Q1. Software Testing Question
Explain STLC.
Ans. 
STLC (Software Testing Life Cycle) is a fundamental part of SDLC which is used to test software and ensure that the quality standards are met. It generally involves both verification activities and validation activities. In this, different activities are executed in a specific order throughout the software testing process. There are basically six different phases in STLC. They are as follows :

Q2. Software Testing Question
Write the difference between Test Stub and Test Driver.
Ans. 
Test driver and test stub, both are types of test harness that are used to provide a simulation environment for testing a module or component. They both are dummy modules specially created for test purposes. 

Test stubs: Test stubs are used in a top-down testing approach and allow testing of the upper levels of the code when the lower levels of the code are not developed yet. It is used as ‘called programs’ when su...read more

Q3. Software Testing Question
What is the importance of agile testing?
Ans. 
Agile testing is basically a software testing process that uses agile methodologies i.e., follow test-first design paradigm. It evaluates the software from the customer's point of view. It does not require any development team to complete coding for starting QA, instead of testing and coding can go hand in hand. Features are tested as they are developed. Some of its advantages include : 

1) Boosts the performance a...read more

Q4. Agile Question
What is Spike and Zero Sprint in Agile?
Ans. 
Spike: It generally refers to a too large and complex user story in software development that cannot be estimated until the development team runs a timeboxed investigation. These stories can be used for various activities like research, design, exploration, prototyping, etc. Spikes are usually created to resolve some technical issues and design problems in the project. 

Zero Sprint: It generally refers to the first...read more

Q7. SQL Question
What are triggers?
Ans. 
Triggers in SQL is kind of stored procedures used to create a response to a specific action performed on the table such as INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE. You can invoke triggers explicitly on the table in the database.

Action and Event are two main components of SQL triggers. When certain actions are performed, the event occurs in response to that action.

Syntax :

This round had questions revolving around Automation Testing , Selenium and Cucumber.

Q1. Automation Testing Question
How do you automate the testing of CAPTCHA?
Ans. 
It’s not possible to automate the testing of CAPTCHA. That is the goal behind any good CAPTCHA strategy. By
definition, a computer can’t automate it. If it could, then it’s not a good challenge that you can use in your application.

However, if you need to test an application that uses CAPTCHA, you have to work with the development team to
build a workaround or a back door that allows the automated test to bypass the CAPTC...read more

Q4. Selenium Question
Explain what are the JUnits annotation linked with Selenium?
Ans. 
The JUnits annotation linked with Selenium are :

1) @Before public void method() – It will perform the method () before each test, this method can prepare the test
2) @Test public void method() – Annotations @Test identifies that this method is a test method environment
3) @After public void method() - To execute a method before this annotation is used, test method must start with test@Before
