Software Testing - Important Questions & Answers

1. What is Software Testing?


Answer: Software Testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software product or
application does what it is supposed to do.

2. Why is Software Testing important?


Answer: It helps identify defects, ensures software quality, improves security, and enhances user
satisfaction.

3. What are the different levels of testing?


Answer: Unit Testing, Integration Testing, System Testing, Acceptance Testing.

4. What is Unit Testing?


Answer: Testing individual components or modules of software in isolation.

5. What is Integration Testing?


Answer: Testing the combination of different modules and how they work together.

6. What is System Testing?


Answer: Testing the entire application as a whole to verify it meets requirements.

7. What is Acceptance Testing?


Answer: Ensuring the software meets the business requirements and is ready for release.

8. What are functional and non-functional testing?


Answer: Functional testing checks what the software does, while non-functional testing checks how
it performs.

9. What is Regression Testing?


Answer: Retesting unchanged parts of the application to ensure new changes haven't introduced
defects.

10. What is Smoke Testing?


Answer: A preliminary test to check the basic functionality of an application before deeper testing.

11. What is Alpha Testing?


Answer: Testing performed by internal testers before releasing to users.

12. What is Beta Testing?


Answer: Testing performed by real users in a live environment before final release.

13. What is White Box Testing?


Answer: A testing technique where the internal structure of the code is tested.
14. What is Black Box Testing?
Answer: A testing technique where only inputs and outputs are tested, without knowing the internal
code structure.

15. What is Grey Box Testing?


Answer: A combination of White Box and Black Box testing approaches.

16. What is Exploratory Testing?


Answer: Testing an application without a predefined test plan, exploring its functionality as a user.

17. What is Performance Testing?


Answer: Testing how the application performs under various conditions.

18. What is Load Testing?


Answer: Testing how the system performs under expected load conditions.

19. What is Stress Testing?


Answer: Testing the system under extreme conditions to determine its breaking point.

20. What is Usability Testing?


Answer: Evaluating how easy and user-friendly an application is.

21. What is Security Testing?


Answer: Ensuring the application is secure from potential threats and vulnerabilities.

22. What is Compatibility Testing?


Answer: Checking if the application works on different devices, browsers, and operating systems.

23. What is Automation Testing?


Answer: Using scripts and tools to perform tests automatically.

24. What are some common automation testing tools?


Answer: Selenium, JUnit, TestNG, Cucumber, Appium.

25. What is Manual Testing?


Answer: Testing performed by a human without using automation tools.

26. What is a Test Case?


Answer: A set of conditions used to determine whether an application works as expected.

27. What is a Test Plan?


Answer: A document that outlines the testing strategy, objectives, schedule, and scope.

28. What is a Defect?


Answer: A flaw or error in the software that causes incorrect results.

29. What is the difference between Verification and Validation?


Answer: Verification checks if the product is being built correctly; Validation checks if the right
product is being built.

30. What is Static Testing?


Answer: Testing without executing the code, such as reviewing documents or inspecting code.

31. What is Dynamic Testing?


Answer: Testing that involves executing the application code.

32. What is End-to-End Testing?


Answer: Testing the complete application workflow to ensure everything works together correctly.

33. What is API Testing?


Answer: Testing application programming interfaces (APIs) to verify data exchange between
software systems.

34. What is Agile Testing?


Answer: Testing performed continuously as part of an Agile development process.

35. What is the difference between SDLC and STLC?


Answer: SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) defines software creation; STLC (Software
Testing Life Cycle) defines testing stages.

36. What is a Bug Life Cycle?


Answer: The different stages a bug goes through: New, Assigned, Open, Fixed, Retested, Verified,
Closed.

37. What is Acceptance Criteria?


Answer: The conditions a product must satisfy to be accepted by the customer.

38. What is a Test Environment?


Answer: A setup of software and hardware where testing is conducted.

39. What is Risk-Based Testing?


Answer: Prioritizing testing efforts based on the potential risk of failure.

40. What is Sanity Testing?


Answer: A quick check to verify that a specific function is working after a minor fix.

41. What is the difference between Retesting and Regression Testing?


Answer: Retesting verifies that a fixed defect is corrected; Regression Testing ensures new changes
don't affect existing functionality.

42. What is Code Coverage?


Answer: A metric that measures how much of the code has been tested.
43. What is Boundary Value Analysis?
Answer: A testing technique that checks edge cases at the boundary limits of input values.

44. What is Equivalence Partitioning?


Answer: Dividing input values into valid and invalid groups for testing.

45. What is Defect Density?


Answer: The number of defects per unit of software (e.g., per thousand lines of code).
