Questions

Test Plan for a Mobile Chatbot Application

S1P3 and P1S3 Defects with Examples

Selenium:

  • How to execute JavaScripts from Selenium
  • XPath: Complex and Tricky
  • TestNG Specific Questions: Listeners, Annotations, Exceptions

What should you not include in a test closure report?

Programs/Algorithms:

  • Take any integer number and convert it to a unique string. For example, 0 is replaced by 'A', 1 by 'B', and so on. Duplicate entries should be avoided; if there are two '1's in the input, 'B' will be used only once. Once the digits are traversed, take two digits at a time and follow the same rule. (String conversion and comparison cannot be used).
  • Maximum sum of any sub-arrays from an integer array.
  • Selenium Programs/Algorithms: Write a framework for one of their applications. The application is very tricky and includes everything like: Alerts, frames/iframes, tables, AJAX loading, and duplicate identifiers.

Architect Round:

  • Explain each of your algorithms and code. Run and test boundary values.

  • Explain a detailed test plan given a sample SOW. Keep your basics very clear; they will ask follow-up questions on whatever you include in the plan.

  • Why MS? What are you best at? Why should I hire you?

  • Your top 3 failures, successes, and lessons learned – explain every single statement.

  • What was your childhood dream? Has it been fulfilled? (i.e., have you grown into the person you wanted to be in childhood?) If not, why? That means you don't know how to achieve your dreams.
