RE: What is the importance of a requirements traceability...

Traceability means showing some indication or any kind of match between a test case created and a
requirement based on which that particular test case is created.

Traceability Matrix is used to know whether all requirements specified r covered by the test cases u created
or not. It’s a kind of Measure(matrix).

What is the importance of a requirements traceability...

this matrix defines mapping between customer requirements and prepared test cases

Describe to me the difference between validation and verification.

Verification: is done to ensure that it meets the specifications.

Validation: is done to ensure that it meets the customer requirements

What is Coverage status, what does it do?

Hi,

Coverage status is percentage of testing covered at a given time. If you have 100 test cases in a project
and you have finished 40 test cases out of total test cases than your coverage status of the project is
40%.Coverage status is used to keep track of project accomplishment to meet the final deadline of the
deliverables

1. How many types WinRunner can learn the objects?

diff b/n data validation and data integrity....In data validation we check whether the input data/output data is
valid in terms of its length, data type etc

In data integrity we check out database contains only accurate data. We implement data integrity with the
help of integrity constraints. So in data integrity we check whether the integrity constraints are implemented
correctly or not.

Use Of Filters in Testdirector:

Limits the data displayed according to the criteria you specify. For example, you could create a filter that
displays only those tests associated with the specified tester and subject.
Each filter contains multiple filter conditions. These are expressions that are applied to a test plan tree or to
the fields in a grid. When the filter is applied, only those records that meet the filter conditions are displayed.
You create and edit filters with the Filter dialog box. This opens when you select the Filter command. Once
you have created a filter, you can save it for future use.

How do we generate testcase thru TEST DIRECTOR?

In Testdirector there r 4 tabs:

1.Requirements
2.Test Plan
3.Test Lab
4.Defects
Go to the Test Plan tab and create a folder for the current project and create sub folders according to the
requirements or modules and then under each sub folder u can create Manual Test cases and automated
scripts.

What is the difference between Master test plan an...?

What is the main purpose of storing requirements in test director?

In TestDirector (Requirement Tab) We Stores Our Project Requirement documents according to our modules
or functionality of the applications. This helps us to makes sure that all requirements are covered when we
trace developed Test Case/Test Script to the requirements.

This helps QA Manager to review what extent the requirements are covered.

document view & coverage view

u can display document view, coverage view and coverage analysis view of a requirement tree..

document view

By default the requirement module displays the requirements tree in document view.it contains the following
fields : name, cover status, requirement ID, author, reviewed, creation time

coverage view

You can also display the requirements tree in coverage view. This view enables you to add and modify tests
coverage for your requirements more easily. Test coverage tab contains the following fields: name, status
execution time ....the tests are actually linked to the desired requirements.

How many types of reports can be generated using T...

Reports on TestDirector display information about test requirements, the test plan, test runs, and defect
tracking. Reports can be generated from each TestDirector module using the default settings, or you can

layout of the fields in the report. You can further customize the report by adding sub-reports. You can save
the settings of your reports as favorite views and reload them as needed.

Reports available in Requirements Module:

Standard Requirements:

Tabular

Requirements with Coverage tests

Requirements with coverage tests and steps

Difference between WinRunner and Test Director?

Win Runner: It’s an Automation Testing tool, used for automation of manual written Test Cases to Test
Scripts and Regression Test also.

Test Director: Its an Testing Management tool, used from Creating Test Plan, Preparation of test Cases,
execution of test cases and generating defect report. Also used for maintaining Test Scripts.

WinRunner is a tool for automatic testing. The WinRunner is mostly used for Regression testing
and GUI testing purpose. Testing will be done very fast, reliable and efficient. Where as,

TestDirector is a test management web based tool where the centralized database is used for managing the
requirements documents, specification documents, Test cases, test plans and Defect tracking and
managing. The WinRunner and TestDirector are products from Mercury.

How you integrated your automated scripts from TestDirector?

In WinRunner,
Go to Tools menu and click on TestDirector connection.

Then enter following details on Connection Properties window

1)Server
2)Project
3)Username ( if any or else use Admin)
3)Password ( If any )

When you work with WinRunner, you can choose to save your tests directly to your
TestDirector database or while creating a test case in the TestDirector we can specify whether the script in
automated or manual. And if it is automated script then TestDirector will build a skeleton for the script that
can be later modified into one which could be used to test the AUT.

the test cases and test scripts. We can share the work with other QA testers using Test Director since it is a
web based test management tool.

Using TestDirector, we can define application requirements and testing objectives, design test
plans and develop test cases, create automated scripts and store them in the repository, run manual and
automated tests, report execution results, enter defects, review and fix defects by logging into the database.
