IBM Testing Specialist interview questions

There was an online test with 3 test cases provided to be automated using a script that the candidate was experienced in. The sad part is that the systems were not updated. For the Selenium automation interview I attended, I had the fight to let the HR know that the system also needed TestNG to be installed. I also had to install the selenium-standalone server to execute my tests. One of the HR was pretty rude, when I mentioned the issues. The chrome browser that I initially used for testing was not getting connected to the internet. MS-word had expired on its license and hence would not let me copy at least a 25 characters search text from the requirements document. I had to switch from machine to machine and none of them had a proper local timing set. Incompetent and inefficient HR community. I am surprised at how could somebody rate my coding when there was nobody to cross-check the issues I had mentioned. Pathetic way to conduct interviews!

Technical round involved writing QTP scripts. Testing process related questions were asked like defect life cycle, test strategy to be followed etc. Test plan, test scenarios, test cases etc. Role specific questions.
