Stress Testing is a form of performance testing where the application is
bound to go through exertion or stress i.e. execution of application
above the threshold of the break to determine the point where the
application crashes. This condition usually arises when there are too
many users and too much of data.
Explain the term
Stress testing also verifies the application recovery when the workload

is reduced.
Load testing.
Load Testing is a form of performance testing where the application is
executed above various load levels to monitor the peak performance of
the server, response time, server throughput, etc. Through load testing
process stability, performance and integrity of the application are
determined under concurrent system load.
Defect Severity is defined by the level or the degree of impact by the
defect on the application under test. Higher the severity of the defect,
the more is the impact on the application.
Following are the 4 classes in which a defect severity is categorized:
Critical
Major
Medium

Answer: Boundary value analysis method checks the boundary values
of Equivalence class partitions. Boundary value analysis is basically a
testing technique which identifies the errors at the boundaries rather
than within the range values.
Explain Boundary For Example, An input field can allow a minimum of 8 characters and a
Value Analysis. maximum of 12 characters then 8-12 is considered as the valid range
and <7 and >13 are considered as the invalid range. Accordingly, the
test cases are written for valid partition value, exact boundary value,
and invalid partition value.

poker’ technique? To start it, the agile user story is read either by the customer or the
 owner and the estimator understands its features.
Each estimator has planning cards with different no. on it like
0,1,2,3,5,8 and so on. These values on the card are ideal days or story

Estimator select cards based on their estimation by discussing features

If a common value is selected, it is an estimate, if not they discuss their
max. and min. estimation.
This process is repeated until a general agreement is reached.

The Join clause is used to combine rows from two or more tables based

that can be used to retrieve data, and it depends upon the relationship
between tables.
There are four types of Joins:

values in both tables.
