Answers: (By SteStuff Team)

  1. 80/20 rule explained with examples
  2. Testing starts from starting stage of the SDLC model. Thats the reason everyone is using V-Model as their SDLC models now.
  3. HLD is High Level Design, which means writing up the scenarios from FRS and SRS. LLD is Low Level Design, which means writing up the test cases my making use of those scenarios from HLD.
  4. We use Mantis tool, which is a freeware tool. Bug tracking is required to every organization to track and Report the reports to clients.
  5. No, its not possible. Because we can check the functionality manually but we can’t test the performance of a web based application manually. We need to use load runner kind of tools for sure.
  6. A test engineer should be in capable of thinking in negative way. Negative testing makes you find lots of bugs in software’s. So test engineer should be able to think in positive and negative manners.
  7. My answer was 7 :)
  8. Check it here: Knowing Object Repository!
  9. Check it here: Add sync point while recording
