Senior Software Test Engineer Interview Questions

1,213 senior software test engineer 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).

Round 1:- Telephonic round with collabedit -All basic and tricky question related to dns, shell , pattern, linux, python , debugging and puzzle Round 2:- face2face Technical round with 1 person-Clear -same as round 1 but explained on board. Round 3:- Technical round with 2 person -Programming skill check , Program writting for sorting, occurance and tricky and mathematical puzzle. Round 4: :-Technical round 2nd Question:-"Write a program to grep the pattern from the file and return the line number which has maximum 1. 0110101010010 1101010010101 0110101111111 1111111111100 0100101010010 1000001010100 I wrote:- import io r=open("file.txt",'w+') r.write('0110101010010\n1101010010101\n0110101111111\n1111111111100\n0100101010010\n1000001010100') r.close() index=0 count=0 linenumber=0 val='' for i in open("file.txt",'r'): num1count=1 linenumber+=1 for j in range(len(i)): print i[j] if i[j] is '1': num1count+=1 if count<num1count: index=linenumber count=num1count val=i print 'highest 1 index is ',index, 'and value is ',val Question 3:- Can you optimize this.? I tried to solve using pattern.search. with one for loop. I was not able to recall the syntax of it hence just explain the logic. Question 4:Can you further optimize this? I tried using re.match but i was not able to find the line number for highest number of 1. Question 5:- Can you further optimize. " I replied, This is what i am able to think as of now."
