what it test incident report?

Test Incident Report: detailing for any test that failed the actual versus expected result and other information intended to throw light on why a test has failed. This document is deliberately named as an incident report and not a fault report. The reason is that a discrepancy between expected and actual results can occur for a number of reasons other than a fault in the system. These include the expected results being wrong the test being run wrongly or inconsistency in the requirements meaning that more than one interpretation could be made. The report consists of all details of the incident such as actual and expected results when it failed and any supporting evidence that will help in its resolution. The report will also include if possible an assessment of the impact upon testing of an incident.

What is Functional point analysis(FPA)?

FPA is a method to determine the functional size of an information system or project. The functional size may be used for different purposes, for example budgeting. The measurement is independent of the technology. This measurement may be used as a basis for the measurement of productivity, the estimation of the needed resources, and project control.
 
FPA carries out the following steps to determine the size of an information system or system development project:
• Step 1: Identify the functions of the system that are relevant to the user
• Step 2: Determine the functional complexity of each function
• Step 3: Calculate the unadjusted function point count of the system
• Step 4: Rate the general requirements for the system using the 14 general system characteristics
• Step 5: Calculate the adjusted function point count of the system

Some Questions to prepare for amdocs interview.

HI,
I was encountered with some good Questions in the amdocs online interview which is conducted by the MERITRAC.
This is a online test which compromises of 6 papers of mostly 15,20 questions.
Each section contain specific time like for 15 questions-20 minutes.
Papers
Mathematical and logical reasoning paper will have this .
- Data sufficiency
- Puzzles
- Blood relations
- Venn Diagrams
- Profit & Loss
- RC
- Percentage
- Ratio
- Cubes and Dice

1.Mathematical Ability-> This paper will try to check your mathematical ability.
Some of the question which i remember are:
a.In a class 60 students gave A paper, 80 gave B paper,120 gave A+ B paper,45 gave B+C paper, 15 gave A+C paper, and 30 gave A+B+C paper.
On the basis of this you have to give 5 answers(VENN Diagram)
2. A cube is cut into 64 pieces. and 2-3 faces are paint black.
Questions were related to this.

Logical
1. 0 is represented by * and 1 is represented by $. and if one number is added one more $ is added to number
eg ( 4 is shown as $$ and 3 is $**)
You have to identify which digit will resemble what then you would be able to answer all questions.
2.Check the numbers who are alike or not
like 5670.239875 and 5670.236875 and 5670.239875
3. There were also this type of questions like + is *, - id / and * is + and / is -
so find the calculations.

There were questions of data sufficiency.
Like a condition was given for a suitable candidate to be interviewed.
you will be given few candidates.You have to tell which one will be selected and id data is inadequate.

Third one is a comprehension type which usually we do in our english papers.
Like ( What are components of computer and how to connect them)
Direction: Please read carefully and answer all questions.

Fourth is Testing/C/JAVA
some of the questions are :
1.Read Testing workbench.
2. You will be given Four figures of Spiral model .Find correct one?
3. Read the questions of the testing lifecycle.
4. Peer and inspection, walkthrough.

Fifth is SQL
Read Procedures and ACID property,
Find the Him from "Himanshu" using substr.
query to connect remote host.


Sixth is UNIX
learn basic commands like ls,grep,Pipe command,chown,chgrp,gunzip,vi editor, sort command.
key to go the end of line in vi editor.
