Testing Interview Questions

1. What is Silk Test?

Silk test is a software testing automation tool developed by Segue Software, Inc.

2. What is the Segue Testing Methodology?

Segue testing Methodology is a six-phase testing process:

1. Plan : Determine the testing strategy and define specific test requirements.
2. Capture : Classify the GUI objects in your application and build a framework for running your tests.
3. Create : Create automated, reusable tests. Use recording and/ or programming to build test scripts written in Segue’s 4Test language.
4. Run : Select specific tests and execute them against the AUT.
5. Report : Analyze test results and generate defect reports.
6. Track : Track defects in the AUT and perform regression testing.

3. What is AUT?

AUT stands for Application Under Test.

4. What is Silk Test Host?
Silk test Host is a silk test component that manages and execute test scripts. Silktest Host usually runs on a seperate machine different than the machine where AUT is running.

5. What is Silk test Agent?
Silk test Agent is a silk test component that receives testing commands from the Silk test Host and interacts with AUT directly. Silk test Agent usually runs on the same machine where AUT is running.

6. What is 4Test?
4Test is a test scripting language used by silk test to compose test scripts to perform automated tests. 4Test is an object-oriented fourth generation language. It consists of 3 sets of functionalities:

1. A robust library of object-oriented classes and methods that specify how a testcase can interact with an application’s GUI objects.
2. A set of statements, operators and datatypes that you use to introduce structure and logic to a recorded testcase.
3. A library of built-in functions for performing common support tasks.

7. What is the DOM browser extension?
Document Object Model (DOM) browser extesion is a silk Test addon component for testing Web applications. DOM browser extension communicates directly with the web browser to recognize and manipulate objects on a web page. It does this by working with the actual HTML code, rather than relying on the visual pattern recognition techniques currently employed by the Virtual Objects (VO) extension.

8. What is the VO browser extension?
Virtual Object (VO) browser extention is a silk test add-on component for testing Web applications. VO browser extersion uses sophisiticated pattern recognition techniques to identify browser-rendered objects. The VO extention sees Web pages as they appear visually; it does not read or recognize HTML tags in the Web application code. Instead, the VO extension sees the objects in a web page; for example, links, tables, images and compound controls the way that you do, regardless of the technology behind them.

9. What is Silk Test project?
A silk Test is a collection of files that contains required information about a test project.

1. Run Silk Test.
2. Select Basic Workflow bar.
3. Click Open Project on the Workflow bar.

5. Double click Create Project icon in the New Project dialog box.
6. On the Create Project dialog box, enter project name, and your project description.
