297 senior software engineer test interview questions shared by candidates

NDA Helpful Notes: Go though data structures, algorithms and collections. The technical interviews will mainly focus on testing strategies and coding skills. You might be asked to write up test cases for multiple services. Be sure to cover all negative cases, edge cases, happy path scenarios and dependencies. It will help if you practice enumerating test cases for websites, algorithms and functions. For coding questions, I think they are looking to see if you come up with the strategy. They might ask you to implement the solution in a different way. If you can give them a fair idea about your analysis on how to address the solution, I think that should be sufficient. Be prepared for database queries. Joins and normalization in specific. Apart from that, you can expect process related questions related to bug tracking, metrics, CI/CD, release management etc. Automation and REST services questions were also part of the mix (If you work with technologies like Selenium, they will ask you specific questions related to it).

Recruiter called and after getiing to know my skills, roles and responsibilties he arranged for a telephonic round. Telephonic interview lasted for about 30 minutes. On the same day HRcalled and said that telephonic round feedback is positive and he took a date from me to schedule F2F. He told me that there will be about 4 rounds of F2F .On the scheduled F2F date, I reached their bangalore office . After around 20minutes of waiting one person who was QA Lead there came to meet. Interview questions started from Selenium based like how to identify non unique objects in a table, then asked how will u validate two different unlinked pages, Then he moved on to Java, here he asked how to check if a string is palindrome,then he asked to merge 2 arrays and sort that , Almost all OOPS concepts he asked . I answered almost all the questions of Java and selenium. Then he said he is done with the interview and told me to wait, It lasted for about 1 hour.I was pretty happy about the interview. After about 25 mins of waiting , HR came and said that feedback is negative because of SQL(I told that I know only basics of SQL in the interview). No where in the Job description was mentioned SQL as mandatory skill and he was saying that because SQl is needed i thought Ae you kidding me one can learn SQL in 1week I just left the venue and did not even responded to the 'Thanks for coming' of HR. I was really shocked to know candidates are rejected for not knowing the thing is not even mentioned in the JD. I took half day leave for the interview which i felt as mistake :) My suggestion would not go to this company which seems to take interview just for fun (will give ypu some bizzare reasons for rejection).
