What is mute mapping? Explain.
Answer
Mute mapping is a technique used in software testing to identify areas of code that are executed but not covered by existing test cases. It involves mapping the execution paths of the software to determine which parts remain silent or 'mute' during testing, helping developers identify missing test scenarios.
How to find the root-cause? When should we conduct root-cause analysis?
Answer
Root-cause analysis is performed by using techniques like the '5 Whys' or Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagrams to trace a defect back to its original source rather than just addressing symptoms. It should be conducted whenever a significant defect, failure, or recurring issue is identified in the software to prevent future occurrences.
