Assessment Q&A Flashcards
How does regression testing work?
When you receive a new build, you test the new functionality after this you also test existing functionality to ensure the new code did not negatively impact old functionality.
How should QA analyst do requirement analysts and do test planning?
- Review the requirements with the business analyst to gain a clear understanding of new functionality.
- Document test cases that includes both positive and negative test cases.
- Collaborate with the business analyst to determine field length and restrictions.
What is the standard test plan templet?
This is almost like asking what are a Test Plan
- Test plan identifier
- Test deliverables
- Introduction
- Test tasks
- Test items
- Environmental needs
- Features to be tested
- Responsibilities
- Features not to be tested
- Staffing and training needs
- Approach Schedule
- Item pass/fail criteria
- Risks and contingencies
- Suspension and resumption criteria Approvals
Are you aware of a complete work flow of the test life cycle?
(This is asking how does the STLC work)
- Requirements analysis
- Test planning
- Test case development
- Environment setup (any data needed)
- Test execution
- Bug fixes
- Test cycle closure
What is bug life cycle?
- Understand the requirements
- Log the bug
- coordinate with the developer
- Receive bug fix
- smoke test
- regression test
- ensure that the bug is fixed (if it is close it if not reopen it)
If developer rejects a bug what do you do?
Work with the business analyst to ensure code is not working as expected.
Clearly document steps.
If dev still rejects the bug, the business analyst should work with the developer to clarify functionality.
Inform leadership of disputed bug.
What is Smoke Testing?
Smoke Test also known as “Build VerificationTesting”, is a type of software testingthat is comprised of a non-exhaustive set of test that is aimed at ensuring that the most important functions work.
What is Regression Testing?
Regression Test verifies that software previously developed and tested still performs correctly even after it was changed or interfaced with other software.
What is Performance Testing?
Performance Test is testing done to determine how a systemperforms in terms of responsiveness and stability under a particular workload. It can also serve to investigate, measure, validate or verify other quality attributeof the system, such asscalability, reliabilityand resource usage.
What is Functional Testing?
Functional testing is a type of testing which verifies that eachfunctionof the software application operates in conformance with the requirement specification. This testing mainly involves black box testing and it is not concerned about the source code of the application.
What is Web Service Testing?
From my understanding Web Service Testing making sure a user can send a request to a software service which in-turn returns a response in human readable format.
Basically making sure we can send & receive emails
Can you tell me about yourself?
- As a UAT tester I’ve worked with users on various platforms and operating systems like Windows 7 & IOS. I’ve tested web-based applications and a few client server applications like Salesforce. I’m familiar with and have written Test Cases based on requirement. I’ve attended requirement review meetings, at which I had to provide feedback to the BA and developers about defects. As for defects tracking, I’ve used Excel to track them.
Why should we hire you? (Look at the company’s need and how you can fill it)
- In reviewing the job description there were two requirements that stuck out to me:
o One was that the candidate should have a good understanding of the UAT and regression testing. For the past almost three years these are the activity that I have performed. Not only do I have an understanding of them but I have the experience of doing them.
o The other point was that the person needs to have the drive to learn. This also fits my profile because I took the initiative to learn the testing process with over 200hrs. Currently I am learning Salesforce, so that I can get my certification, HTML5, CSS SQL so that I can improve myself professionally. These are all self-initiated.
What’s your weakness?
- One of the weaknesses that I have is that I have not written that much Test Case in my role as a UAT tester. But I have taken courses and different exercises to challenge myself so that I am in practice and I’ve had my cousin review them because she is a QA Lead.
What’s your strength?
- One of my strength is that I take delight in learning. I’m currently learning Salesforce in order to get my Admin Certification.
- My other strength is that in my role Client Manager, I initiated a restructuring process for the way we presented information to the client so that it was more targeted and focused on their needs.
