Question 7

Quality Assurance

Answer 7

Software Quality Assurance is about engineering process that ensures quality. Software Testing is to test a product for problems before the product goes live. Involves activities related to the implementation of processes, procedures, and standards

Question 8

root cause

Answer 8

Root Cause Analysis is a systematic approach to identifying the underlying causes of an incident. It helps in taking appropriate steps, so the problem is addressed. In an ideal world, the software should have Zero defects, and it should not show any failure. Practically, it’s never possible. By effective QA processes, we can ensure that software has minimum defects. We can also ensure that there are the right techniques that can be followed to find the underlying cause of any defect. This process of identifying WHY the problem has occurred in the software is called Root Cause Analysis (RCA).

Question 9

test analysis

Answer 9

Test Analysis is the process of looking into test artifacts to base your test conditions/test cases. Hence, it is also called Test Basis. Testers can create Test Conditions by looking into the Application Under Test or use their experience. But mostly, test cases are derived from test artifacts

Question 10

test basis

Answer 10

Test basis is defined as the source of information or the document that is needed to write test cases and also for test analysis. Test basis should be well defined and adequately structured so that one can easily identify test conditions from which test cases can be derived

Question 11

test case

Answer 11

A TEST CASE is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine whether a system under test satisfies requirements or works correctly. The process of developing test cases can also help find problems in the requirements or design of an application

Question 12

test completion

Answer 12

Test Completion is the last stage of the software testing life cycle. It results in a report that is a Test manager or a Test lead prepares that showcases the completed data from the test execution.

Question 13

test condition

Answer 13

Test conditions are the constraints that you should follow to test an application. …
Test conditions can be a piece of functionality or anything you want to verify. …
It is an item or event of a system that could be verified by one or more test cases. …
Good test conditions ensure a system is bug free.

Question 14

test control

Answer 14

Test Control is an activity of guiding and taking corrective action based on some metrics or information to improve efficiency and quality. Test Monitoring activity includes: … Finding and tracking the Test Metrics. Planning and Estimation, for deciding the future course of action, based on the metrics calculated

Question 15

test data

Answer 15

Test data is data which has been specifically identified for use in tests, typically of a computer program. Some data may be used in a confirmatory way, typically to verify that a given set of input to a given function produces some expected result.

Question 16

test design

Answer 16

Test design is a process that describes “how” testing should be done. It includes processes for the identifying test cases by enumerating steps of the defined test conditions. The testing techniques defined in test strategy or plan is used for enumerating the steps.

Question 17

test execution

Answer 17

Test execution is the process of executing the code and comparing the expected and actual results. Following factors are to be considered for a test execution process: Based on a risk, select a subset of test suite to be executed for this cycle. Assign the test cases in each test suite to testers for execution.

Question 18

test implementation

Answer 18

Search Results
Featured snippet from the web
Test implementation is the practice of organizing and prioritizing tests. This is carried out by Test Analysts who implement the test designs as real test cases, test processes and test data. If you are observing the IEEE 829 standard, you must define these parameters as well : Test inputs

Question 19

test monitoring

Answer 19

Test Monitoring is a process of evaluating and providing feedback on the “currently in progress” testing phase. Test Control is an activity of guiding and taking corrective action based on some metrics or information to improve efficiency and quality.

Question 20

test object

Answer 20

A test object is an object that QuickTest creates in the test to represent the actual object in your application. QuickTest stores information on the object that will help it identify and check the object during the run session

Question 21

test objective

Answer 21

Test Objective is the overall goal and achievement of the test execution. The objective of the testing is finding as many software defects as possible; ensure that the software under test is bug free before release. List all the software features (functionality, performance, GUI…) which may need to test

Question 22

test oracle

Answer 22

A source to determine expected results to compare with the actual result of the software under test. An oracle may be the existing system (for a benchmark), other software, a user manual, or an individual’s specialized knowledge, but should not be the code.

Question 23

test planning

Answer 23

A TEST PLAN is a document describing software testing scope and activities. It is the basis for formally testing any software/product in a project. test plan: A document describing the scope, approach, resources and schedule of intended test activities.

Question 24

test procedure

Answer 24

A test procedure is a formal specification of test cases to be applied to one or more target program modules. Test procedures are executable. A process called the VERIFIER applies a test procedure to its target modules and produces an exception report indicating which test cases, if any, failed.
