This is a list of terms using in testing starting from A to Z hence named appropriately as A2Z testing.

It can be really handy if you are preparing for interview and work in testing.

Black Box Testing:  Also called as Behavioural Testing. It is a Function-based testing, which focuses on testing the functional requirements.  The test cases are designed with a view point that for a particular set of input conditions, you will get a particular set of output values. It is mostly being done at later stages of testing.

Black Box Testing Methods: Following are the various ways in which Black Box testing is carried out:

1. Graph- Based Testing: Identifying the objects and relationships between them. And then testing whether the relationship behave as expected or not. Graphs are used to prepare the test cases, in which: objects are represented as Nodes and relationships as Links.

2. Eqivalence Class Testing: A set of input domain is partitioned into different classes. And selecting the test data from each class. The equivalence class represents the valid and invalid states for input conditions.

3. Boundary Value Testing: It is carried out by selecting the test cases that exercises bounding values. For eg, if a test case accepts values with the range (a to d), then testing the behaviour at ‘a’ and ‘d’.

4. Comparison Testing: Also called back-to-back testing. In this method, different software teams build a product using the same specification but different technologies and methodologies. After that all the versions are tested and their ouput is compared. Its not a full proof testing method since even if they all give the same results, if one is incorrect all of them will be incorrect.

Verification refers to the set of activities performed in order to ensure that the software we are building, correctly performs a specific function. In other words, it answers the question “Are we building the product right?”

Validation refers to the set of activities performed to ensure that the product which we have built complies with the customer requirement. In other words, it answers the question “Are we building the right product?”

Values for the following parameters need to be passed to the source object property of a database object when used in QTP:

1. Connection string:  which defines the path to the source database.
2. Username:  username with which you want to connect to source database.
3. Password:  password for authentication.

The following are the important components of a recovery scenario in Quick Test Professional.

> Trigger:  is the event which interrupted your QTP run session and as a result of which recovery scenario manager is invoked. For eg.  an unexpected pop-up window
>  Recovery actions:  are the actions which QTP will be performing to handle the interruption. For eg.  closing the pop-up window
>  Post-recovery:  it allows you to specify how to continue the run session once QTP is done with the recovery actions. For eg. stop the run session or restart the run session
