Question 11. Is It Possible That The Child And The Parent Process Can Communicate With Each Other?

Answer :

Yes, it is possible. Any inter process approach for the communication can be deployed for this. Also, there are some special methods that can be used. Basically, with some commands, it is possible that the parent can govern the entire control on the child process. 

Question 12. What Exactly Do You Know About Kernel? What Is Its Significance?

Answer :

During a program, the kernel used always keeps some of the useful data along with it. This is because there are chances that the parent process may call it. A simple process is executed for this and the entire control on the information is grabbed by the parent. However, there is always a strict upper limit on the information that the kernel can keep with it. Users are free to assign priority to any information or they can change the default information. 

Question 13. What Exactly Do You Mean By White Box Testing?

Answer :

When the applications are developed, there is always a need to test the structure internally which provides the useful information regarding the working of an application.
