How to prepare for software testing interview


Posted In | Testing Interview questions, Testing Skill Improvement | Last Updated: "November 3, 2015"
This is the a guest post from author Suhas R M. Author is working as a software test engineer and
having 4 years of manual testing experience.
A colleague of mine recently asked me, Where should I start with for preparation of interview? Its
almost 2 years I have faced any interview.
My answer was straightforward: (This will help for fresher as well as working professional who want to
switch the current job)
What you need to know about software testing?
First basic thing Testing Concepts: One needs to be very good at this especially the manual testing
methodologies. But only knowing different testing concepts is half work done. The next most important
thing is to know which type/technique/concept of testing can be applied at what stage of SDLC.
What should I test and when is very important. There might be some concepts, which are not applicable
to what we, professional test in our company, but its always better to have an idea of all testing practices.
Many freshers and working testing professionals have might not worked on various testing domains like
localization testing, time Zone testing etc. But knowing more than what you have worked on will help
you better answering the different questions from the interviewer. I always try to keep my testing
knowledge updated besides my current project work. This helped me a lot while switching my job some
years ago. What if an interviewer asks you question on topic, which you have never worked on? For
example you dont have any experience on web based projects or client server testing and interviewer
asks you to test Yahoo mail application. Will you be able to answer this question? You can. Even you
have not worked on this type of projects. How? Your curiosity to learn the things you never done before
will help you in this case. So broaden your thinking area, be curious in every work and every query you
face in your daily work routine.
Knowing more is harmless and will definitely help you at least to give your thoughts on the questions
asked by interviewer.
If you dont know any testing concept, e.g. Localization testing, then try to learn the concepts first. Like
what would be localization testing? Its simple; Test if the application looks local for you while using.
Then go on exploring. See for used colors, content, images, culture etc, Different countries, locales have it
in different way. Consider a web site that reads from right to left, is it accepted in countries other than
Middle East? Obviously NO. Or can you display the same geo specific content in India what you can
display in US? Again NO. This is just a simple example how you can learn unknown testing concepts.
The very essential part of a test engineer is Thinking out of box. If you are not capable of thinking out
of box, believe me testing is not for you. What do you mean by thinking out of box? Dont just follow the
traditional methods. Implement new things in testing. Try to summarize, automate the routine testing

work. Think from user perspective. Think how user will use your application. What common mistakes he
can make or which tasks he can perform on your application? This way you will get insight of any
application and will also help to answer the questions in depth.
Besides from curiosity to learn you should upgrade your skill in following areas:
Some hands-on on basic database/SQL queries and concepts
Any basic scripting language (For automation testing)
Networking and system administration concepts will help you in system domain projects.
-----------Do not just write the UI test cases, check what is happening inside the application. For application having
database connection check for data updation, retrieving and in any case there should not be loss of data.
Get hold on project. Know the application under test before starting to test it. Instead of looking in the
requirement document, look into the architecture doc, design doc, sequence diagram and activity flow
diagram.
Most importantly you need to be perfect in what you mention in your CV. All the questions interviewer
asks will be based on what you are specifying in your CV. So do not mention the skills you have not
worked on, just for the sake of decorating the CV with multiple skills.
The key point in interview is, You should make interviewer feel that it was a complex application you
were testing and had lot many challenges in it for a tester!
And one last thing If you dont know answer for a question, say so. Dont fool around and get into
trouble.
If you have any query on preparation for testing interview then comment it below.

Do frehsers need to worry about domain knowledge for projects?
How can we prepare for domain specific opening interviews ?
#2 A.N.Vamsi Mohan
Freshers are not expeted with any specific domain knowledge. What all you need is basic concepts
of testing. The advantage with freshers is that they will have a steep learnning curve. So, if you have
the basics you can be moulded into any domain. Do not worry about the domain.
But understand that the embedded domain testing definitely differs from a web domain testing.
#3 Robin
Hi Mr. Suhas.. Thanks for the new post.. I have been in software testing for the last six months but
the term Localization testing was new to me and also interesting.. So can u please write some
more testing terms which comes very rarely but important in preparing for an interview..?
#4 shabeena
Hi Vijay,
How to configure any testing tool for a particular project? On what basis we should decide the tool?
Like for ex: If i have a project on school,then which tool should i use?
#5 virender kumar
Dear Sir,
Its wonderful to get this information , i wanted to switch to testing i am in academics since last 3
years tell me what and how to prepare ?tell me some of the tips, ???
#6 pavan
This blog is useful. I think basic knowledge of UNIX also needed to sit infront of an interviewer
#7 zakir
@shabeena
Hi shabeena. Configuring any testing tool for a particular project depends on the type of testing you
are going to perform on that project. We need to choose the tool based on the Testing strategy and
the client requirement which mainly includes COST factor. So a tool for any domain is not the logic
friend.
cheers

Friends,
I am new to testing and from the above article I have one confusion in the statement
The next most important thing is to know which type/technique/concept of testing can be applied
at what stage of SDLC.
can anyone tell me about the different testing types we can use on different stages of SDLC. Does it
vary based on project or it remains constant in every project.
Enjoy Testing

make a career in testing rather than development?


Kindly provide with some diplomatic & a convincing answer for this.
It would be great if you let me know.
Thanks.
#27 Renu
Hi,
This is a very good site. I have done my M.SC. Maths & Computer Science from Jamia Univ. Delhi
in yr. 2000. Since then i was in Teaching Field. Now I want to switch in Software Testing. Is it
possible to get a job now? (I already have done a course in Software Testing.)
#28 Jayalakshmi

working as a tester in UST global. It is definitely possible to get a job in software testing.
#29 Renu
Hi Jayalaxmi,
Thanx a lot for your suggestion.
#30 vanaja.K
k sir..now can you suggest me any good text book for learning testing concepts so that i can prepare
#31 Ravi Kochar
Hi Hetal ,
Answer to your question Being an engg, why do want to make a career in testing rather than
development? is:
1) If I will be a developer i have to work on a single peice of domain / functionality and in QA /
testing I would have the conmplete business knowlwdge of domain and I wil act as an SME and will
touch each area of the project.
2) In QA also, if I would work on automation, I have to do scripting / coding etc which is more or
less development.
3) I love bug hunting and this is my area of interest.
For above 3 reasons, I want to be in QA/ testing rather than development.
Thanks
Ravi Kochar
#32 Ravi Kochar
Hi vanaja.K,
Effectve methods of Software testing or by William Perry or The Art of Software Testing by
GlenFord would be good option for you.
Thanks

#39 Dinesh
no that will not work now(..as ajay said) , things have been changed over the period and you need
good technical details about the things you mention in your profiles.As testing has became an
profession now and most of the clients trust techi guys who can understand the details of product.

Hi Aruna (#54)
No need to get confused. We wont use any tools for manual testing. If you are using the tool for
testing then it will be an automation testing.
As you said we can use Bugzilla, Excel, Manits, etc. kind of tool/app for reporting and bug tracking

Hello,
I have done mainly manual testing and have not worked in automation testing. Can anyone please
advise what are the skill sets required for a QA tester with automation. Automation testing I beleive
cannot be learned without working on any specific tool, if this is the case where do we need to start
for learning Automation. I know core java which may help in learning selenium but dont know how
it can be implemented. Do we need to know scripting languages like perl python and upto what
level?
#103 Smrithi
