Interview test

So i am finally getting a job at this company, the position is software tester and i am gonna have a technical interview.

Never done one, what kind of questions i will find there?

Self bumping with one answer some friends told me:

Make a program that prints all the odd number from 1 to 100

Swap two numbers without using a temporary variable.

What is with interviewers and
(1) asking stupid easy questions
(2) coming up with unrealistic scenarios

Not an unrealistic scenario, tests your adaptability. Here's another then - draw a UML diagram for a simple point-of-sale system.

Stupid question, what does a software tester do that you need programming skills for that?

>im getting a job
>also I have an interview

?

I am getting the job regardless but depending on how good i am at the interview is the project i will get assigned to, also bad grammar.

How do you solve this?

user, don't fuck this up.

This is the difference between you actually getting the job and you being plonked in a shitty assist role and getting shitcanned once the project is over.

porn, just some e-celeb or kpop?

xor

a,b = b,a

to fix the code after he test it

nah, just open a issue on the repo lmao

a = a + b
b = a - b
a = a - b

just do it in assembly

That was a stupid question

sauce?

woah

Interviews are

Even if they are Jow Forums related?

cute but susceptible to overflow

how so?

int a = MAX_INT;
int b = MAX_INT;


what do you think (a+b) will return?

I see. so what is the correct way of doing it?

Yeah. It's just an answer to a stupid math puzzle I read back in elementary. Please nobody actually use this.

using XOR
this is a retarded interview question though and your answer would have been more than appropriate in an interview situation

in practice anyone with half a brain would just use a temporary variable and be one with the matter

>one

Well I suppose if you are automating tests using tools such as Selenium and developing your own testing framework you will need to know a programming language (Java, C#, javascript, etc...).
Despite not being programming languages per se, there is a good chance you will bump into regex and tools for managing big data such as Splunk.
You might also have to be familiar with unix cli if accessing logs from a server or writing some basic scripts to monitor application health.

From a technical aspect as a graduate most of the work seems to consist of performing menial tasks such as running through a test plan step by step and collecting any evidence along the way.
If you bump into an unexpected result/test failure you will have to find the root cause in the logs (you won't be fixing the problem merely detecting it) then report your findings.
Manual testing is boring as fuck, but it is important to understand the underlying systems prior to automating tests.

Eventually you might get assigned to work on developing something such as a test framework or dashboard to facilitate the process of accessing logs which involves a little head scratching.

From a non technical aspect, you will be running around like a headless chicken deciphering acronyms, searching for SMEs and PoCs to get a better understanding of the applications you are testing and resolve obstacles preventing you from progressing, followed by questioning your career choice and the meaning of life.

You might not get to do a great deal of programming, but on the bright side you won't be as stressed as a developer.
