1. My experience 2. How did you create test cases and test plans from scratch for the project? Answer: My project was an ongoing project where almost all the test plans and test cases were created. But when I entered in the project, I used to create test cases for the new functionalities for the project. So, for creating test cases I used to understand the requirements for that specific functionality. If requirements used to be not clear, ask the client about the appropriate functionality for that. 3. What were the questions you used to ask clients for the requirements not clear? - Gave an example of my project 4. Gave me a scenario: A software which has a username, a password, a login button and when you click on login it takes you to a blank page which only has a logout button. You click on logout button, it should take you back to login page Write test cases for it. 5. Suppose you have a version 1 in which you tested a scenario of username password providing correct error message. Same test case passed with version 2 of the product. But for version 3, the same test case did not pass. What will be your steps to investigate the issue? 6. Question on Jira bug report? How will you create a bug report for the issue you just found on version 3 7. A programming question on Java: You have an array list and you need to print (boolean) true or false if an integer appears twice. print true otherwise false
