|
Tasks performed during the stabilizing phase are: Testing the solution and Conducting the pilot........
|
|
Various milestones of the MSF stabilizing phases are: Bug Convergence, Zero-bug bounce, Release candidates and Golden Release........
|
|
Types of testing defined in MSF - Coverage Testing and Usage testing. Coverage Testing: It’s a type of testing used to determine how much part of the source code has been tested. It’s a type of white box testing......
|
|
Check-in tests - These are the tests performed by the developers before they check-in the code in order to ensure that the code is in a stable state........
|
|
Function testing involves testing of various functions present in the source code. It is done by developers.......
|
|
Build verification tests - It is a collection of tests which are performed on every new build of the solution to verify sanity of the solution........
|
|
Regression tests are performed to ensure that any changes in the code have not broken previous functionality.........
|
|
Configuration tests are performed to ensure that the current configuration does not suffer from any potential problems.........
|
|
Stress tests can be done manually or automatically using tools such as load runner........
|
|
Performance testing is executed to measure some performance metrics/quality attributes of the system and not functionality or integrity........
|
|
Compatibility tests - It is a set of non functional tests that are executed to test the application’s compatibility on the environment it is being run on........
|
|
Alpha testing is performed by end users at development site whereas; Beta testing is when developers.........
|
|
Parallel testing is testing of a new data based system on the same data source that another system uses.........
|
|
Programming errors are termed as bugs. variables to a bug - Repeatability, Visibility and Severity.......
|
|
Zero bug bounce is a point where development catches up with testing and there are no active bugs at that point of time..........
|
|
A release candidate is a milestone which is achieved after a zero bug bounce. Some of their features are:.........
|
|
A pilot is a process of reviewing a solution to decide if it’s capable of going in production or not..........
|
|
Core components: Components that provide the main framework for the solution are termed as core components. E.g.: domain controllers, mail routers, remote access servers etc..........
|
|
Quiet period is the time between deployment stable and deployment complete milestones. The team is no longer active but will definitely respond to issue in 15-30 days (quiet period)..........
|
|
Project reviews at the end of the deployment phase are: Team review and Customer review.........
|
|
Unit test is the lowest level of testing and tests the smallest piece of a system. Its main objective is to verify that the code meets its design specifications and behave as expected.........
