Q. Explain different layers of automated tests.
Answer: There are three different layers of automated tests:
1) Lowest Tier: (UNIT Test)
- These are easiest to implement.
- These tests focus on testing individual units of codebase.
- They verify smallest parts of application such as function, method or classes.
- They are fast to execute and provide immediate feedback.
- Most tests should be done at this level as they are cheap and provide highest ROI.
2) Middle Tier: (API/ Acceptance test)
- These are easier to implement than Top Tier or GUI tests.
- These tests verify that we are building the right thing.
- These tests cover larger sets of functionality than unit test layer.
- This test bypasses the presentation layer making it less expensive to write and maintain.
3) Top Tier: (GUI Test)
- These are the most difficult to implement since requires changes in GUI.
- These tests provide the lowest ROI.
- These tests may take hours to run.
- Example can be, changing the name and button positions of an HTML page.
- These tests should include lowest number of tests.
Q. Write a short note on internationalization testing.
- Internationalization testing is the process that ensures that softwares functionality is not broken and all the messages are properly externalized when used in different languages and locale.
- Application needs to work uniformly under different cultures, customs, standards,etc.
- The tester must be fluent in each language used to test the system in order to confirm proper translation of screens, reports, error messages, etc.
- Internationalization testing is also called as I18N tseting.
- It includes testing of code for how it handles input, strings an dsorting items.
- It checks the display of messages for various languages.
- it checks processing of messages for various langiaes and conventions.
Q. Write a short note on alpha and beta testing.
- Alpha and beta testing is used to test the softawre which are based on feedback from real customers using real product in real environment.
Alpha testing
- Here company employees test the software for functionality and give the feedback.
- outside users are not involved.
- white box and black box practices are used.
- developers are involved.
- it helps simulate real life environment
- it hhelsp to find serious errors.
dissadvanatges:
- depth functionality cannot be tested.
- sometimes aplha testing results dont help developers and testers.
