Software Testing Interview Question & Answers at Capgemini
Here are the interview Questions asked at Capgemini Pune. We are providing possible Answers list for your reference. Thanks to Murthy for sending these questions and his experience at the interview.
Let’s hope he will get selected for the position. If you attend any interview, please send us the questions at Sendus@SteStuff.com
Questions:
- What is Log sheet? and what are the components in it?
- what are the types of priority and severity?
- Give me some example for high severity and low priority defect?
- Imagine a form with 2 check boxes, 2 list boxes, 2 combo boxes & 2 integer fields. If i want you to write Test cases for this form, how much time it will take and how many cases will you be able to generate?
- What is positive and negative testing.Explain with example?
- What is meant by the Logical name of the object?
Answers:
1. A log sheet is generally a defect Report.Server logs are also attached to the defect,for the developers to check ,what is the behavior of the Application, request and response of the remote server when the defect has occurred.By reading that log sheet,a programmer or developer can understand,why that defect has occurred.This log sheet consists of lines of code according to the series of events that made the defect to occur.
2. Priority: How fast the bug should be resolved.
Severity: How badly it effected the application.
P1 –> Fatal ————- S1 –> Critical
P2 –> Major ————- S2 –> High
P3 –> Minor ————- S3 –> Medium
P4 –> Suggestion ———S4 –> Low
3. If suppose the title of the particular concern is not spelled correctly, it would give a negative impact.eg ICICC is spelled as a title for the project of the concern ICICI.then it is a high severity, low priority defect.
4. These questions are called dynamic questions and you need to be spontaneous to answer this type of questions. Just draw the form immediately on a paper and tell the approximate time of 5 – 7 min and 8 – 10 test cases.
5. Positive Testing – testing the system by giving the valid data.
Negative Testing – testing the system by giving the Invalid data.
For Exam application contains a textbox and as per the user’s Requirements the textbox should accept only Strings. By providing only String as input data to the textbox & to check whether its working properly or not means it is Positive Testing. If giving the input other than String means it is negative Testing.
6. An object’s logical name is determined by its class. In most cases, the logical name is the label that appears on an object.
These are just some of the questions we received. Once again thanks to Murthy for sending & helping the people here. Happy Testing..!

3. If suppose the title of the particular concern is not spelled correctly, it would give a negative impact.eg ICICC is spelled as a title for the project of the concern ICICI.then it is a high severity, low priority defect.
This is low severity and High priority, any way it won’t affect the system

August 4th, 2010
Correct Raghu. I go with you.

As per Raghu its correct. The incorrect spelling won’t affect the application badly. But at the same time it needs to be fixed very urgent because if the end users/public see the text as ‘ICICC’ its very bad to the company.

As per my knowledge, This bug would be defnitely LOw severity and high priorty bug.Tester may take it as just a spelling mistake, but devlpr will take it as it would effect Domain name and end business.
Thankyou.

Yes, It will be Low Severity but High Priority Defect as its affecting(hampering) the business but not affecting the application
January 8th, 2011
its not affect on the customer bisiness but it baddly affect on the customer name so its high severity and low priority.
May 5th, 2011
We cannot consider a ‘Brand Name’ with High severity and low priority.
It should be as High Severity with High Priority.
Reason: The Brand name is the business of particular customer, if it is wrongly posted in the application it affects their business badly
Eg: Gooyle instead Google!!!
Somy instead Sony !!!

Hello Mohanraj,

Hello Friends,
Thanks for posting the ans and it is appreciated.
Well, Sorry Author, but I am not satisfy with the ans no.3. Because ICICC doesn’t effect any on the application’s functionality instead effects the productivity of the business. I think this kind of defect should have High priority and Low severity, because priority is with respect to the customer business and severity is with respect to the application’s functionality. And here ICICC effects the clients business.
Please correct me, If I am wrong and mail me for any clarification.
Thanks
