TESTING Flashcards

1
Q

what is software testing?

A

Software testing is known as a process forvalidating and verifyingthe working of a software/application. It makes sure that the software is working without any errors, bugs, or any other issues and gives the expected output to the user.

Q

what is unit testing?

A

first level of testing performed by the dev

we test the smallest testable part - units

module or component is tested in isolation

Advantage – Error can be detected at an early stage saving time and money to fix it.

Limitation – modules may work perfectly on isolation but can have issues in interfacing between the modules.

Q

what are units?

A

Unit testing is a software development process in which the smallest testable parts of an application, called units, are individually and independently tested.

Q

why are modules tested independently?

A

In unit testing, the individual modules are tested as independent components to ensure that they work correctly and are fit to be assembled/integrated with other components.

Q

what is integration testing?

A

it is the second level of testing

individual components of the software are tested in a group.

Q

what is the goal of integration testing?

A

Unit testing uses modules for testing purpose, and these modules are combined and tested in integration testing.

The Software is developed with a number of software modules that are coded by different coders or programmers. The goal of integration testing is to check the correctness of communication among all the modules.

Q

what is top down approach?

A

The top-down testing strategy deals with the process in which higher level modules are tested with lower level modules until the successful completion of testing of all the modules.

to simulate the behaviour of the lower-level modules that are not yet integrated.

Q

what is hybrid testing?

A

also called sandwich integration

combination of the bottom-up approach and top-down approach, so it uses the advantage of both the bottom-up approach and top-down approach.

In this process, top-level modules are tested with lower level modules and lower level modules tested with high-level modules simultaneously.

Q

what is big bang integration?

A

when the data flow is very complex and when it is difficult to find who is a parent and who is a child.

all the modules are first required to be completed and then integrated. After integration, testing is carried out on the integrated unit as a whole.

Q

what is system testing?

A

third level of testing

testing of a fully integrated software system.

It aims at determining if the application conforms to its business requirements.

System testing is a series of different type of tests with the purpose to exercise and examine the full working of an integrated software computer system

Q

what is validation testing

A

The process of evaluating software during the development process or at the end of the development process to determine whether it satisfies specified business requirements.

We check whether the developed product is right.

Validation is also known asdynamic testing.

Validation Testing ensures that the product actually meets the client’s needs.

29
Q

what is verification testing?

A

It is a process of checking the work-products (not the final product) of a development cycle to decide whether the product meets the specified requirements.

static type of testing

We check whether we are developing the right product or not.

does not involve exe of code.

catches errors that validation cant

30
Q

which is static testing?

A

verification

31
Q

which is dynamic testing?

A

validation

32
Q

input and output in BB testing?

A

tester provides an input and an observer observes the output generated by the system under test.

32
Q

what is black box testing?

A

In Black Box Testing we just focus on inputs and output of the software systemwithout bothering about internal knowledge of the software program.

32
Q

how does BB excersises?

A

end to end

just like end-users “don’t care” how a system is coded and expect to receive an appropriate response to their requests

33
Q

what are BB testing tech?

A

equivalence partitioning
boundary value analysis

34
Q

what is eq partitioning?

A

a tech where we divide input values into valid and invalid partitions and selecting representative values from each partition as test data

35
Q

how is eq partitioning applied?

A

any level of testing

36
Q

what is the idea behind eq part?

A

to divide a set of test conditions into groups or sets that can be considered the same hence eq part

37
Q

in eq part how are input values set into classes for testing?

A

valid input class
invalid input class

38
Q

what are guidelines of eq part?

A
  • range condition is given as an input, then one valid and two invalid equivalence classes are defined.*specific value is given as input, then one valid and two invalid equivalence classes are defined.
    • member of set is given as an input, then one valid and one invalid equivalence class is defined.
    • If Boolean no. is given as an input condition, then one valid and one invalid equivalence class is defined.
39
Q

when is one valid and one invalid input is given as eq class?

A

if a Boolean no is given as input
if a member set is given as input

40
Q

when is one valid and two invalid eq classes are defined?

A

if a spc value is given
if a range is given

41
Q

what is boundary value testing?

A

The behavior at the edge of the equivalence partition is more likely to be incorrect than the behavior within the partition, so boundaries are an area where testing is likely to yield defects.

testing at the extreme ends

42
Q

for each variable we check?

A

min
min+1
nominal
max
max-1

43
Q

what is white box testing

A

here the internal structure/design/implementation of the item being tested is known to the tester

tester has access to source code

to test software internal logic flow and structure

used to detect logical errors

44
Q

why use white box testing

A

to detect logical errors

to debug a code

finding typographical errors

45
Q

what are tech of white box testing

A

statement coverage
branch and decision coverage
path coverage
basis path testing

46
Q

what is statement coverage

A

all the statements must be traversed at least once

each line of code is tested

every node is traversed at least once

we can identify which statement was exe and which was not

only covers true conditions

47
Q

what is the formula of statement coverage?

A

number of statement exe/total no of statements *100

48
Q

what is branch coverage

A

covers both true and false conditions

49
Q

what is formula of decision coverage

A

number of decision outcomes exe/total number of dec outcomes*100

50
Q

what is CFG

A

control flow graph

A control flow graph is a directed graph which represents the control structure of a program or module.

A control flow graph (V, E) has V number of nodes/vertices and E number of edges in it

it has
junction node
decision node
region

51
Q

what is a junction node

A

a node with more than one arrow entering it

52
Q

what is a decision node

A

node with more than one arrow leaving it

53
Q

what is a region

A

area bounded by edges and nodes

54
Q

what are the formulas of cyclomatic complexity

A

V(G) = edges - nodes + 2
V(G) = predicate node +1
V(G) = number of internal region + 1

55
Q

what are predicate nodes

A

P is the number of connected components

56
Q

what is an independent path

A

An independent path in the control flow graph is the one which introduces at least one new edge that has not been traversed before the path is defined.

57
Q

how to find independent path

A

cyclomatic complexity

58
Q

what is condition testing

A

Condition testing is a test cased design method, which ensures that the logical condition and decision statements are free from errors

59
Q

what is loop testing

A

It specifically focuses on the validity of loop construction as Errors often occur at the beginnings and ends of loops.

60
Q

what are nested loops

A

Loops within loops are called as nested loops.

Start with inner loop. set all other loops to minimum values.

Conduct simple loop testing on inner loop.

Work outwards.

Continue until all loops tested.

61
Q

what are concatenated loops

A

Independent loops, one after another.

62
Q

what is OOA model?

A

object oriented analysis model

the first technical activity performed as part of object-oriented software engineering.

63
Q

what is OOD?

A

object oriented design model

64
Q

which testing uses only BB

A

beta

65
Q

which testing uses both BB and WB

A

alpha

66
Q

what is regression testing?

A

identify that if there’s any defect in the system due to modification in any other part of the system. It makes sure, any changes done during the development process have not introduced a new defect
