do not relate with software include:1) Establishing processes to organize and control the test effort2) Building and maintaining relationships with others3) Handling issues and projects that involve hardware

Testing responsibilities are: To check that the software should be bugless, accourding to our standard, within budget, should satisfy client's need. Overall main thing is client's satisfication, do as client said, if possible.

Plan Test Cycles
How do you plan your test cycles in your current position?

kurtz182- Member Since Nov-2009 | Dec 4th, 2009
A test cycle includes both a testing effort and a development effort to fix defects and deliver a new build to the test team. Elements of a test cycle that consume time are:
1) Software development effort to resolve defects and deliver a new build to test
2) Re-test bug fixes
3) Regression tests
4) Functional tests
In order to plan test cycles in a software development project, I would need to answer the following questions:
1) How much time do we have to fully test the software from the time this software is first introduced to test through the time the software is considered of good enough quality to release?
2) How stringent is the company's exit criteria? The more relaxed the exit criteria, the fewer test cycles will be required to satisfy it.
3) What are the number of test cases? The larger the number, the more time will be required to execute them during each test run.
4) What is the average duration required to execute test cases? The greater the number of steps and the greater their complexity, the longer it will take to execute test cases on an average.
5) How many testers will execute test cases? The fewer the number of testers involved, the longer it will take to complete each test cycle.
6) How many defects do you expect to find during each test cycle. The greater the number of defects, the more time will be required to verify them during test cycles.
7) How much time will be required for the development team to resolve defects between test cycles? Consider these factors: a) complexity of software, b) expertise of development staff, and c) the quality of communication between test and the
development staff.
8) How firm is the target release date? Will influential stakeholders allow this date to slip if significant issues arise?
9) What is the liklihood that major revisions of the software will occur during the testing phase of the project?
After receiving answers to these questions, I would plan a software project's test cycles.
Example:
1) Testing begins Feb 1, 2010 and ends Mar 31, 2010. We've got two months to fully test this application.
2) The software must have no more than 25 open defects and none of them can be Priority1 or Priority2.
3) There are 1000 test cases
4) The average tester can execute 50 test cases per day.
5) We have 5 testers.
6) Our company has been creating similar applications for some time and we do not expect an inordinate number of defects.
7) The development team can resolve issues and deliver a new build to testers in 3 days.
8) Marketing has already released a press release announcing the release date of the application, so this deadline is firm.
9) The company has done its up-front planning and we are confident the requirements are accurate, thorough, and will not require revision.
Calculations:
a. We have 43 business days to test this application
b. 50 * 5 = 250 test cases executed per day
c. 1000 / 250 = 4 days to execute all test cases in each test pass
d. Add a day for re-tests, regression tests and unexpected issues that may arise
e. 3 day turnaround for dev staff to fix defects and deliver a new build to test
f. Each test pass (all testing + bug fixes) will require 8 days
g. 43 / 8 = 5.375 test passes
This test project can have as many as 5 test cycles if necessary. If the product meets the exit criteria in fewer cycles, all the better.kurtz182

Non Testable Change Request (CR)
10 Client Request (changes) is done for a web application and came for testing in Maintenance phase, From those 5 changes are testable, remaining cannot be tested. How will you ensure that non testable Change Request (CR) are implemented?
mailme.qualityfirst
- May 6th, 2010
There are many possiblilites of Non testable requirements, to ensure the verification process, analysis has to be carried out, like code inspection, or walkthrough and manual testing.
kurtz182
- Dec 17th, 2009
Why are the remaining 5 CRs untestable? Is it because the test environment is not set up to properly test them? If so, the most reliable way to ensure the CRs are properly implemented would be to verify this in the production environment.

kurtz182- Member Since Nov-2009 | Dec 17th, 2009
Of course, the answer to this question depends on time, budget, and resources. Generally, this is how I would begin: I would evaluate QA processes based on past experience and the feedback that I've received from others (ex: Post Mortem - lessons learned). Then I would select projects that are feasible and will return the greatest value for our effort and focus my attention on them.

Project managers are responsible for the overall success of software projects from conception to deployment. The tasks of a project manager include:
1) Creates and executes project plans and revises them as appropriate to meet changing requirements.
2) Manages daily operations of a project.
3) Ensures project documents are complete, current, and stored appropriately.
4) Reviews deliverables before passing them to client.
5) Enforces project standards.
6) Mitigates risks.Quality Assurance managers are responsible for the quality of software throughout the software development process. The tasks of a Quality Assurance manager include:
1) Establishes the environments and tools required to prevent and detect software defects.
2) Establishes quality standards and procedures to be employed throughout software development projects.
3) Creates and grows QA and Test teams through hiring and training.
4) Removes obstacles that impede quality assurance and test progress.
5) Delivers reports to stakeholders who need to make informed decisions about software quality.
6) Monitors and assesses QA and Test team performance.Jagdish.Narayan
