Q

Sanity testing

A

Sanity Testing is done to check the new functionality/bugs have been fixed. It exercises only the particular component of the entire system.
It is a subset of regression testing.

Q

Test strategy

A

Is a set of instructions or protocols which explain the test design and determine how the test should be performed

17
Q

Test plan

A

Defines the approach, scope, and intensity of the effort of software testing.

18
Q

Types of functional testing

A

Unit, component, integration, system,end-to-end, regression, sanity, smoke

19
Q

Types of non-functional tests

A

Performance, load, stress, volume, security, upgrade & installation, recovery, compliance

20
Q

Severity

A

Is a parameter to denote the impact of a particular defect on the software

21
Q

Priority

A

Is a parameter to decide the order in which defects should be fixed

22
Q

When to automate

A
  • the feature/product is fully ready
  • it’s repetitive
  • doesn’t change
  • high priority
23
Q

Agile ceremonies

A
  1. Sprint planning
  2. Backlog grooming - go over other stories
  3. Daily stand ups
  4. Sprint retroes
24
Q

What is epic in agile

A

A big feature that has stories

25
Q

What is spike in agile

A

Areas that doesn’t have information

26
Q

Challenges in agile

A
  1. Keep up with sprint based env
  2. Figure out how to strategize testing in 2 weeks process
27
Q

Agile software development life cycle

A

Is the structured series of stages that a product goes through as it moves from beginning to end. It has six phases:
1. concept
2. inception
3. integration
4. release
5. maintenance
6. retirement.

Q

About me

A
  • I have more than 5 years experience and posses a comprehensive in embedded software testing, seeking a software automation centric role.
  • Started as a support technician at Meta and worked myself up as a SQAE
  • a long the way I build a set of skills including leading a team and ability to find the bottlenecks and common pinpoints within a qa process
  • As a support technician at Meta I improved the efficiency of the overall checkout process by reducing troubleshooting time by 20% by suggesting automation
  • Within a 3 moths period I was promoted to quality analyst at Meta
  • as a quality analyst I created over 2000 and executed over 20000 test cases
  • filed over 1000 defects with 50% of high priority
  • I supported websites and mobiles apps for oculus products
  • I wanted to learn more about the processes and completed the full stack coding boot camp at UC Berkeley extension
  • after that I joined Enel X as a QAE
  • here my daily activities mostly consist of 70% manual testing and 30% automation
  • for automation I use Python with Selenium Web driver for front end, Portman with API for and learning about Appium for mobile applications.
  • About me: Personally I love dancing, hanging out with friends, reading non-fictional books and I am fascinated about human phycology and use all possible tools to learn more about it.
29
Q

Stress testing

A

Is done under abnormal conditions, makes sure that the system responds correctly to it and recovers after failure

30
Q

Agile methodology

A

Involves breaking the project into phases and emphasizes on continuous collaboration and improvement

31
Q

The difference between test plan and test strategy

A

Test plan documents scope, objective and key elements of software testing, whereas test strategy defines the techniques and approaches to testing.

32
Q

Examples of severity and priority

A

High priority high severity:
- Wrong data is displayed
High priority low severity:
- wrong logo of the company displayed(reputation)
Low priority high severity:
- app crashes when user is opening rarely used functionality on a legacy software that most users can’t access

33
Q

OOP

A

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects, which can contain data and code: data in the form of fields (often known as attributes or properties), and code in the form of procedures (often known as methods)

34
Q

STLC software testing life cycle

A
  1. Requirement analysis
  2. Test planning
  3. Test case development
  4. Test environment setup
  5. Test execution
  6. Test closure
35
Q

CI/CD basics

A

Continuous integration - commit daily, it triggers automated test and notify developers of any issues
Continuous deliver - every code change that passes automation is automatically deployed to production.
