1) What is the difference between the QA and software testing?
The role of QA (Quality Assurance) is to monitor the quality of the process to produce a quality of a product. While the software testing, is the process of ensuring the final product and check the functionality of final product and to see whether the final product meets the user’s requirement.
2) What is Testware?
Testware is the subset of software, which helps in performing the testing of application. It is a term given to the combination of software application and utilities which is required for testing a software package.
3) What is the difference between build and release?
Build: It is a number given to Installable software that is given to testing team by the development team.
Release: It is a number given to Installable software that is handed over to customer by the tester or developer.
4) What are the automation challenges that QA team faces while testing?
5) What is bug leakage and bug release?
Bug release is when software or an application is handed over to the testing team knowing that the defect is present in a release. During this the priority and severity of bug is low, as bug can be removed before the final handover.
Bug leakage is something, when the bug is discovered by the end users or customer, and missed by the testing team to detect, while testing the software.
QA Interview Questions

7) How would you know for database testing, whether trigger is fired or not?
On querying the common audit log you would know, whether, a trigger is fired or not. It is in audit log where you can see the triggers fired.
8) In data base testing, what are the steps to test data loading?
Following steps need to follow to test data loading
9) Without using Database Checkpoints, how you test a SQL Query in QTP?
By writing scripting procedure in VBScript, we can connect to database and can test the queries and database.
10) Explain how to use SQL queries in QTP ?
In QTP using output database check point and database check, you have to select the SQL manual queries option. After selecting the manual queries option, enter the “select” queries to fetch the data in the database and then compare the expected and actual.
11) What is the way of writing testcases for database testing?
Writing a testcases is like functional testing. First you have to know the functional requirement of the application. Then you have to decide the parameters for writing testcases like

Hi All,
According to me
Functional Testing:Functional testing is what a system is supposed to do?
e.g. interoperability
Non-Functional Testing means How a system is supposed to do?
e.g. Eficiency,accuracy.
I will give an example regarding both functional and non-functional testing.Suppose you send an email to an user .Here the functional testing is to check the email is going to the proper email tht you have specified or not.But the non-functional testing is to how the system send the email to the specified address,what are the protocols used to send an email..
I think you will get a fair idea about functional and non-functional testing.
