33 Quality Measures Questions And Answers

1⟩ How to measures customer satisfaction for the Product?

(Quality ultimately is measured in terms of customer satisfaction.)

Surveyed before product delivery and after product delivery (and on-going on a periodic basis, using standard questionnaires)

Number of system enhancement requests per year

Number of maintenance fix requests per year

User friendliness: call volume to customer service hotline

User friendliness: training time per new user

Number of product recalls or fix releases (software vendors)

Number of production re-runs (in-house information systems groups)

2⟩ Define Quality Control (QC)?

Concern with the quality of the product. QC finds the defects and suggests improvements. The process set by QA is implemented by QC. The QC is the responsibility of the tester.

Availability (percentage of time a system is available, versus the time the system is needed to be available)

Mean time between failure (MTBF)

Mean time to repair (MTTR)

Reliability ratio (MTBF / MTTR)

Number of product recalls or fix releases

4⟩ Define Quality Assurance (QA)?

QA refers to the planned and systematic way of monitoring the quality of process which is followed to produce a quality product. QA tracks the outcomes and adjusts the process to meet the expectation.

16⟩ Tell me what you know about Testware?

✰ The subset of software which helps in performing the testing of application.

✰ Testware is term given to combination of all utilities and application software that required for testing a software package.

✰ Testware are required to plan, design, and execute tests. It contains documents, scripts, inputs, expected results, set-up and additional software or utilities used in testing.

18⟩ List the benefits of destructive testing?

Benefits of Destructive Testing (DT):

✰ Verifies properties of a material

✰ Determines quality of welds

✰ Helps you to reduce failures, accidents and costs

✰ Ensures compliance with regulations

19⟩ What is regression testing, Why it is important?

Regression Testing: When changes in the code of the software are made to fix the previous bug. Then testing needs to be perform to ensure that it will not generate a new bug in the application and it works as specified and that it has not negatively impacted any functionality that it offered previously.

Regression Testing is important because of following reason:

✰ That the application works even after the alteration in the code were made.

✰ The original functionality continues to work as specified even after doing changes in the software application.

✰ The alteration to the software application has not introduced any new bugs.

20⟩ List key challenges of software testing?

✰ Application should be stable enough to be tested.

✰ Testing always under time constraint.

✰ Understanding requirements, Domain knowledge and business user perspective understanding.

✰ Which tests to execute first?

✰ Testing the Complete Application.

✰ Regression testing.

✰ Lack of skilled testers.

✰ Changing requirements.

✰ Lack of resources, tools and training.
