39 Automated Testing Questions And Answers
22⟩ What are the advantages of Test Automation?
i) Fast: Tools are faster in execution than human users
ii) Reliable: Tools are reliable in complex calculations and tasks
iii) Reusable: we can reuse Automated Tests on multiple versions of
Software (Ex: Sanity Tests, Regression Tests)
iv) Repeatable: we can repeat same operations with multiple sets of Test
Data (Ex: Data driven Tests)
v) Programmable: we can use flow control statements for applying logic
(Scope of Automated Tests is very high than Manual Test Cases)
vi) Comprehensive: we can execute series of Tests without human
interaction (Ex: Batch Testing)
23⟩ What are the drawbacks of Test Automation?
i) Test design requires lot of efforts
ii) 100% test automation impractical
iii) All types of testing not possible (Ex: Usability)
iv) Debugging issues
v) Tools may have their own defects
24⟩ What is Vendor tool and give examples?
Companies develop tools, license is required to use and get technical
support.
HP-WinRunner, QTP, LR, QC
IBM-Rational- Rational Robot, RFT, RPT, QA Director
Micro-SilkTest, Silk Performer
25⟩ What is Open source Tool and give example?
Source code available on Internet anybody can download and use.
Ex: Selenium, Jmeter, Bugzilla, QAwebload etc…
26⟩ What is In-house tool?
Some companies develop tools for their internal use.
Microsoft, Oracle Corporation and IBM developed so many tools for their
internal use.
27⟩ Give some examples for Functional & Regression Test Tools?
HP- QuickTest Professional (QTP)
IBM- Rational Functional Tester (RFT)
Micro Focus- Silk Test
Test Complete
Test Partner
Selenium (Open Source)
28⟩ Give some examples for Performance Test Tools?
HP-LoadRunner
IBM-Rational Performance Tester (RPT)
Micro Focus- Silk Performer
JMeter (Open Source)
Etc..
29⟩ Give some examples for Test management Tools?
HP- Quality Center / ALM
Jira
Rational QA Director
Etc..
30⟩ Give some examples for Defect Management Tools?
Bugzilla,
Issue-Tracker,
PR-Tracker
Etc…
31⟩ What is the deference between Automation tools and Management tools?
Automation tools interact with software applications, Test management
tools don’t interact with software applications.
Test management tools only for documentation and generation reports
where as Automation tools execute our software applications.
32⟩ Tell me what is Regression Testing?
Testing of a previously tested program following modification to ensure
that defects have not been introduced or uncovered in unchanged areas of
the software, as a result of the changes made. It is performed when the
software or its environment is changed.
33⟩ Do you know what is Functional Testing?
Testing based on an analysis of the specification of the functionality
of a component or system.
34⟩ What are different coverages in Function Testing?
Verifying the Functionality (external behavior) of a component or System
i) Input Domain Coverage
Verifying weather the system is accepting valid inputs or not? And
preventing invalid inputs or not
ii) Output Domain Coverage
Verifying weather the System is providing correct Outputs or not, based
on input and process
iii) Database Testing
Verifying the data validations, data storage and data retrieval operations
iv) Error handling
Verifying how the system is handling user unathurized/invalid operations
and providing error and help messages.
v) Order of functionalities
Verifying weather the System is providing correct order of
functionalities or not
35⟩ What are the important operations in Database Testing?
Data Integrity,
Data Manipulations,
Data Comparisons,
Data Retrieval,
Data back-up and recovery operations etc...
36⟩ What is Functional and Regression Testing?
Plz guide me with answer.
37⟩ Who uses QTP Tool?
HP- QuickTest Professional is an Industry leading Functional &
Regression Test tool and it supports advanced keyword driven test approach.
Automatio Testers and End users use QTP Tool
38⟩ What type of Scenarios can’t be automated?
Tests that require human user observation
Tests that requires one time execution
39⟩ Tell me what type of Scenarios can be automated?
Tests that we have to execute on every build (Sanity Tests)
Tests that we have to execute on every modified build (Regression Tests)
Tests that we have to execute with multiple sets of test data (Data
driven Tests)
