It's essential to demonstrate that you can really go deep... there are plenty of followup questions and (sometimes tangential) angles to explore. There's a lot of Lead Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) experts who've worked at Marqeta, who provide this sort of practice through mock interviews. There's a whole list of them curated on Prepfully. prepfully.com/practice-interviews Less

How do you know when you have enough test cases to adequately test a software module?

1 Answers

It really depends on the amount of time that is available. If there is not enough time, using the list of requirements available, identify at least two test cases (1 positive and 1 negative scenario) for each requirement. If time permits, use more structured techniques like Equivalence Class Partitioning and Boundary Value Analysis to identify test cases for each requirement. After identifying the test cases, try to normalize them to get the number of adequate test cases to test a software module. Less

With regards to the interview process, this has been tried and tested over 18 years in Australia and our functional, technical, service virtualization and DevOps teams have grown from 600 to 1200+ globally over the past 2 years and into 3 new countries. Every interview you attend will ALWAYS be 1 hour long or more, as the information a recruiter gives will never constitute to what we can discuss face to face, so the fact you are surprised by this tells us you don't get through to many interviews. The technical assessment also deters any of the poor programmers and coders from getting through as we need all levels of consultants to be able to program at a very high level, so this process also shows that your fundamental skills are not what we look for. The fundamentals of testing exam will also gauge your involvement in the full testing process so you have not been successful for many reasons. We wish you the best of luck in your continued search for employment. Less

False. Many technical consultants within the company are actually subpar programmers. Less
