--explanation--

The interrogative form of the Present Perfect Continuous is created by using Have/Has + subject + been + verb(-ing). It is used to ask about actions that started in the past and are still happening. For example:

Have they been testing the new software features? - Someone checks if the testing has been ongoing.
