INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

SDLC Interview Questions and Answers


What Is SDLC?

SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle. SDLC is defined as different phases from which Software has to undergo before its final completion.



It consist of 6 Steps:

Planning
Defining
Designing
Building Testing and finally
Deployment


Determine Models used in SDLC ?

  • Waterfall model
  • Rapid Application Development(RAD) model
  • Agile model
  • Iterative model
  • Spiral model
Explain Phases of the waterfall model ?

Answer:


The five-main phase of waterfall model are:

  • Requirements gathering and Analysis
  • Design
  • Coding and Development
  • Testing
  • Implementation & Maintenance

What are the drawbacks of Waterfall model?

Answer:
1.  It will not be ideal for larger and complex projects when the requirements are not clearly documented and not clear.

2. It is not easier and also not possible to go back to any stage or phase during the Software Development Process. 

3. No software product or service will be delivered until the last stages or phases of the Software Development Life Cycle which will be a form of risk.

4. The process of testing can also be completed only after the completion of the Development phase and also cannot be carried out in parallel.

Who are the different team members involved in the different phases of the Waterfall model?


Answer:
The different team members or key members involved in Waterfall model development process are Technical Manager, Developers, Senior Developers, Business analyst, Technical Lead or System Architect or Solutions Architect or Technical Architect in the Design Phase and the Developers, Senior Developers in the Coding phase. Testers or Analysts in the Testing Phase. Project Manager, Program Manager, and Maintenance Team will be in the Maintenance phase of the Software Development Life Cycle process. The team members involved in the different project phases also depends on the structure of the organization and the roles and responsibilities being followed or maintained by the particular organization.

What is The LLD (Low-Level Design) and HLD (High-level Design)?

Answer:
The LLD (Low-Level Design) and HLD (High-level Design) are used to analyze and understand the project in a high level and low-level overview to different types of team members to the customers depending on the technical or business knowledge of the person. The Low-level Design is a detailed design implementation which will be helpful in the development process for the Developers whereas the High-Level Design will be given by Architects to proceed with the development process initially. This will be easier to know or look at a glance to understand about the project easily.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE MODELS (SDLC MODEL)

Image
A software life cycle model is a descriptive representation of the software development cycle. SDLC models might have a different approach but the basic phases and activity remain the same for all the models. 1) Waterfall Model 2) V-Shaped Model 3) Prototype Model 4) Spiral Model 5) Iterative Incremental Model  6) Big Bang Model 7) Agile Model Waterfall Model The  Waterfall Model  was the first Process Model to be introduced. It is very simple to understand and use it. In a  Waterfall  model, each phase must be completed before the next phase can begin and there is no overlapping in the phases.  The waterfall  model is the earliest  SDLC   approach that was used for software development. n “ The Waterfall ” approach, the whole process of  software development  is divided into separate phases. The outcome of one phase acts as the input for the next phase sequentially. This means that any phase in the development process begins only if the previous phase is complete. The waterfall model

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEFECT , BUG, ERROR AND FAILURE

Image
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEFECT , BUG, ERROR AND FAILURE  DEFECT: If  difference exist  between actual result and expected result  and that difference is found by developer and  corrected by himself in the development phase then it’s called a defect.   Example if developer  has developed  a code  and while performing (Unit Testing) developed  found that the code is not functioning  as per requirement  then in tat case the issue occurred  is known as DEFECT. BUG: If testers find any mismatch in the application/system in testing phase then they call it as Bug. Example if the developer has done the development  and performed Unit testing of a login form then the module is sent to Tester for performing testing. In this phase if tester found that the client requirement is not matching with the  result of application then tester report it as Bug.  NOTE:  there is a contradiction in the usage of Bug and Defect. People widely say the bug is an informal name for the defect. ERROR If we can’t compile

Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)?

Image
STLC(SOFTWARE TESTING LIFE CYCLE) It is a sequence of specific activities conducted during the testing process to ensure software quality goals are met. STLC involves both verification and validation activities. Contrary to popular belief, Software Testing is not just a single/isolate activity, i.e. testing. It consists of a series of activities carried out methodologically to help certify your software product. STLC stands for Software Testing Life Cycle. PHASES OF STLC : Requirement Analysis Test Planning Test case development Test Environment setup Test Execution Test Cycle closure What is Entry and Exit Criteria? Entry Criteria:  Entry Criteria gives the prerequisite items that must be completed before testing can begin. Exit Criteria:  Exit Criteria defines the items that must be completed before testing can be concluded. Requirement Analysis During this phase, test team studies the requirements from a testing point of view to identify the testable requirements. The QA team may in
