About my previous work, Basic questions on Testing, My approach on a situation, About my project, Why I wanted to quit, Test Case Design knowledge - They give a real world scenario and ask for test cases that you can think of

In total, there were 4 questions. The first question was to create a function with node tree traversals in a binary search (never once had to use this in 15 years of designing complex automation systems on both front-end and back-end). But whatever, I used recursive calls for this and all the unit tests passed, which guarantees that I got this question correct. Another question they chose was to create a function that reads specific text from a webpage through an API. This is relatively straightforward because I've done this many times. However, the hackerrank directions never once specified which http request/response library to utilize for this. I tried using the most basic/standard HttpURLConnection for this with the correct imports, but the Hackerrank console wouldn't even recognize it. I wrote it that way anyways, which I know for a fact works just fine in every Java 8+. They probably counted that as "wrong", even though it wasn't. The remaining 2 questions had absolutely nothing to do coding or testing. They asked about some foreign programming styles that I never heard of in my life. If you're a full-time developer with 10+ years of experience under your belt, I'm willing to bet that you wouldn't have known what they were asking about. After some googling, I found the answers, which I know for a fact were correct. So in the end, I got 3/4 questions correct (or 4/4 if you count the 2nd question that I know for a fact was correct, but the console couldn't import/interpret).

How to handle dynamic object recognition issue with QTP tool. Tool was not recognizing the application objects during second execution of VBScript. Asked to examine the issue first hand to troubleshoot issue. Just needed to capture the object at the proper time (not during recording), and problem was solved.
