Process

A recruiter emailed me and set up a time to call for a basic resume and interests review. They then scheduled a technical phone screen with a Test Engineer manager.

The test engineer probed my knowledge of agile development. They asked how I would test gMail, including questions about security and performance testing.

Next, they asked me to 'write a method that returns a count of each word in the file' in a shared Google Doc. I used a dictionary with the words as keys and their respective counts as values.

Finally, the interviewer asked what a unit test was and what the next level up is when it comes to testing.
