26. What is Software requirement
specification(SRS)?
• A software requirements specification (SRS) –
a requirements specification for a software
system – is a complete description of the
behavior of a system to be developed and may
include a set of use cases that describe
interactions the users will have with the
software.

27. A general Organisation of SRS is as
Follows…
• Introduction
– Purpose
– Definitions
– System overview
– References
• Overall description
– Product perspective
– Product functions
– User characteristics
– Constraints, assumptions and dependencies

28. Continued…

30. What is requirement tracibility matrix?
• It checks whether the each functionality is
covered in the Test Cases as per requirement
document.
• The Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM)
is used to map requirements to test cases in
order to ensure all requirements are covered.

31. Continued..
• RTM prepared before the completion of testing
because RTM help you to keep track of the test
cases coverage at each level of testing. by which
we can understand how many fields we required
for the testing.
Read more at.
• Main Advantage is if we missed any test cases for
the requirements at that time we can find out
easy for what test cases missed for the what
functionality by preparing the tracebility matrix

techniques to create visual models of object-
oriented software-intensive systems.
• UML is an industry standard modeling
language with a rich graphical notation, and
comprehensive set of diagrams and elements

34. SQL Commands..
• SQL stands for Structured Query Language.
• SQL is an ANSI(American National standard
Institute)standard computer language for
accessing and manipulating database system.
• SQL statements are used to retrieve and
update data in database .

35. Basic commands for testers..
SELECT:The SELECT is used to query the
database and retrieve selected data that
match the specific criteria that you specify
CREATE: The CREATE Statement is used to
create a New table.
UPDATE:To Change the data in Preexhisting
table,the update command is used.

36. • DELETE:The delete command is used to
remove a record(S) from table.
• DROP:To remove the entire table from the
database the drop command is used.
• UNION:Union command is used to select the
data from two tables,but the columns having
the same data Type.With Union the distinct
values are selected,if there is common data in
two tables only one data is selected.

37. • DESC:To describe the details of the table,ie to
display the table with column name with type
Desc ‘table name’
• Ed : To edit the queries in Notepad.
• / : To run or execute the query command.
• ALTER taxistble:With alter table you can add
or delete the columns in existing table.when
you add a column you must specify data type

38. Ex 1: ALTER TABLE table name
ADD colname datatype
Ex2: ALTER TABLE table name
DROP column Colname

39. Well Point
• Wellpoint is mainly about claims project and
which deals with the entering the claims and
validating the claims data,make sure that
expected result and actual result match.
• When Subscriber provides the claim
information to the provider,the provider
enters the subscriber details in to the
application.

40. • As a tester I will enter the information of the
claims data and retrieve the information from
the product environment and validate the
provided and retrieved information.

41. Everest Reinsurance
• I have written the testcases for the web based
application for the various fields such as
Premium,deductable,typeof insurance(half
yearly,quarterly,monthly,annualy),DOB,First
name,last name,address,Zip code,phone
number.

42. Agile methodology
• Suppose if there is change in the already
exhisting requirement,the Project
manager,Business analyst,QA team and
technical team will conduct a meeting about
the new changes.
• As per the new requirement,we will be writing
the testcases for the new requirement and
validating the new result.

43. Deductable:
• The amount you have to pay out-of-pocket for expenses
before the insurance company will cover the remaining
costs
For example, if you get into an accident and your medical
expenses are $2,000 and your deductible is $300, then you
would have to pay the $300 out-of-pocket first before the
insurance company paid the remaining $1,700. However, if
your accident only resulted in $300 in medical expenses,
then you would pay the $300 deductible and the insurance
company would pay nothing.

44. Co-Insurance
• A co-sharing agreement between the insured
and the insurer under a health insurance
policy which provides that the insured will
cover a set percentage of the covered costs
after the deductible has been paid.

45. • For example, an 80/20 coinsurance plan with a
$300 deductible requires the insured to pay
20% of the covered costs after the deductible
as been paid, while the insurance company
will be liable for the remaining 80%. Today,
with the growing cost of prescription drugs
and medical expenses, more and more
employers have switched from co-pay plans to
coinsurance plans to reduce employee-benefit
costs

46. Co-pay
• A type of insurance policy where the insured
pays a specified amount of out-of-pocket
expenses for health-care services such as
doctor visits and prescriptions drugs at the
time the service is rendered, with the insurer
paying the remaining costs.

47. • These co-pay fees may vary among insurers
but will typically be $25 or less. For example, a
co-pay plan may require the insured to pay
$25 per doctor visit or $10 per prescription up
to a specified coverage limit. To see if your
insurance plan has a co-pay option

48. Testcases for Date Format
Test for the boundry values for date and
Month.
Test for Null Date/month/year
Check for 30 Feb .
Check for the functionaly of the date Format.
Enter the date Other than MM/DD/YYYY for
ex:yyyy/dd/mm,dd/mm/yyyy ,dd/mm/yyyy

49. We should check for the leap year,When it is
not a leap year it should accept the nuber
from 1-28 in the month of Feb and for leap
year it should accept 1-29 for the month Feb.
Digits from 1 to 9,for each date and month
contains one zero previous each digit

50. Date format should not contain the Month
name.Ex:August/04/2012

51. Test cases on SSN
• The Social Security Administration (SSA)
explicitly states in this document that the
having "000" in the first group of numbers
"will NEVER be a valid SSN“.
• It should accept only 9 digit number.

52. Quality Review Process(Lessons learnt
and best practices)
QR meeting is done once in a quarter.
Basicaly the entire team like,Project
manager,business analyst,team
development,Testing team participate in the
meeting.
All the lessons learnt and Best practices by the
individual team member are shared to the
entire team.

53.  The problems faced by the individual team
member and the solution’s are shared to the
entire team.So that,in case any other team
member faces the similar kind of a problem
do not waste the time for the solution and
increases efficiency.
The solutions are added as a Best practices for
the future project.

54. Weekly Status Meeting
 The Project manager will invite all the team
members for the project status meeting once in
a week.
 Each member give the information of there
status of his task.
 The PM will give priority to the task which are
critical to start the other task.He would give the
priority and additional resources to a accomplish
the critical task so that any other task are not
dependent on them.
