- Upon conclusion of the QA life cycle, a test summary reports need to be generated, what is software test summary report?
The software test summary contains the findings of the testing. The tester usually documents how testing went, issues or bugs encountered and how they were documented, any recommendation in the future to avoid some of the difficulties encountered.
- What is your understanding on – Risk and Issue?
As a BA I understand risk to be any potential event that could happen but has not yet happened. Potential future problems
An issue is essentially a risk that has happened. Current problems being dealt with.
- What is user story? How do you write user story?
A user story is high level definition of a requirement from a user’s perspective.
To write my user stories, I always make sure 3 things are present: the type of user, the functionality desired, and the value achieved.
Example: As the administrator, I want to login, so that I can pull monthly reports.
- What are the things that Business Analyst is involved in other than writing requirements?
As a BA, I translate requirements into system’s requirements. I’m also responsible for using my analytical skills and performing analysis to provide a blueprint to follow to take the system form its as is state to its to be state. I facilitate communication between the project team and stakeholders. I assist with with coordinating and document the user accepting testing. I’m also responsible for creating training material for end users.
- What diagrams and/or other materials do you use to capture and describe customer needs and convey technical information?
I used use case to capture and clearly describe customer needs. As a BA, this is a useful method for me to gather requirements and identify business needs.
- Describe a situation where you used business analysis techniques to gather business requirements from stakeholders. Which techniques did you use and why did you choose those techniques?
As a business analyst, I have mainly used use case to gather requirements per company policy. To gather requirements using use cases, I ask questions such as who is the system being built for to determine my actors, what is the system being built for to determine the capabilities or functionalities of the system. Once I have all those information down, I can then join the actors to their functions by association lines. I used this technique because the diagram provides me with a visual representation of the system to be built and how it’s going to be used. I can then proceed to developing requirements using the use case.
Another technique I have used is to analyze documents from the planning phases to identify users and their functionalities
- What is RDBMS and Dimensional modeling?
Relational database management system is a type of database that is structured to allow users to identify and access data in relation to another data in the database.
Dimensional modeling is a data structure that is designed to optimize the database by allowing a fast retrieval of the data.
