Software Testing Questions & Answers

  • What criteria you will follow to assign severity ?
Defect severity assigned as follows:
Critical: show stoppers (Linking related)
High: The system is very hard to use and some cases are prone to convert to critical issues ,if not taken care of.
Medium: The system functionality has a major bug but is not too critical but needs to be fixed in order for the AUT to go to production environment.
Low: GUI related defects

  • What is the difference b/w exception and validation testing?

Validation testing aims to demonstrate that the software functions in a manner that can be reasonably expected by the customer. Testing the software in conformance to the Software Requirements Specifications.

Exception testing deals with handling the exceptions (unexpected events) while the AUT is run. Basically this testing involves how to change the control flow of the AUT when an exception arises
