Explain static and dynamic testing tools.

-

 Solution:-

Benefits of using testing tools:

  1.  Save Time
  2.  Speed
  3.  Repeatability
  4.  Maintenance of the test suite
  5.  Reusable
  6.  Increase Coverage
  7.  Cost Reduction

Test tools types are:

1. Static Testing tools:

Generally used by developers as part of development and component testing process, here code is not executed or run bur the tool itself is executed and source code we are interestedin is the input data to the tool.

These are extension of compiler technology, other than software code , static analysis can also be carried out on things like, static analysis of requirements or static analysis of websites the developer to understand the structure of the code and helpful to enforce coding standards .Static analysis tools for code can help

Features / Characteristics of static analysis tools are:

  1.  To calculate metrics, Cyclomatic complexity or nesting levels.
  2.  To enforce coding standards
  3.  To analyze structures and dependencies
  4.  Help in code understanding
  5. To identify anomalies or defects in the code.

2. Dynamic Testing tools:

They require the code to be in running state They analyze rather than testing.

Features / Characteristics of dynamic analysis tools are:

  1.  To detect memory leaks
  2.  To identify pointer arithmetic errors such as null pointers
  3.  To identify time dependencies.

Examples of Dynamic testing tools available:

a) Test Driver   b) Test Beds

c) Emulators   d) Mutation analyzers

State the functions of Hub, Repeater, Bridge and Router.

-
  1)Hub : Hub connects all nodes in star topology. Hub is broadcasting device. It sends packets to all nodes in the network. It works at Physical Layer of OSI model. 2) Repeater : Repeaters are used to take the distorted, weak and corrupt input signal and regenerate this signal at its output. It ensures that the signals are not distorted or weak before it reaches the destination. It increases the signal strength. 3)Bridge : A bridge device filters data traffic at a network boundary. Bridges reduces the amount of traffic on a LAN by dividing it into two segments. It inspects incoming traffic and decides whether to forward or discard it. It sends packets between two networks of same type. 4)Router : Router chooses the best path for packet forwarding. Router read complex network address in packet. It works at Network Layer of OSI model Efficiently direct packets from one network to another, reducing excessive traffic. Join neighbouring or distant network Connect dissimilar networks. P...

Describe the OSI model with neat diagram.

  Solution:- OSI model (open system interconnection) model was developed by ISO (international standard organization) Function of OSI model: i. It provides way to understand how internetwork operates.  ii. It gives guideline for creating network standard. OSI model has 7 layers as shown in the figure.  OSI model has following 7 layers as Physical layer, data link layer, Network layer, Transport layer, session layer, presentation layer, application layer.  1. Physical layer: 1. It co-ordinates the functions required to transmit bit stream over physical medium. 2. It deals with mechanical and electrical specifications of interface and transmission medium. Functions of physical layer are: Physical characteristics of interfaces and media.  Representation of bits: Data rate (transmission rate).  Synchronization of bits.  Line configuration: Point to point or multipoint configuration should be used.  2. Data link layer: 1. It is responsible for transmit...

Explain Database languages.

-
Data Definition Language The language is used to create database, tables, alter them, etc. With this, you can also rename the database, or drop them. It specifies the database schema. The DDL statements include − CREATE :  Create new database, table, etc. ALTER : Alter existing database, table, etc. DROP : Drop the database RENAME : Set a new name for the table. Data Manipulation Language The language used to manipulate the database like inserting data, updating table, retrieving record  from a table, etc. is known as Data Manipulation Language − SELECT : Retrieve data from the database INSERT : Insert data UPDATE :  Update data DELETE : Delete all records Data Control Language Grant privilege to a user using the GRANT statement. In the same way, revoke the privilege using the REVOKE statement. Both of these statements come under the Data Control Language (DCL). − GRANT : Give privilege to access the database. REVOKE:  Take back the privilege to access the database. ...
