The QA team starts testing a software/product and there are “way too many” defects. Every other scenario is failing, new flows are explored & clarifications sought. What would be the strategy now?

Interviewer: What will you do if a Defect is not reproducible?
Many a times we face these kind of one-off bugs 🙁 which peep-out and then hide somewhere. “It was a one-off bug and now not reproducible – so what can I do?” Wrong! Though one-off but still it is present somewhere in the software and as a Tester it is our responsibility to investigate it. How?
AI + ML + Automation + Script-less Testing Technology! What about the Defects?
Adopting technology is important, but blind adoption is different than logical application of Technology. When I see it – looks like everyone wants to fit the tech-term anywhere in the test process and call it tech-driven QA. But how do you measure the ROI from client perspective? Do you compare Super-Tech.QA vs. Functional QA? Or Super-tech-tools are cheaper than the required man power? Nah! Everyone says “All these are long-term benefits, no short-term advantage”, but then eventually forget to measure the ROI in the long run as well 😛 On the other hand, due to all this fuss we have somewhere neglected the original Tester.
How come you find Defects, every time?
How come you are able to find defects in already-tested flows? As an end-user there are numerous possibilities of inputting invalid data and then expecting correct behavior.
JD Talks | Mining QA Job Descriptions for Tools & Technology
Any technology or tool is worthless unless it is being used by ‘some’ organization somewhere. It all starts from organizations adopting the new technology or a tool and then it gets popular slowly. In that sense QA Job Descriptions are a great source of current technology, i.e. practical tech. being used by IT organizations. Be it Selenium, Protractor, Appium, API tools, Big Data Testing, etc. Everything is embedded in the QA Job descriptions, you just need to mine some data 😉 But don’t worry. Continuing on our “JD Talks” series – we mine hundreds of QA Job descriptions to come up with latest tools, technology, languages and concepts. Let’s see what the second set of JDs talk about…
Defect Severity and Priority in Software Testing | Important yet Confused concept
The most important yet confused concept – Defect Severity and Priority. Additionally it is one of the most popular Software Testing interview question.
The 13 Best Bug Tracking Software | Defect Management Tools
Emails and Excel are not enough to manage defects in a large project. For single source of truth and maintain consistency, we need a Bug Tracking Software.
Everything has a Life cycle, even a Bug or a Defect!
Everything has a lifecycle – it’s the law of nature, a series of changes in form that an organism undergoes, returning to the starting state. Birth >> Infancy >> Childhood >> Teenage >> Adult >> Mature >> Old age >> Dead end. A ‘Defect’ in Software Testing also follows a pre-defined stage transitions from its identification till its closure. In Software Testing terms, we call it as ‘Defect Status transition’ or a ‘Defect Lifecycle’!
