Manual Testing Interview Questions and Answers

Q: What is Software Testing?

A: Software testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software application works as

expected. It helps identify bugs, errors, or missing requirements.

Q: What is Manual Testing?

A: Manual Testing is testing the software manually without using any automation tools. Testers

execute test cases, report bugs, and ensure the system meets the specified requirements.

Q: What is SDLC and STLC?

A: SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle): Steps followed to develop software (like:

Requirements -> Design -> Development -> Testing -> Deployment -> Maintenance).

STLC (Software Testing Life Cycle): Phases followed during testing (Requirement Analysis -> Test

Planning -> Test Design -> Test Execution -> Defect Reporting -> Test Closure).

Q: What is a Test Case?

A: A test case is a set of steps with input and expected output to verify a particular feature or

functionality.

Q: What is the difference between Severity and Priority?

A: Severity: Impact of the bug on the application (Ex: Login not working = High severity).

Priority: How quickly it needs to be fixed (Ex: UI misalignment = Low severity, High priority if it's on

homepage).

Q: Write test cases for a login page.

A: Example test cases:


- Valid username and password

- Invalid username

- Invalid password

- Empty fields

- SQL injection attempt

- Password mask check

Q: What will you do if a bug is not reproducible?

A: Try to gather more details from logs/screenshots.

Ask the tester or user for exact steps.

Check for environment or data issues.

Q: What is a Bug Life Cycle?

A: New -> Assigned -> Open -> Fixed -> Retest -> Verified -> Closed (or Reopen).

Q: You found a bug but the developer says it's not a bug. What will you do?

A: Explain your test steps and expected vs actual result.

Provide proof (screenshots, logs).

Discuss with BA/Lead if needed.

Q: How do you ensure complete coverage?

A: Prepare a Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM).

Map test cases to each requirement.

Q: What tools have you used in manual testing?

A: Bug Tracking: JIRA / Bugzilla

Test Case Management: Excel / TestLink
