System testing is a type of Black box testing. System Testing means testing the application. After the Integration testing usually will do system testing. Functionality, Regression, and performance testing comes

Under system testing.

Re: Tell me the scenario where severity Low and Priority High?

Answer# 1

Lets take an example of "LOGIN APPLICATION". U r typing Correct "USER ID" and "PASSWORD" and click "OK" button it Is not going to the next page so this is a bug. This bug Has "LOW SEVERITY" and "HIGH PRIORITY”. If in the same Example the systems crashes or hangs then we have to Give "HIGH SEVERITY" and "HIGH PRIORITY".

Re: What are the test methodologies??

Answer# 2

Test methodology - the process in which testing activity is DeterminedExample: water fall model

static testing: Testing of an object without execution on acomputer. (eg. review document,inspection,walk thro')simply said static means verification.

dynamic testing: The process of evaluating a system orcomponent based upon its behaviour during execution(eg. functional testing, regression testing, UAT etc.,)means validation

What is 'configuration management'?

Configuration management covers the processes used to control, coordinate, and track: code, requirements, documentation, problems, change requests, designs, tools/compilers/libraries/patches, changes made to them, and who makes the changes.

How is testing affected by object-oriented designs?

Well-engineered object-oriented design can make it easier to trace from code to internal design to functional design to requirements. While there will be little affect on black box testing (where an understanding of the internal design of the application is unnecessary), white-box testing can be oriented to the application's objects. If the application was well-designed this can simplify test design.

Re: What are the main key components in Web applications and client and Server applications? (differences)Answer

# 1

For Web Applications: Web application can be implemented using any kind of technology like Java, .NET, VB, ASP, CGI& PERL. Based on the technology,We can derive the components.

Let's take Java Web Application. It can be implemented in 3 tier architecture. Presentation tier (jsp, html, dthml,servlets, struts). Busienss Tier (Java Beans, EJB, JMS) Data Tier(Databases like Oracle, SQL Server etc., )

If you take .NET Application, Presentation (ASP, HTML, DHTML), Business Tier(DLL) & Data Tier ( Database like Oracle, SQL Server etc.,)

Client Server Applications: It will have only 2 tiers. One is Presentation (Java, Swing) and Data Tier (Oracle, SQL Server). If it is client Server architecture, The entire application has to be installed on the client machine. When ever you do any changes in your code, Again, It has to be installed on all the client machines. Where as in Web Applications, Core Application will reside on the server and client can be thin Client(broswer). Whatever the changes you do, You have to install the application in the server. NO need to worry about the

clients.Because, You will not install any thing on the client machine.

# 1

The integration Testing is doing for integrated modules. So first of all we required an integrated application to do the integration testing.

Here we have to check wether the integrated modules are working properly or not. This can be do through the integration test cases.

For example Creating a user account and login to the system are two modules.

Here u can see the Create User is a module and Login user Is another module. So First we create a user then with the new username and password we logon to the system. If it is working as per the expectation then the test is pass.
