recording or programming) that checks the window WinRunner, Mercury Interactive and the
Mercury Interactive

38. Explain WinRunner testing process?

WinRunner testing process involves six main stages: i. Create GUI Map File so that WinRunner
can recognize the GUI objects in the application being tested ii. Create test scripts by recording,
programming, or a combination of both. While recording tests, insert checkpoints where you want
to check

39. How you will make changes in thousands of automated scripts if interface and
functionality of application

sort all the records

47. What do you mean by "Regular Expressions" ? In Real time, where we will use this?
Give me some
While using an web application,if suppose u want to captured filed value that is alphanumeric for
one iteration and numeric for another iteration,so we can't able to check/verify our result whether
the field is alphanumberic/numberic,in this situation we can use regualr expression.Example

48. What do you mean by "Function Decomposition" in winrunner?

49. How to connect to Oracle DB using winrunner

We can also connect using db_connect("ses", "dsn") to get complete control on DB

50. How you will write Test case in Winrunner?

Nobody will write test cases in WinRunner. Just we will write the Test Script for a corresponding
test case. Initially we write all manual test cases. We will write the test scripts for the
corresponding test cases.

51. How cache memory is released in winrunner?

Restart the winrunner.It will help you.

52. Which Type of GUI file is Preferable?

if you are new to winrunner then GUI map file per test is preferable and for advanced users

WinRunner for creating automates scripts for GUI, functional and regression testing of the AUT.

55. How you created you test scripts 1) by recording or 2) programming?

Programming. I have done complete programming only, absolutely no recording.

56. Difference Between set_window and win_activate

set_window: specifies the window to receive subsequent input and (optionally)specifies the
amount of time to wait for the specified window.win_activate:The win_activate function makes the
specified window the activewindow by bringing it into focus and raising it to the top of the
display(equivalent to

Select File menu / Test Properties, click on Test Parameters Tab then click on Add button to
create a Parameter. You need to pass a value while calling this script.

59. How do you view the results of file comparison?

file_compare(file_1,file_2[,save_file]);

60. What is the difference between script and compile module?

Test script contains the executable file in WinRunner while Compiled Module is used to store
reusable functions. Complied modules are not executable. b. WinRunner performs a pre-
compilation automatically when it saves a module assigned a property value of “Compiled
Module”. c. By default

61. How do you update your expected results?

help of updating mode

62. why choose winrunner , being it is costly tool ?

it depends on the choice of the end user. If the user feels that the AUT is extensive and could
really benefit from using WR and if there are plenty of Versions/Data Driven Test/Regression
cycles etc and it could be done with minimal user interaction through WR ,they can go for it..

63. Why should we create Framework?

64. What are the contents of Framework?

65. What is the command in winrunner to get dos prompt?

The dos_system function executes a DOS system command from within a WinRunner test script.
dos_system ( expression ); Example dos_system("echo dos_system demo > c:demo.tmp"); -
writes a line to the file .

66. How do you run your script with multiple sets of expected results?
through DDT

67. How do you call a function from external libraries (dll).

if u want call dll file through Winrunner, u should use api controls. it is a special functions

68. How do you store and view batch test results?

To store Batch test result When you run a regular, interactive test, results are stored in a
subfolder under the test. The same is true when a test is called by a batch test. WinRunner saves
the results for each called test separately in a subfolder under the test. A subfolder is also

69. What are the stages in winrunner?

Learning the objects through guimapin the application/Recording/Editing/Running/Analysis of
results/Report the Defects

70. How WinRunner handles varying window labels?

We can handle varying window labels using regular expressions. WinRunner uses two “hidden”
properties in order to use regular expression in an object’s physical description. These properties
are regexp_label and regexp_MSW_class. i. The regexp_label property is used for windows
Jagan Mohan Julooru

71. How do you test a web application without opening the webbrowser?
Use Web_Browser_Invoke(IE, URL); to invoke the browser through the test script instead of
opening the application.

72. How do you view and evaluate test results for various check points?
Once the script is executed which has multiple checkpoints, the test results window shows a
detailed information of whether the chekpoint passed or failed.As we know, checkpoints compare
the expected results with the actual results, we can evaluate the result.

73. What is the purpose of step, step into, step out, step to cursor commands for
debugging your scrip
The purpose of the commands are : STEP--> Runs a single lline of the TSL script. STEP INTO-->
Calls and displays another test/user-defined function. STEP OUT-->Used in conjunction to STEP
INTO and completes the execution of the called test/user defined function. STEP TO CURSOR--
>Runs

74. How do you declare external functions in TSL?

External functions are declared using the "extern" declaration that references an external
function. The syntax is: extern (parameter1,parameter2....). type--> refers to the return type of
the function.

75. What is the purpose of tl_step command?

Used to determine whether sections of a test pass or fail. Syntax: tl_step(step_name, status,
description);

76. What is a watch list?

Watch list enables to monitor the values of variables, expressions and arrays while we debug a
test script.

77. What is the purpose of setting a break point?

we can use breakpoints to help debug our test scripts. A breakpoint stops a test run at a specified
line in the test script, or in a specified function. You may want to stop a test run using a
breakpoint in order to: 1.monitor the entries in the Watch List 2.begin stepping through a test
script

78. What is the purpose of load_dll?

Load_dll will help us to load dll into memory and call functions inside the dll

79. Write TSL functions for the following interactive modes: i. Creating a dialog box with
any message you
Answers: 1. Dialog box with any message, and edit field create_input_dialog ( message
); message - Any expression. This expression will appear in the dialog box as a single
line. Return Values - This function returns a string. If no string is found or if the Cancel button is

80. What TSL function you will use to pause your script?
we can also pause the script using pause() command.

81. What is the purpose of Wdiff utility?

WDiff v1.49 utility that displays differences between text files in directories (folders) or zip
archives.

82. Write and explain various loop command?

A for loop instructs WinRunner to execute one or more statements a specified number of times. It
has the following syntax: for ( [ expression1 ]; [ expression2 ]; [ expression3 ] ) statement i. First,
expression1 is executed. Next, expression2 is evaluated. If expression2 is true, statement is
Jagan Mohan Julooru

83. When it is appropriate to change physical description?

Changing the physical description is necessary when the property value of an object changes.

84. What is contained in the GUI map?

WinRunner stores information it learns about a window or object in a GUI Map. When WinRunner
runs a test, it uses the GUI map to locate objects. It reads an object’s description in the GUI map
and then looks for an object with the same properties in the application being tested. Each of
these

85. How does WinRunner recognize objects on the application?

WinRunner uses the GUI Map file to recognize objects on the application. When WinRunner runs
a test, it uses the GUI map to locate objects. It reads an object’s description in the GUI map and
then looks for an object with the same properties in the application being tested.

86. Have you created test scripts and what is contained in the test scripts?
It contains the statement in Mercury Interactive’s Test Script Language (TSL). These statements
appear as a test script in a test window. You can then enhance your recorded test script, either by
typing in additional TSL functions and programming elements

87. How does WinRunner evaluates test results?

Following each test run, WinRunner displays the results in a report. The report details all the
major events that occurred during the run, such as checkpoints, error messages, system
messages, or user messages. If mismatches are detected at checkpoints during the test run, you
can view the expected

88. Have you performed debugging of the scripts?

We can debug the script by executing the script in the debug mode. We can also debug script
using the Step, Step Into, Step out functionalities provided by the WinRunner.

89. How do you run your test scripts?

We run tests in Verify mode to test your application. Each time WinRunner encounters a
checkpoint in the test script, it compares the current data of the application being tested to the
expected data captured earlier. If any mismatches are found, WinRunner captures them as actual
results.

90. How do you analyze results and report the defects?

Following each test run, WinRunner displays the results in a report. The report details all the
major events that occurred during the run, such as checkpoints, error messages, system
messages, or user messages. If mismatches are detected at checkpoints during the test run, you
can view the expected

91. What is the use of Test Director software?

TestDirector is Mercury Interactive’s software test management tool. It helps quality assurance
personnel plan and organize the testing process. With TestDirector you can create a database of
manual and automated tests, build test cycles, run tests, and report and track defects. You can
also

92. How you integrated your automated scripts from TestDirector?

When you work with WinRunner, you can choose to save your tests directly to your TestDirector
database or while creating a test case in the TestDirector we can specify whether the script in
automated or manual. And if it is automated script then TestDirector will build a skeleton for the
script

93. What are the different modes of recording?

There are two type of recording in WinRunner. i. Context Sensitive recording records the
operations you perform on your application by identifying Graphical User Interface (GUI) objects.
Jagan Mohan Julooru

ii. Analog recording records keyboard input, mouse clicks, and the precise x- and y-coordinates
traveled by

94. What is the purpose of loading WinRunner Add-Ins?

Add-Ins are used in WinRunner to load functions specific to the particular add-in to the memory.
While creating a script only those functions in the addin selected will be listed in the function
generator and while executing the script only those functions in the loaded add-in will be
executed

95. What are the reasons that WinRunner fails to identify an object on the GUI?
WinRunner fails to identify an object in a GUI due to various reasons. i. The object is not a
standard windows object. ii. If the browser used is not compatible with the WinRunner version,
GUI Map Editor will not be able to learn any of the objects displayed in the browser window.

96. What do you mean by the logical name of the object.

An object’s logical name is determined by its class. In most cases, the logical name is the label
that appears on an object.

97. If the object does not have a name then what will be the logical name?
If the object does not have a name then the logical name could be the attached text.

98. What is the different between GUI map and GUI map files?
The GUI map is actually the sum of one or more GUI map files. There are two modes for
organizing GUI map files. i. Global GUI Map file: a single GUI Map file for the entire application ii.
GUI Map File per Test: WinRunner automatically creates a GUI Map file for each test created.
GUI Map file

99. How do you view the contents of the GUI map?

GUI Map editor displays the content of a GUI Map. We can invoke GUI Map Editor from the Tools
Menu in WinRunner. The GUI Map Editor displays the various GUI Map files created and the
windows and objects learned in to them with their logical name and physical description.

100. When you create GUI map do you record all the objects of specific objects?
If we are learning a window then WinRunner automatically learns all the objects in the window
else we will we identifying those object, which are to be learned in a window, since we will be
working with only those objects while creating scripts.

101. What is the purpose of set_window command?

Set_Window command sets the focus to the specified window. We use this command to set the
focus to the required window before executing tests on a particular window. Syntax:
set_window(<logical name>, time); The logical name is the logical name of the window and time
is the time the execution

102. How do you load GUI map?

We can load a GUI Map by using the GUI_load command. Syntax: GUI_load(<file_name>);

103. What is the disadvantage of loading the GUI maps through start up scripts?
If we are using a single GUI Map file for the entire AUT then the memory used by the GUI Map
may be much high. If there is any change in the object being learned then WinRunner will not be
able to recognize the object, as it is not in the GUI Map file loaded in the memory. So we will have
to learn

104. How do you unload the GUI map?

We can use GUI_close to unload a specific GUI Map file or else we call use GUI_close_all
command to unload all the GUI Map files loaded in the memory. Syntax:
GUI_close(<file_name>); or GUI_close_all;
Jagan Mohan Julooru

105. What actually happens when you load GUI map?

When we load a GUI Map file, the information about the windows and the objects with their logical
names and physical description are loaded into memory. So when the WinRunner executes a
script on a particular window, it can identify the objects using this information loaded in the
memory.

106. What is the purpose of the temp GUI map file?

While recording a script, WinRunner learns objects and windows by itself. This is actually stored
into the temporary GUI Map file. We can specify whether we have to load this temporary GUI
Map file should be loaded each time in the General Options.

107. What is the extension of gui map file?

The extension for a GUI Map file is “.gui”.

108. How do you find an object in an GUI map.

The GUI Map Editor is been provided with a Find and Show Buttons. i. To find a particular object
in the GUI Map file in the application, select the object and click the Show window. This blinks the
selected object. ii. To find a particular object in a GUI Map file click the Find button, which gives

109. What different actions are performed by find and show button?
To find a particular object in the GUI Map file in the application, select the object and click the
Show window. This blinks the selected object. To find a particular object in a GUI Map file click
the Find button, which gives the option to select the object. When the object is selected, if the

110. How do you identify which files are loaded in the GUI map?
The GUI Map Editor has a drop down “GUI File” displaying all the GUI Map files loaded into the
memory.

111. How do you modify the logical name or the physical description of the objects in GUI
map?
You can modify the logical name or the physical description of an object in a GUI map file using
the GUI Map Editor.

112. When do you feel you need to modify the logical name?
Changing the logical name of an object is useful when the assigned logical name is not
sufficiently descriptive or is too long.

113. What is the purpose of regexp_label property and regexp_MSW_class property?

The regexp_label property is used for windows only. It operates “behind the scenes” to insert a
regular expression into a window’s label description.The regexp_MSW_class property inserts a
regular expression into an object’s MSW_class. It is obligatory for all types of windows

114. How do you suppress a regular expression?

We can suppress the regular expression of a window by replacing the regexp_label property with
label property.

115. How do you copy and move objects between different GUI map files?
We can copy and move objects between different GUI Map files using the GUI Map Editor. The
steps to be followed are: i. Choose Tools > GUI Map Editor to open the GUI Map Editor. ii.
Choose View > GUI Files. iii. Click Expand in the GUI Map Editor. The dialog box expands to
display two GUI

116. How do you select multiple objects during merging the files?
Use the Shift key and/or Control key to select multiple objects. To select all objects in a GUI map
file, choose Edit > Select All.
Jagan Mohan Julooru

117. How do you clear a GUI map files?

We can clear a GUI Map file using the “Clear All” option in the GUI Map Editor.

118. How do you filter the objects in the GUI map?

GUI Map Editor has a Filter option. This provides for filtering with 3 different types of options. i.
Logical name displays only objects with the specified logical name. ii. Physical description
displays only objects matching the specified physical description. Use any substring belonging to
the

119. How do you configure GUI map?

When WinRunner learns the description of a GUI object, it does not learn all its properties.
Instead, it learns the minimum number of properties to provide a unique identification of the
object.Many applications also contain custom GUI objects. A custom object is any object not
belonging to one

120. What is the purpose of GUI map configuration?

GUI Map configuration is used to map a custom object to a standard object.

121. How do you make the configuration and mappings permanent?

The mapping and the configuration you set are valid only for the current WinRunner session. To
make the mapping and the configuration permanent, you must add configuration statements to
your startup test script.

122. What is the purpose of GUI spy?

Using the GUI Spy, you can view the properties of any GUI object on your desktop. You use the
Spy pointer to point to an object, and the GUI Spy displays the properties and their values in the
GUI Spy dialog box. You can choose to view all the properties of an object, or only the selected
set of

123. What is the purpose of obligatory and optional properties of the objects?
For each class, WinRunner learns a set of default properties. Each default property is classified
“obligatory” or “optional”. i. An obligatory property is always learned (if it exists). ii. An optional
property is used only if the obligatory properties do not provide unique

124. When the optional properties are learned?

An optional property is used only if the obligatory properties do not provide unique identification of
an object.

125. What is the purpose of location indicator and index indicator in GUI map
configuration?
In cases where the obligatory and optional properties do not uniquely identify an object,
WinRunner uses a selector to differentiate between them. Two types of selectors are available: i.
A location selector uses the spatial position of objects.

126. How do you handle custom objects?

A custom object is any GUI object not belonging to one of the standard classes used by
WinRunner. WinRunner learns such objects under the generic “object” class. WinRunner records
operations on custom objects using obj_mouse_ statements. b. If a custom object is similar to a
standard

127. What is the name of custom class in WinRunner and what methods it applies on the
custom objects?
WinRunner learns custom class objects under the generic “object” class. WinRunner records
operations on custom objects using obj_ statements.
Jagan Mohan Julooru

128. In a situation when obligatory and optional both the properties cannot uniquely
identify an object what
In cases where the obligatory and optional properties do not uniquely identify an object,
WinRunner uses a selector to differentiate between them. Two types of selectors are available: i.
A location selector uses the spatial position of objects. ii. An index selector uses a unique number
to identify

129. What is the purpose of different record methods 1) Record 2) Pass up 3) As Object 4)
Ignore.
Record instructs WinRunner to record all operations performed on a GUI object. This is the
default record method for all classes. (The only exception is the static class (static text), for which
the default is Pass Up.) b. Pass Up instructs WinRunner to record an operation performed on this
class

130. How do you find out which is the start up file in WinRunner?
The test script name in the Startup Test box in the Environment tab in the General Options dialog
box is the start up file in WinRunner.

131. What are the virtual objects and how do you learn them?
Applications may contain bitmaps that look and behave like GUI objects. WinRunner records
operations on these bitmaps using win_mouse_click statements. By defining a bitmap as a virtual
object, you can instruct WinRunner to treat it like a GUI object such as a push button, when you
record and run

132. What are the two modes of recording?

There are 2 modes of recording in WinRunner i. Context Sensitive recording records the
operations you perform on your application by identifying Graphical User Interface (GUI)
objects.ii. Analog recording records keyboard input, mouse clicks, and the precise x- and y-
coordinates traveled by the mouse

133. What is a checkpoint and what are different types of checkpoints?

Checkpoints allow you to compare the current behavior of the application being tested to its
behavior in an earlier version. You can add four types of checkpoints to your test scripts: i. GUI
checkpoints verify information about GUI objects. For example, you can check that a button is
enabled or

134. What are data driven tests?

When you test your application, you may want to check how it performs the same operations with
multiple sets of dat

135. What are the synchronization points?

Synchronization points enable you to solve anticipated timing problems between the test and your
application. For example, if you create a test that opens a database application, you can add a
synchronization point that causes the test to wait until the database records are loaded on the
screen.

136. What is parameterizing?

In order for WinRunner to use data to drive the test, you must link the data to the test script which
it drives. This is called parameterizing your test. The data is stored in a data table.

137. How do you maintain the document information of the test scripts?

suspend the test run and wait for a cue before continuing the test.b. You can a synchronization
point

148. What do you verify with the sync point for object/window bitmap and what command
it generates, explain
You can create a bitmap synchronization point that waits for the bitmap of an object or a window
to appear in the application being tested. b. During a test run, WinRunner suspends test
execution until the specified bitmap is redrawn, and then compares the current bitmap with the
expected one captured

149. What do you verify with the sync point for screen area and what command it
generates, explain synta
For screen area verification we actually capture the screen area into a bitmap and verify the
application screen area with the bitmap file during execution Syntax: obj_wait_bitmap(object,
image, time, x, y, width, height);

150. How do you edit checklist file and when do you need to edit the checklist file?
WinRunner has an edit checklist file option under the create menu. Select the “Edit GUI
Checklist” to modify GUI checklist file and “Edit Database Checklist” to edit database checklist
file. This brings up a dialog box that gives you option to select the checklist file

151. How do you edit the expected value of an object?

file.
Jagan Mohan Julooru

157. How do you parameterize database check points?

When you create a standard database checkpoint using ODBC (Microsoft Query), you can add
parameters to an SQL statement to parameterize the checkpoint. This is useful if you want to
create a database checkpoint with a query in which the SQL statement defining your query
changes.

158. How do you create parameterize SQL commands?

A parameterized query is a query in which at least one of the fields of the WHERE clause is
parameterized, i.e., the value of the field is specified by a question mark symbol ( ? ). For
example, the following SQL statement is based on a query on the database in the sample Flight
Reservation application

single field in

160. What check points you will use to read and check text on the GUI and explain its
syntax?
You can use text checkpoints in your test scripts to read and check text in GUI objects and in
areas of the screen. While creating a test you point to an object or a window containing text.
WinRunner reads the text and writes a TSL statement to the test script. You may then add simple
programming

161. Explain Get Text checkpoint from object/window with syntax?

We use obj_get_text (<logical_name>, <out_text>) function to get the text from an object b. We

Jagan Mohan Julooru

data-driven test. For example, your test script may include recorded operations, checkpoints, and
other statements that do not need to be repeated for multiple sets of data

168. What are the three modes of running the scripts?

WinRunner provides three modes in which to run tests—Verify, Debug, and Update. You use
each mode during a different phase of the testing process. i. Verify 1. Use the Verify mode to
check your application. ii. Debug 1. Use the Debug mode to help you identify bugs in a test script

169. Explain the following TSL functions:

Ddt_open i. Creates or opens a datatable file so that WinRunner can access it. Syntax: ddt_open

table variable name, the Microsoft Excel file or a tabbed text file name, or the full path and file
name of the

170. How do you handle unexpected events and errors?

WinRunner uses exception handling to detect an unexpected event when it occurs and act to
recover the test run. WinRunner enables you to handle the following types of exceptions: Pop-up
exceptions: Instruct WinRunner to detect and handle the appearance of a specific window. TSL
exceptions: Instruct

171. How do you handle pop-up exceptions?

A pop-up exception Handler handles the pop-up messages that come up during the execution of
the script in the AUT. TO handle this type of exception we make WinRunner learn the window
and also specify a handler to the exception. It could be i. Default actions: WinRunner clicks the
OK or Cancel button

172. How do you handle TSL exceptions?

A TSL exception enables you to detect and respond to a specific error code returned during test
execution. b. Suppose you are running a batch test on an unstable version of your application. If
your application crashes, you want WinRunner to recover test execution. A TSL exception can
instruct

173. How do you handle object exceptions?

During testing, unexpected changes can occur to GUI objects in the application you are testing.
These changes are often subtle but they can disrupt the test run and distort results. b. You could
use exception handling to detect a change in property of the GUI object during the test run, and to
recover

174. How do you comment your script?

We comment a script or line of script by inserting a ‘#’ at the beginning of the line.

175. What is a compile module?

A compiled module is a script containing a library of user-defined functions that you want to call
frequently from other tests. When you load a compiled module, its functions are automatically
compiled and remain in memory. You can call them directly from within any test.

176. Write and explain decision making command?

You can incorporate decision-making into your test scripts using if/else or switch statements. i. An
if/else statement executes a statement if a condition is true; otherwise, it executes another
statement. It has the following syntax: if ( expression ) statement1; [ else statement2; ] expression

177. Write and explain switch command?

A switch statement enables WinRunner to make a decision based on an expression that can
have more than two values. It has the following syntax: switch (expression ) { case case_1:
statements case case_2: statements case case_n: statements default: statement(s) } b. The
switch statement consecutively

application being tested. ii. Add Standard and Analog functions that perform non-Context
Sensitive tasks such

182. What is the use of putting call and call_close statements in the test script?
You can use two types of call statements to invoke one test from another: i. A call statement
invokes a test from within another test. ii. A call_close statement invokes a test from within a
script and closes the test when the test is completed.

183. What is the use of treturn and texit statements in the test script?
The treturn and texit statements are used to stop execution of called tests. i. The treturn
statement stops the current test and returns control to the calling test. ii. The texit statement stops
test execution entirely, unless tests are being called from a batch test. In this case, control is

184. Where do you set up the search path for a called test.
The search path determines the directories that WinRunner will search for a called test. b. To set
the search path, choose Settings > General Options. The General Options dialog box opens.
Click the Folders tab and choose a search path in the Search Path for Called Tests box.
WinRunner searches

185. How you create user-defined functions and explain the syntax?

declarations; statements; }b. The class of a function can be either static or public. A static function
is available only to the test or module within which the function was defined. c. d. Parameters

186. What does static and public class of a function means?

The class of a function can be either static or public. b. A static function is available only to the

available to all tests, for as long as the test containing the function remains open. This is

187. What does in, out and input parameters means?

in: A parameter that is assigned a value from outside the function. b. out: A parameter that is
assigned a value from inside the function. c. inout: A parameter that can be assigned a value
from outside or inside the function.

188. What is the purpose of return statement?

This statement passes control back to the calling function or test. It also returns the value of the
evaluated expression to the calling function or test. If no expression is assigned to the return
statement, an empty string is returned. Syntax: return [( expression )];

189. What does auto, static, public and extern variables means?
auto: An auto variable can be declared only within a function and is local to that function. It exists
Jagan Mohan Julooru

only for as long as the function is running. A new copy of the variable is created each time the
function is called. b. static: A static variable is local to the function, test, or compiled module

190. How do you declare constants?

The const specifier indicates that the declared value cannot be modified. The class of a constant
may be either public or static. If no class is explicitly declared, the constant is assigned the default
class public. Once a constant is defined, it remains in existence until you exit WinRunner.

191. How do you declare arrays?

The following syntax is used to define the class and the initial expression of an array. Array size
need not be defined in TSL. b. class array_name [ ] [=init_expression] c. The array class may be
any of the classes used for variable declarations (auto, static, public, extern).

192. How do you load and unload a compile module?

In order to access the functions in a compiled module you need to load the module. You can load
it from within any test script using the load command; all tests will then be able to access the
function until you quit WinRunner or unload the compiled module. b. You can load a module
either as

193. Why you use reload function?

If you make changes in a module, you should reload it. The reload function removes a loaded
module from memory and reloads it (combining the functions of unload and load). The syntax of
the reload function is: reload ( module_name [ ,1|0 ] [ ,1|0 ] ); The module_name is the name of
an existing compiled

194. How do you load and unload external libraries?

195. What are batch tests and how do you create and run batch tests ?
A batch test is a script that contains call statements to other tests.A batch test is created by
selecting the "Run in batch mode" from the run tab in the Tools-->General Options. A batch test
runs as a regular test. The only difference being that all messages like pause,wait...etc are
suppressed

196. How do you execute your tests from windows run command?
u can execute ur test in c compiler with window run command.as tsl is c based language

A good tester will always try to reduce the repro steps to the minimal steps to reproduce; this is
extremely helpful for the programmer who has to find the bug. Remember that the only person
who can close a bug is the person who opened it in the first place. Anyone can resolve it, but only
the person

TESTING COMMON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

1. what is contained in srs?,give a sample srs.what is cohesive testing and span

control?

2. What is Difference Between QA plan and Test Plan?

QA is more over prevention thing which works towards non occurance of error- were as tesplan
come s in testin i.e in quality control which works towards how to identify defects/errors

3. what is the Test server

4. What are all the key factors to write system test plan?
keyfactors

5. How to perform integration testing on a web application? What are the considerations?
Detailed pls.

6. If you have an application, but you do not have any requiremnts available, then how
would you perform
With out a requirements documents how can u develop an application .if it is developed without
any requirements then the application is made with assumptions .Then testing is done depending
on the assumptions made through application.In this case, if you are going to work for some
company,

7. How can you know if a test case is necessary?

8. What is peer review in practical terms?

Test cases written by a QA engineer will be reviewed (for correctness) by fellow QA Engineer.

9. How do you know when you have enough test cases to adequately test a software
system or module?

10. Who approved your test cases?

It depends on the organization. QA Lead, if present, will approve the test cases. Otherwise, Peer
Reviews are a good way of evaluating the test cases.

11. What will you when you find a bug?

1)Execute some more tests, to make clear what the bug EXCATLY is. Suppose, the test case
failed when State=NY and Class=Business. Tester has to exceute some more tests to find out
whether the problem is with Just 'NY' state or with just 'Business' class or with both of them
together.2) Report the bug

12. What test plans have you written?

Master Test plan is usually prepared by QA Lead. Testers write Test Cases, which in some
organizations are called as Test Plans.

13. What is QA? What is Testing? Are they both same or different?
Testing is subset of QA. Testing is just a phase that comes after coding. But QA is the one that
should be incorporated into the entire Software Development Life Cycle.

14. How to write Negative Testcase?Give ex.

Negative test cases are written based on thinking abt AUT in a destructive manner in the
sense,what happens if i test the application with irrelevant inputs.

15. In an application currently in production, one module of code is being modified. Is it

necessary to re-
Jagan Mohan Julooru

1) Test the modified module2) Test all the other modules/areas of the application which will have
direct/indirect interaction with the modified module.

16. What is included in test strategy?What is overall process of testing step by step and
what are various
Test strategy is creating a procedure of how to test the software and creating a strategy what all
to be tested(screens,process,modules,..)and time limts for testing process(automated or manual)
.So everything has to be planned and implemented.Testing overall procedure isThe duties of
software test

17. What is the most challenging situation you had during testing

18. what are you going to do if there is no Functional Spec or any documents related to
the system and developer
First of all, when a developer left then another one in or someone assigned to take care of the
responsibilities.Most of the functional testing needs more knowledge about the product then the
code. Be familiarize with the code. Research similar product in the market. Increase
communication with related

19. What is the major problem did you resolve during testing process

20. What are the types of functional testing?

There are followingtypes of functional testing.1. Functionality testing.2. Input domain
testing.3.Error handling testing.about 90% of the functional testing will be covered with teh
completion of above three.4. Recovery testing.5.Compatibility testing6.Configuration
testing7.Intersystems testing8.Installation

21. 1.how will u write integration test cases2.how will u track bugs from winrunner3.how u
customise the
A use case is a description of how end-users will use a software code. It describes a task or a
series of tasks that users will accomplish using the software, and includes the responses of the
software to user actions. Use cases may be included in the Software Requirements Document
(SRD) as a way of

22. what is the difference between smoke testing and sanity testing
smoke testing is conducted by development people according to the clients requirements.the first
test conducted by testing people when build is received is called sanity testing.in sanity testing
testing people check the basic functionality i.e whether all buttons are working or not etc

23. What is Random Testing?

Random data tests confort the application under test with input data generated at
random.Typically,testers pay no attention to expect data types.They feed a random sequence of
numbers,letters & characters into nummeric data field.

24. What is smoke testing?

during this test test engineer reject build with reason, when that build is not working before testing
process

25. What is stage containment in testing?

26. Security testing and Performance testing on Communication interface

27. what are the steps in volved in sanity testing?

Sanity testing is same as smoke testing. It involves intial testing of the application or module just
make sure wether it is stable enough to start testing. Mostly used as a bench mark to gather the
readiness of the application for automated testing
Jagan Mohan Julooru

28. How do we do calculation testing in banking ferm?

29. What is the Difference Between Rational Robot & WinRunner ?

-> Winrunner is just a functional Tool where as Robot, we can use it for both functional (GUI) and
performance(VU).-> WR has 4 check points where as Robot has 13 verification points.

30. What is the testing process?

Verifying that an input data produce the expected output.

31. What is the difference between testing and quality assurance (QA)?
This question is surprisingly popular. However, the answer is quite simple. The goals of both are
different: The goal of testing is to find the errors. The goal of QA is to prevent the errors in the
program.

32. Difference between QA and QC?

simple definitions are: QA:assurance for process control.here we r going to follow certain quality
standards and strive for process improvement.we r not going to deal with product.the intension is
to follow good quality standards.if we follow these automatically we are going to produce
better/best

33. what is the difference between retest and regression testing?

hello friends regarding retesting and regression testing this is very important interview question
which is asked for every one of us.so as far as my knowledge.retesting:if any modifications r done
in the application then testing that particular unit is retesting.regression testing

34. What is the difference between bug priority & bug severity?
HiPrority : Urgency Of the BugSeverity : Impact of the Bug

35. What kinds of testing do you know? What is it system testing? What is it integration
testing? What is
You theoretical background and home work may shine in this question. System testing is a
testing of the entire system as a whole. This is what user see and feels about the product you
provide. Integration testing is the testing of integration of different modules of the system. Usually,
the integration

36. What is a bug? What types of bugs do you know?

Bug is a error during execution of the program. There are two types of bugs: syntax and logical.

37. What is the difference between structural and functional testing?

Structural is a "white box" testing and based on the algorithm or code. Functional testing is a
"black box" (behavioral) testing where the tester verifies the functional specification.

38. What is defect density?

defect density = Total number of defects/LOCHere the Total number of defects include the
defects from Review and from the customer also

39. How would you test a mug (chair/table/gas station etc.)?

First of all you must demand requirements and functional specification and design document of
the mug. There will find requirements like ability to hold hot water, waterproof, stability, break
ability and so on. Then you should test the mug according to all documents.

40. What is considered a successful test?

A test that discovered more errors. The whole purpose of testing process is to discover as many
bugs and errors as possible. Test that covers more functionality and discovers more errors in
your software product, therefore considered more successful.
Jagan Mohan Julooru

41. What bug tracking system did you use?

Again and again, it does not matter what bug tracking system did you use if you made your
homework and invented the name of such or mentioned a standard one. You may say you've
used proprietary bug tracking system (works especially well if you previous company was this
way or another dealing with databases)

42. When does testing begin - requirements, plan, design, code / testing phase?
Obviously Testing will begins in requirement phase.

43. Could you test a program 100%? 90%? Why?

Definitely not! The major problem with testing that you cannot calculate how many error are in the
code, functioning etc. There are many factors involved such as experience of programmer,
complexity of the system etc.

44. What is the difference between testing and debugging?

Big difference is that debugging is conducted by a programmer and the programmer fix the errors
during debugging phase. Tester never fixes the errors, but rather find them and return to
programmer.

45. How would you conduct your test?

Each test is based on the technical requirements of the software product.

46. Have you used automatic testing tools. Which ones?

If you never have seen automation tools before, do not try to fool around the interviewer. You
produce a bad impression when "caught" on lying to the interviewer. However, if you ever used
the automation tools, it would be a huge advantage for us to mention them even if those tools
were proprietary automation

47. How would you build a test with WinRunner? Rational Visual Test?
First of all, see the comments to the previous question. Then, all automation testing tools I ever
heard of have a GUI recorder which allows you to record the basic user interactions with the
software underneath. Then, you manually update your initial script to suit your needs. You must
know scripting

48. What is considered a good test?

Good test is a test covering most of the object's functionality.

49. How would you conduct a test: top-down or down-top? What is it? Which one is
better?
Down-Top: unit -> interface -> system. Top-Down is a vice versa. You may use both, but down-
top allows to discover malfunctioning at earlier phases of development and cheaper to fix than in
the case of top-down.

50. How to develop a test plan ? How to develop a test case?

Test plan consists of test cases. Test cases you develop according to requirement and design
documents of the unit, system etc. You may be asked what would you do if you are not provided
with requirements documents. Then, you start creating your test cases based on functionality of
the system. You should

51. How do you see a QA role in the product development life cycle?
QA should be involved in early stages of the development process in order to create an adequate
test cases and better general understanding of the system. QA, however, must be separated from
the development team to ensure that there is no influence of developers on QA engineers. As a
last resort before
Jagan Mohan Julooru

52. What is the size of your executable?

10MB. Who cares? You should demonstrate that you can't be caught with unexpected questions.
This question is one of the dumbest, but you must react accordingly. Tell any reasonable number
you want, but be careful not to exaggerate!

53. What version of Oracle database did you use?

Homework. Tell any version number you want - not many interviewers know the difference at
version level. However, do not tell any numbers if you never worked with Oracle!

54. How would you execute a SQL query in Oracle 8?

Again, if you ever worked with Oracle, this question should be trivial for you to answer (from
command prompt, of course) If you never worked with Oracle, note politely that you did not touch
an Oracle database on your career path.

55. What version of OS were you using?

Tell whatever you want - you can't be caught here. Popular answers are Windows 95/98,
Windows 2000 (make sure you know various flavors) and various Unix flavors (AIX, Solaris,
SunOS, HPUX etc.)

56. Have you tested front-end of back-end?

In other word you are asked if you tested GUI part of the application or server part of your
application.

57. What was the most difficult problem you ever found while testing?
This is homework. Think about one and give it as an example.

58. What were you responsible to test in your previous company?

This is homework for you. Actually, this question is a test of the knowledge of your own resume.
You must know your real or fake resume as a bible. Practice in front of mirror or ask you

59. Why do you like to test?

You enjoy bug hunting process, feel great being between developers and customers, your
background and experience are targeting the testing techniques enhancements and you feel
proud of your contribution to the whole development process.

60. What role do you see yourself in 2-3 years from now? Would you want to become a
developer?
You should not concentrate the attention of the interviewer on your wish to become a developer.
You are being hired for testing role and you should demonstrate reliability. Team lead of QA team
is OK, but do not answer yes when asked if you are willing to become a developer.
