1) wat is functional testing? how will u do functional testing? wat is the steps required to do functional testing?

2) wat is compatibility testing?

3) wat is whitebox testing? how will u do whitebox testing? wat is the steps required to do whitebox testing?

4) which will come first in testing, test plan or test stratergy?

5) suppose if u dnt hav srs or ny other requirement thn wat steps will u take to test tht product?

1.functional testing def:In the simplest description, Functional Test is the process used to ensure a product performs to design specification when assembly is completed. Functional testing tests the sum of all product parts to ensure they work, and to identify product failure.
functional testing:Functional Testing begins from Functional specification
requirments(FRS)Docs,understanding the functionality of the
application with the help of Use Cases(If application is
not yet developed),Start writting test cases and exceute
the test cases.
Actual functional testing means verifying the dependent
field on depedency field.
Example:once the user information is filled with all the
mandetory field then only SUBMIT button should be enabled
(i,e Here SUBMIT buton depends on dependency fileld)

2.compatibility testing: The ability of two or more systems or components to perform their required functions while sharing the same hardware or software environment.

3.white box testing: testing the application with specific knowledge on domain & internal knowledge is called white box testing.
Accutally development team will do white box testing. as white box testing covers both unit & integration testing(loops & conditions to be checked).
steps:generally any testing should start from smaller module. first unit testing then after completion of unit testing integration testing will be conducted.

4.test plan will come first then test stratergy( plan r so many but we will select the best & then follow that plan as stratergy.

5.u have the application, on your previous experience u will test or write the test cases & execute.if u don't have experience u have to use your common sense .

if i am wrong tell me(any body).

[nabanita]

thn wat is test stratergy? & in last question u said that we shld use our common sense right?? thn if in ths case interviwer asked u wat common sense would u use th wat will be ur ans??

[nabanita]

can u tell me ny exp of compatibility testing?

[tejus]

1.example of compatibility testing?
A. if we r going to instal any game on a computer. we have to check whether this computer satifies the needs of the game which is to be installed(supports)configuration(ram,harddisk,etc).

[tejus]

in interview u don't tell we have to use over common sense.just u stop at we use our previous experience.

[nabanita]

well am sry to say tat u didnt get my que...nyway thx for ur ans..

4.To the best of my knowledge Test strategy comes first and it will developed bye the
quality analyst people bcoz its a high level document.
where as test plan will b developed by test lead.correct me if i was wrong.
Bhadri

[charushila]

which one will be correct answer?

Testing to ensure compatibility of an application or Web site with different browsers, OSs, and hardware platforms. Compatibility testing can be performed manually or can be driven by an automated functional or regression test suite.

Well it depands up on the respective organization, that
1. Which fields do they keep in their standard Test Strategy and Test Plan Template
2. Which approach of estimation they are using (top-down or Bottom up).

For Example a test strategy contains Project context, scope, roles, deadlines, tools and techniques used and approach; and a test plan includes entry exit crieterias, risks, depandencies, deliverables etc; there is a mutual depandency only where the 'numbers' are required.

Which ever document contains estimation numbers should born first, then only on the basis of that we will be able to calculate the other contents of Test Paln or Strategy. And if there is a separate document for the Estimation numbers then Plan and strategy can be developed simultaneously.
