What do the terms bug leakage and bug release mean, and how do they impact the quality assurance process for software development projects?
During an interview for a quality assurance engineer role, most of the questions you will be asked will be technical or operational. Technical questions address the terms and other aspects of this job you should be familiar with. Operational questions are related to the processes and procedures used in this role. The best way to prepare for these questions is to review the job posting to thoroughly understand the requirements and job description. You should also review the terms, processes, and procedures commonly used in your job. Practicing questions like this will help you to be better prepared for the interview.
"Both of these terms involve problems with the software. A bug release is when the software is sent to the final testing team knowing that one or more defects are present in the release. The assumption is that the severity of the issues is low and can be removed before the software's final release. Bug leakage refers to when the final customer discovers an issue. It indicates the problem was not detected by the testing team while testing the software. Bug leakage is not anticipated and indicates a problem with the quality assurance process."
