Manual Testing Interview Questions and Answers
Question - 101 : - What are the entry criteria in software testing?
Answer - 101 : - A set of prerequisites that are required to kick-off the testing activity and that includes Test environment, Test tool, Test Data, database connectivity, and many more.
Question - 102 : - What is cyclomatic complexity?
Answer - 102 : -
Cyclomatic complexity is the measure of the number of independent paths in an application or program. This metric provides an indication of the amount of effort required to test complete functionality. It can be defined by the expression –
L – N + 2P, where:
L is the number of edges in the graph
N is the number of nodes
P is the number of disconnected parts
Question - 103 : - What is the requirement traceability matrix(RTM)?
Answer - 103 : - In software testing, a requirement traceability matrix is a table that relates the high-level requirements with either detailed requirements, test plans, or test cases. RTM helps in ensuring 100% test coverage.
Question - 104 : - What is dev-box Testing?
Answer - 104 : -
In dev-box testing, a tester performs testing on the developer’s system to verify if the major functionalities of the application are stable and ready for testing.
Question - 105 : - What is pilot testing?
Answer - 105 : - Pilot testing is testing carried out as a trial by a limited number of users to evaluate the system and provide their feedback before the complete deployment is carried out.
Question - 106 : - What is fuzz testing?
Answer - 106 : - Fuzz testing is a type of testing in which a large amount of random data is provided as input to the application in order to find security loopholes and other issues in the application.
Question - 107 : - What is failover testing?
Answer - 107 : - Failover testing is a type of testing that is used to verify the application’s ability to allocate more resources(more servers) in case of failure and transferring the processing part to the back-up system.
Question - 108 : - What is all pair testing?
Answer - 108 : - All pair testing is a type of testing in which the application is tested with all possible combinations of the values of input parameters.
Question - 109 : - What is a test harness? Why do we need a test harness?
Answer - 109 : - A test harness is a collection of test scripts and test data usually associated with the unit and integration testing. It involves stubs and drivers that are required for testing software modules and integrated components.
Question - 110 : - What do you mean by Defect Triage?
Answer - 110 : - Defect triage is a process in which the defects are prioritized based on different factors like severity, risk, the time required to fix the bug, etc. The defect triage meeting includes the different stakeholders – the development team, testing team, project manager, BAs, etc, which decide the priority of fixing the defects.
