WRITTEN TEST : MANUAL TESTING

Q1. Summarize how a software is developed using AGILE-SCRUM methodology with proper terms.

Product owner takes requirements from executives,customers,users and gives it to the team. The team
works on it according to the priority. They divide the task into sprints or cycles. Like 1-4 weeks sprint.
They will have everyday meetings or “scrums”. Scrum master and the team will discuss the task done or
to be done and review the product. They should develop the product within the sprint. And main benefit
of Agile methodology is there is time to market, increase revenue according to the customer value.

Q2. What is a test plan. What are the main features of a IEEE test plan.

Test plan is a document describing scope,approach,resources and schedule of the intended test plan
activities.it identifies test items,features to be tested,testing tasks, who should do each task,any risks
involving contingency planning.

Main feautures of IEEE test plan is Test deliverables such as test case specifications, test design
specifications, testing tools, Environmental needs, Item pass/fail criteria, Responsibilities, staffing and
training needs, schedule, risks,approvals.

Q3. What is a test case. What are the good features in a test case template.

Test case is collection of Test steps. Test case template contains Test case ID, Test case Name, Test case
steps in detail, Input data, Expected Result, Actual Result, Status includes pass/fail.

Q4. What is black box testing. Explain equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis with
example.

Black box Testing: In this testing, the tester interacts with the system’s user interface by giving input and
examining outputs without knowing how and where the inputs are worked. The tester do not have
access to the internal source code.

Equivalence partitioning: This technique is dividing input into valid and invalid data.

Eg: while testing Find atm/branch using zipcode, valid input is numeric numbers such as 07307 and
invalid input is alphanumeric numbers such as a7b07.

Boundary value analysis: This technique is divide the input into less than, within and outside the
boundary level.

eg: while testing find atm/branch using zipcode. As zipcode has 5 digits giving lessthan 5 digits such as
0730 and greater than 5 digits such as 0730789 and equal to 5 digits such as 07307.
Q5. What is a user story. What are the main elements of a user story template.

Q6. Explain regression and retesting with example.

Regression: This is a type of testing where fixing the defect in the application has made any changes in
the other areas of application.

Eg: In a gmail login module there is a defect in the reply all function and we fixed it. then testing the
remaining functions whether it made any changes is regression testing.

Retesting: This is a type of testing where fixing the defect and retesting the fixed area in the application
is working or not.

Eg: In a gmail login module reply all function has a defect and we fixed it.Testing it again whether
working or not is retesting.

Q7. Explain STLC Write one line of explanation for each.

SDLC: SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE: Requirements ,Design, Implement or Execute, Testing,
Deployment, support.

Requiements: Gathering requirements from the customers and users and business analysts…

Design: Designing how to develop the product in step by step process.

Implement or Execute: Developing the designed product by using any source code.

Testing: Testing the developed source code whether working or not by giving input and testing output.

Deployment: This is after testing, deployment or releasing the product into market for usage to the
customers or users.

Support: This is the support team to help if there is any risks or defects after releasing the product.

Q8 Explain defect life cycle. Differentiate priority and severity of a defect.

DLC: Defect life cycle: New,open or reject, Fixed,Retest,close.

New: Tester gives New status if finds a defect

Open : Developer opens the defect or rejects it

Fixed: If Developer opens it they work on it and gives Fixed.

Retest: Tester perform retesting and if defect is fixed then gives closed.

Priority: Priority is related to the business requirements.

Severity : Severity is related to the application.

Q9. Using the use case file attached, write test cases.
