Discuss the differences - latent defects and masked defects..

Below are the differences between Latent and Masked defects:

Latent Defects: These are the defects which are present in the system. These defects remain for a long time and can also be detected in different versions of the software. It may be detected after the release. The main reason for this defect is because the exact set of conditions haven't met.

For Example: February has 28 days. The system will not recognise the leap year and shows an error for leap year. This defect remains in the system and will be recognised in latent defect.

Masked Defects: The main functionality of these defect is that they will hide the other defects in the system. These defects can be observed in page navigations.
If there is a defect in the current page and it causes problem in moving to another page, then the defects in the next page can't be seen.

Explain about calibration Test..

Calibration is a process where a device, or a tool is tested about its working progress. This test will let you know how well the device is working. This calibratrion test is very useful such that every device is tested and it could be known if the device is not working properly.

Give the reasons how the testing affect risk ?

A risk is such a circumstance which arices a great loss to any organisation. The risk cannot be removed completely but can be minimized to some extent. A risk generally transforms to risk.

For example, If you are managing the accounts section in your organisation, and you have commited some mistakes and you have done the incorrect tax calculation. It results risk to your organisation.

But, if this defect is controlled, you can atleast minimize the risk.This minimization of the risk can be done by correct software testing.

Explain about coverage and different types of coverage techniques ?

Coverage is simply a measurement which gives the information about, how much the test case has been exercised.
The different types of coverage techniques are discussed below:

1) Statement coverage: The main advantage of this statement coverage is to identify which blocks of code has been executed in a method or a class.

2) Decision coverage: This is also known as Branch coverage. There will be two outcomes(True/False) for any of the statements like IF/DO-WHILE/CASE. This technique will ensure the outcome should be executed atleast once.

The formula to calculate decision coverage is:

Decision Coverage=(Number of decision outcomes executed/Total number of decision outcomes)*100%

3) Path coverage: In this technique, the test case is executed atleast once in such a way that every path is executed atleast once including all loop paths taken zero, once, and multipe.

Discuss the relation between pilot and beta testing ?

Let us discuss the differences between Pilot and Beta Testing:

Pilot Testing: It is mainly about the quality.In this type of testing, a group of users will try to test on the system,mainly on its full development to provide a feedback on the quality of the product.The users will also provide the feedback on how the technology is useful,and how well it can be improved.

Beta Testing: It is also based on the quality. This Beta testing is done on the client-side. All the end users test the system and check whether the system meets their requirements or not.

What is Binding the Project in Testing ?

Binding project is defined as request for proposal ,estimation or Quotation and signing the project.In simple words we can explain binding project as
First customer will request for the proposal to develop his project. Interested companies will send their proposal .The customer will select the best suitable company which can deliver the best quality this is called binding project.

What is Conventional Testing ?

It is a sort of testing which test engineers will check each and every part developed in the application and to check whether this process is working as per the expectations or not.This testing starts from coding phase and continues till the last phase.
