What is the use of plan in Automation?

The purpose of the software test plan is to prescribe the scope, approach, resource, and schedule of the testing activities         The following are the important topics, which helps in preparation of Test plan.
             1.High-Level Expectations
             2.People, Places and Things
             3.Inter-Group Responsibilities
             4.Test phases
             5. Testing strategy
             6.Bug Reporting
             7.Metrics and Statistics
             8.Risk analysis.

Test Planning:

    Test plan: The Test Plan describes the tasks, schedules, approach, resources, and tools for integrating and testing the software application
    The Test Plan answers such questions as:
     What is being tested? 
     What are pass/fail criteria?
     When will each test occur?
     What hardware and software environment is required?
     What features must be tested?
     What features will not be tested?
     What are the responsibilities of individuals and organizations involved in the project?
     Identify the various modules and decide which modules/functionalities will be tested. Clearly mention which items are out-of-scope for testing
     List down the priority of testable items (conflict-resolution between the various players is of importance)

The test plan should include:
    Scope of the application being tested
    Approach to be taken (in detail)
    A tentative go live date
    A list of functions and procedures to be tested and their priority
    A list of who is responsible for testing each function and procedure
    Various milestones and timelines
    Details of the resources
    List of all deliverables
    Risk and mitigation
    Specifies roles/responsibilities of the various players: business analysts, technical analysts, development team, testing team, etc

Class mapping in Silk Test?

Problem: When user take the window declaration for application, most of the objects are identified as custom win?User cant able to use the existing methods and properties for this class?

solution: User can map the custom win class with standrad class. In silk test, navigate to the options and click class map.There user can map the custom class with standard class and add to the list.

Saved location: All custom objects are stored in the project.ini file.

Example:
In web based application, button will identified as a text. user can mape the text with button class then reuse the existing button properties and methods for custom class.

Use of Winclass in Silk Test?

Winclass is a keyword to create the class(any user defined class)
Any win to inheritance properties of existing class.


Anywin is actually a parent class of any GUI object in Silk Test, i.e. all GUI classes are derived from Anywin.

  Example :

[-] winclass RpmSearch : AnyWin
   
    [+] HtmlPopupList  SelectModel
        [+] multitag "Model"
            [ ] "^Model"
            [ ] "#1"
            [ ] "$modelList"
            [ ] "@(980,66)"

Now user can use RPMSearch under the any class.


[-] window BrowserChild BasicSelector

       RPMSearch SelectorSearch

User Can Call the Object through like this.
      BasicSelector.SelectorSearch.SelectModel.Select("Polaroid")

What is Regression testing?

 Regression tests confirm that implementation of changes have not adversely affected other functions.  Regression testing is a type of test as opposed to a phase in testing.  Regression tests apply at all phases whenever a change is made.

What is system Testing?

 The system test phase begins once modules are integrated enough to perform tests in a whole system environment.  System testing can occur in parallel with integration test, especially with the top-down method.


Types of System Testing:  Refer the below URL

What is Integartion testing?

Individual components are combined with the other components , validate the communications,data sharing and links occurs the properly.
Integration testing : Divide into the following  three approaches

• all-at-once
• bottom-up       
•  Top-down           

     Bottom up: Integration testing start from the low level components and end with the high level components.
     Top down: Testing will start from the lop Integrated level modules and connect to the branch level modules.
     all-at -once : it will Combine both top level and botton level members.

1. What is the differnce between create new project and create from existing project in silk test?

 When user creating the project , it will ask user to select either create project or create from existing project.

• create new project

• create from existing project

             User have option to add the current project files(inc,.t,pln) to the new project. we can reuse the existing frame work instead of creating.

Functionality of DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Used in server-based applications to allocate shared IP addresses to individual computers. When a client computer requires an IP address, a DHCP server assigns the client an IP address from a pool of shared addresses.

For example, a network may have 80 workstations, but only 54 IP addresses available. The DHCP allows the 80 workstations to share the 54 IP addresses in a way that is analogous to an office with 80 employees who share a phone system with only 54 trunk lines. In this scenario, it is expected that in normal operation no more than 54 employees will be on the phone at the same time. That is, the 55th employee and beyond will not be able to get onto the system.

Socket

SOCKET :For computers to communicate over the Internet, each computer, client or server, must utilize a standard set of protocols called TCP/IP. This suite of protocols is referred to as a TCP/IP stack or socket.    
There are numerous versions of TCP/IP stack available, for every target platform and operating system (UNIX, PC, Macintosh, handheld devices, etc.). The TCP/IP stack,is composed of five layers: application, transport, Internet,data link, and physical.

TCP UDP Basic

TCP is referred to as a connection-oriented protocol. Connection-oriented protocols require that a channel be established (a communications line established between the sending and receiving hosts, such as in a telephone connection) before messages are transmitted.

UDP is considered a connectionless protocol. This means that data can be sent without creating a connection to the receiving host. The sending computer simply places messages onto the network with the destination address and hopes that the messages arrive intact.

Difference: UDP does not check for dropped data. The benefit of being connectionless is that data can be transferred more quickly; the drawback is that data can more easily be lost during transmission.
