ASSIGNMENT 3

5 Marks Each Questions (Attempt Any Two)

[Link] are tasked with testing a login feature for a web application. Describe the test cases
you would create to ensure thorough testing of this functionality.

Ans1) Test Cases for Login Feature

To ensure thorough testing of the login feature for a web application, the following test cases should
be created:

1. Valid Login Test: Enter a correct username and password, verify successful login.
2. Invalid Credentials Test: Enter incorrect username/password, verify appropriate error
message.
3. Blank Fields Test: Attempt login with empty elds, verify system prompts for input.
4. SQL Injection Test: Input malicious SQL queries in login elds to test security.
5. Case Sensitivity Test: Verify username and password case sensitivity.
6. Account Lock Test: Attempt multiple failed logins and verify account lock functionality.
7. Session Management Test: Check if login session expires after inactivity.
8. Multi-Device Login Test: Verify login from multiple devices simultaneously.

[Link] the purpose of regression testing in software development. Provide


examples of situations where regression testing is crucial.

Ans2) Purpose of Regression Testing

Regression testing ensures that recent code changes do not negatively impact existing
functionalities.

Purpose:

• To maintain software stability after updates.


• To detect unintended side effects of code modi cations.
Examples where regression testing is crucial:

• After bug xes to ensure no new issues arise.


• When new features are added to validate that old functionalities remain intact.
• After performance optimizations to con rm no degradation in functionality.

Q4. You are testing a mobile app for a ride-sharing service. How would you
conduct usability testing to ensure a user-friendly experience? What speci c
metrics would you measure?

Ans4) Usability Testing for a Ride-Sharing App

Usability testing ensures the app provides a smooth and user-friendly experience.

Steps to Conduct Usability Testing:

1. De ne Objectives: Identify key features like ride booking, navigation, and payment.
2. Create Test Scenarios: Test different user journeys such as booking, canceling, and rating
rides.
3. Recruit Users: Select a sample of real users to test the app.
4. Conduct Testing: Observe user interactions and note dif culties.
5. Collect Feedback: Gather input from users and analyze responses.
6. Implement Improvements: Make necessary changes based on feedback.
Metrics to Measure:

• Task Completion Rate (Percentage of successfully completed tasks).


• Time Taken per Task (Ef ciency in performing actions).
• Error Rate (Number of mistakes users make).
Q5. De ne the term "test-driven development (TDD)" and explain its primary
bene ts for software development projects. Discuss potential challenges teams
might face when adopting TDD.

Ans5) Test-Driven Development (TDD) & Challenges

De nition:
TDD is a software development approach where tests are written before the actual code
implementation.

TDD Cycle (Red-Green-Refactor):

1. Write a test case (Red – the test fails).


2. Write code to pass the test (Green – make the test pass).
3. Refactor the code (Optimize the solution).
Bene ts of TDD:

• Improves code quality and reduces bugs.


• Enhances maintainability by enforcing modular design.
• Ensures better test coverage.
Challenges in TDD Implementation:

• Initial development is time-consuming


• Requires developers to have expertise in test writing.
• May lead to excessive unit testing, slowing development.

Q7. You are a Scrum Master, and your team consistently fails to meet its sprint
goals. Explain the steps you would take to address this issue and improve the
team's performance.

Ans7) Improving Team Performance as a Scrum Master

If a Scrum team consistently fails to meet sprint goals, the following steps can be taken:

1. Analyze Root Cause: Identify bottlenecks such as overcommitment, poor estimation, or


lack of collaboration.
2. Improve Sprint Planning: Ensure realistic task allocation based on team capacity.
3. Enhance Communication: Conduct effective daily stand-ups and retrospectives.
4. Use Agile Metrics: Track velocity, burndown charts, and sprint success rates.
5. Time Management Strategies: Encourage timeboxing and prioritization techniques.
6. Encourage Collaboration: Promote teamwork through pair programming and knowledge
sharing.
7. Address Skill Gaps: Provide necessary training and mentorship.
8. Motivate the Team: Recognize achievements and create a positive work culture.
By implementing these strategies, the team's productivity and sprint success rates will improve.

Q9. Imagine you are a software developer working on a project. Describe the
steps you would take to implement Test-Driven Development (TDD) for a new
feature in the project. Include details on writing tests, coding, and validating the
feature.

Ans9) Implementing TDD for a New Feature

To implement Test-Driven Development (TDD) for a new feature, follow these steps:

1. Understand Feature Requirements: De ne clear user stories.


2. Write Initial Test Cases: Create unit tests before writing code.
3. Run Tests (Expect Failure): Ensure tests fail initially (Red stage).
4. Develop Minimum Code: Implement code to make the test pass (Green stage).
5. Execute Tests Again: Verify that all test cases now pass.
6. Refactor Code: Optimize code without breaking tests.
7. Repeat Process: Extend testing as new scenarios arise.
By using TDD, code quality improves, and future changes become easier to handle.
