Please post for Test Manager Interview Questions with Roles and Responsibilties

[@susheelnethan6671]

Thank you for the actual interview qns and ANSWERS. Kindly explain the difference between test strategy and test plan.

[@QA1]

Susheel, I just replied to the same question to another similar comment. But, here is my reply: Overall, we can say that test strategy is the guidelines for the test plan. Therefore, we need to arrive at it first before creating our test plan. Also, test strategy can be at a higher level of applicability e.g. program level, department, level, organization level, industry level and so on. But, test strategy can also apply just to a project. Test plan applies to a project or program. Test strategy is the high level approach to test. Test plan details out this approach along with other things like schedule, roles and responsibilities and risks etc. For more information, please see How to create a powerful test strategy kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGPNh6KNr6uWiKM

Very informative. Which comes first here. Test Plan or Test Strategy. What are the differences between Test Strategy and Test Plan

[@QA1]

Hi Prashant, how are you? Typically, you would start with the Test Strategy and keep revising it according to what you observe in the actual testing. There are many differences between Test Strategy and Test Plan. Test Strategy is broader in scope and can be used across multiple projects or even across the entire organization. You can view my Test Strategy tutorial at kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGPNh6KNr6uWiKM Also, the same Test Strategy can be used to create multiple Test Plans in a single project. The Test Plan tasks are more detailed than the Test Strategy tasks. I have mentioned other differences in Agile Test Strategy and Agile Test Plan tutorial at kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ6YnHqva7qFoK8 Best regards, Inder

test environment is available with minimum amount of resources ? what it means

[@QA1]

The Test Lead should aim to have all the needed test environments (like Staging for system testing) available with the minimum amount of resources (like cloud computing costs). In other words, he/she should try to maximize the resource utilization efficiency. I've given some Test Environment Management Interview Questions in my shorts tutorials at kzbin.infoS1DeHB1PNrA Software Testing Tutorials (88 short videos) playlist is at kzbin.info/aero/PLc3SzDYhhiGUPN9xL4JnWKikcR0JYe0eh

[@saktivelp4296]

Excellent video.I have 2 questions • 1. What and how testing can be done to ensure defect leakage (issues reported by customer) is be zero • 2. How to ensure testing fits in delivery timelines i.e. can't ask, "delay release as testing is still not done or developers are still changing code" can some one has an answer to this question please reply to the same thread

[@QA1]

Hi Saktivel, here are my opinions: 1 -In order to prevent defect leakage, software testing should be done regularly and as early as possible i.e. from the requirements analysis phase - see my tutorial on Requirements Analysis at kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKuahYRpmqaEn7c 2 - During time crunch, impact analysis of the requirement changes may help. We should focus on the high priority and/ or high severity changes first.

[@QA1]

In order to generate test scenarios for objects or even machines like toasters, we can start with thinking of basic ideas. Then, think of more test ideas on operation, inter-operability, safety, looks, exceptional usage etc. If you want to learn more about this technique, please see my blog post, How to create new test ideas quickly at inderpsingh.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-create-new-test-ideas-quickly.html

[@norad1090]

Hi, Could you give us examples of Software Test Lead KPI, and how do we create mesureble KPIs . Thanks in advance.

[@QA1]

Nora D My thoughts are like this. Businesses and human beings are both complex entities. Instead of a performance measurement, perhaps a performance assessment is more fruitful in the long-term. Still, if you have to have a performance measurement, consider basing it on the business goals assigned to the particular project in which the individual plays the role. This is highly specific to the business, the project, the role and the individual so I would not be able to supply specific examples of performance indicators. Thank you for your question.

[@rambalram2610]

Suppose you are the test lead for next generation rocket at ISRO? How long do you think project requirement analysis would take? Or would it be a job of the test lead to do requirement analysis??? Same way consider you are the test lead for Intel's next generation chip, or Cisco's next generation switch, or Next Enterprise Storage Array from DellEMC. What you are saying suits only on Computer Application World such as JAVA/Oracle/SAP based applications.

That is correct. This video (and others in this playlist) are related to software testing.

[@Cosmic.Perspective]

9 years ago? Is this as relevant today as it was? Or are there any additional stuff one needs to learn?

[@QA1]

There's still a role called Test Lead, interviews are still conducted for hiring, viewers still comment that this video helped them prepare for their successful interview, so I would say Yes. But, the software development lifecycle is now called "Agile". The additional stuff is available in my Agile Methodology playlist videos at kzbin.info/aero/PLc3SzDYhhiGUQKahQnRT6_16BijvyJJYN

[@Cosmic.Perspective]

@@QA1 Awesome! Thank you fine sir

[@pridshar]

I dont believe Test Environment Management sis the job function of the Test lead. Environment Definition is the job of Architect, Environment Configuration is the job of Configuration Manager (which could be coupled with the Server Admin tasks) and deploying Application to be tested is the job of Release Manager or in collaboration with the Dev team.

[@QA1]

Yes, what you say is definitely possible. Especially in big organizations with finely divided roles. In small organizations, the same person generally plays a number of roles.

[@balakoteswararao5891]

Can you please provide Security Testing for an Application When to start the security and where to do ?

[@QA1]

Security is an important system quality attribute. We should start thinking about system security from the requirements gathering and analysis phase. Security Testing (non-functional testing) should be done on the system design and (each) system deployment.
