Test cases Questions

(questions asked in interview)hi every one can any one please answer to this questions. these questions were asked in an interview. i have another interview next week .

1.when the time schedule is tight how will you approach the testing, and the release is nearing and we need to finish testing how can we follow in that case. do we need to execute all the test cases or can prioritize and leave some to next release.


2. when a new feature is added to the existing application we need to add new test cases but after that do we need to change all the existing test cases and while running do we need to execute entire application test cases or only the new feature test cases and related new feature test cases.

3.do you have any situation where you have to write and execute the test cases same time, how will you follow. does it happens in real time.

4.example of bug which is not reproducible. like tester say that there is bug and developer say no can some example of such bugs.

5.during regression testing some times do we need to add new some additional test cases to test that bug.

Answer for question 1) when we are having short window frame for testing...various factors have to be taken in to consideration
use risk analysis to understand which  functionality of the application is wanted  most by the customer/which part of the application has most security impact/financial impact/which application was implemented in hurry.
ad hoc testing  system and functional testing shd be carried out.

1 If there is lack of time we will go for adhoc testing

2 There is no need to execute all the test cases only those which are newly added test cases and the related test cases has to execute

3-> we wont face this type of suitivation in real time because before implement the application only we have been write the testcases, so in real time we neverface this type of problems

2->if we add any new requirements for existing application we consider those are all in CRS means change request

we will able to maintain sapare test cases for CRS also but we should maintain saparate numbers for each and every CRS

is there any slite change then we will do changes in the testcases and depending test cases also

1. Execute all the Test cases is the best way to make the Quality better. In this situation Risk Analysis concept is used. Choosen the Prioritize test case and execute them. which will reduce the time of testinig and shorten the release time.

2.Executing the entire Test case is the best way to avoid any impacts on changed code(Regression Testing)

3. Yes, in real time it will happened. suppose the case is left in the  Test case creation phase. Missing the Test case is not an issue, but the missed one is executed and documented is the important one. This case is not only for Missing, New Change Request happend.

4. While executing the Test case. Application shows "Page cannot found" or showing Blank page. this may occur in rare case. Which could not be reproducable. that time screenshot is the best way to report this bug.

5. Yes

1. Instead of going for all the test cases the test cases are priorities as
per their impact on the application, These prioritized test cases will be
executed first & in the same way will proceed further to cover as much as
functionality we ( keeping time constraints in Mind)


2. If you are adding any new functionality (an enhancement) there we need to
create the new set of test cases which will cover new functionality as well as
the interface with the main (respective) functionality


3. It may happen depending upon the project requirements (reasons could be
time constraint, Documentation etc)


4. Any environmental issue which is occurring at the tester's site but at the
developer's site it is working fine (due to proper environment setup).


5. Yes, sometimes you may need to add few of the testcases to cover unreached
areas.

1.we can go for adhoc testing with many testers by dividing the work into many small units and we can finish it very easy
2.in test case if we write or the new one it is ok but due to the existing it cause any reflect immediately it should be removved and new test cases be written but at the time of running the application all the factors have to been checked because leaving one or two minutes to test then it will cause a big problem at the end
3.i don`t have like this strategy but we have to write the new test cases and execute it fully then it is good
4.Test case are same only the bug report will differ and make things acording to it

1. We can use ad-hoc testing on such situations.

2. We have to execute the entire test cases because now new version has made ready so it is best to work with all the test cases.

3. Normally once your test case has been approved then you must go as soon as testing.

4. Yes it may happen many times at that make a screen shot it will be very useful.

5. No, if you add new test cases then it will come under sanity testing.
