This video serves as the introduction to a comprehensive series focused on Manual Testing Interview Questions and Answers. The speaker, representing Software Testing Mentor and RCV Academy, outlines the intention to provide a resource for both freshers and experienced professionals in the Software Testing field. The series will cover a wide range of topics, starting with basic concepts and progressing to advanced questions suitable for test leads and managers.

Main Ideas and Concepts:

• Purpose of the Series:
  • To provide a structured approach to manual testing interview questions.
  • To cater to both freshers and experienced testers.
  • To encourage viewer interaction for additional questions and topics.
• Content Overview for Part 1:
  • Basic questions related to Software Testing, including:
    • Definition and importance of Software Testing.
    • Objectives of Software Testing.
    • Context dependency of testing.
    • Causes of software defects.
    • Different levels of Software Testing (unit, integration, system, acceptance).
• Key Definitions:
  • Software Testing: The process of evaluating and verifying that software meets requirements and is fit for use.
  • Importance: Saves money by identifying defects early, improves quality, enhances development processes, and ensures security and performance.
• Objectives of Software Testing:
  • Prevent defects.
  • Ensure software is fit for the customer.
  • Build confidence in the application.
  • Reduce risks associated with software failures.
• Context Dependency:

  Testing approaches vary based on the application context (e.g., critical systems vs. non-critical systems).

• Causes of Software Defects:
  • Unclear requirements.
  • Miscommunication within teams.
  • Human errors.
  • Lack of skill in the development team.
  • External factors affecting integration.
• Levels of Software Testing:
  • Unit Testing: Testing the smallest testable parts independently.
  • Integration Testing: Testing the interfaces between integrated units.
  • System Testing: Testing the entire system against defined requirements.
  • Acceptance Testing: Conducted by customers to ensure the software meets their needs and compliance requirements.
• Examples of Testing:

  Practical examples are provided to illustrate Unit Testing (e.g., testing a method in a calculator) and Integration Testing (e.g., testing a registration module with a login module).

Methodology:

The speaker will present a series of videos, each addressing specific interview questions. Viewers are encouraged to engage by commenting with their questions or topics they wish to see covered in future videos.
