02
SQL: find customers who placed more than three orders in the last 30 days.
Show answer
SELECT c.id, c.name, COUNT(o.id) AS order_count
FROM customers c
JOIN orders o ON o.customer_id = c.id
WHERE o.order_date >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '30' DAY
GROUP BY c.id, c.name
HAVING COUNT(o.id) > 3
ORDER BY order_count DESC;
03
What is a REST API?
Show answer
An API style using HTTP methods on resources identified by URLs, usually exchanging JSON and staying stateless.
04
What do testers look for during a requirement review?
Show answer
Check that each requirement is clear, complete, consistent and testable. Look for vague words like fast or user-friendly, missing error handling, undefined limits, conflicting rules and missing roles or states. For each requirement ask how you would test it and what the expected result is. Record questions in a review log and get answers from the business analyst before writing test cases, so ambiguity does not turn into defects later.
05
What is shift-left testing and why is it cheaper?
Show answer
Shift-left means starting testing activities earlier in the life cycle: reviewing requirements, joining design discussions and writing tests before code is complete. A defect found in requirements may cost a short conversation to fix, while the same defect found in production may need a hotfix, data correction and customer support. Testers shift left by asking questions in grooming, defining acceptance criteria and reviewing designs.
06
How do you set up and clean test data for database tests without affecting other testers?
Show answer
Create your own data with a clear prefix or tag, such as emails starting with qa_ravi_, or IDs in a reserved range. Insert data through the app or API where possible so it follows real rules, and keep SQL setup scripts in version control. After testing, delete only your tagged rows, or run inside a transaction and roll back. Never edit shared master data without telling the team.
07
What is a test oracle?
Show answer
A test oracle is the source you use to decide whether a test result is correct, that is, the expected result. It can be a requirement document, a user story, an older version of the system, a calculation in a spreadsheet, a domain expert or common sense. For example, when testing a tax calculator, the official tax slab table is the oracle. Without a reliable oracle, you cannot say a test passed or failed.
08
How do you chain requests in Postman by passing a token from login to the next call?
Show answer
// Tests tab of the Login request
const body = pm.response.json();
pm.environment.set('authToken', body.token);
// Next request header:
// Authorization: Bearer {{authToken}}
// Postman replaces {{authToken}} with the saved value
09
What is a keyboard trap?
Show answer
A keyboard trap is when focus moves into a component and the user cannot move out using the keyboard, for example an embedded video player or date picker that captures Tab forever. Mouse users never notice, but keyboard and screen reader users are stuck and must reload the page. It fails WCAG criterion 2.1.2. Test every widget by tabbing in and out, and check that Escape closes popups and returns focus.
10
How do you balance manual testing and automation work in the same sprint?
Show answer
I agree the split with the team at sprint planning. Testing new stories manually comes first because it blocks the sprint goal. I then automate the stable flows from the previous sprint, so scripts are not rewritten while features change. For example, I block two afternoons a week for automation and report progress in stand-up. If a release is at risk, I pause automation and tell the lead openly.
11
What is JSON schema validation in API testing?
Show answer
JSON schema validation checks that a response has the expected structure: required fields are present, data types are correct, formats like email or date are valid and no unexpected fields appear. Instead of checking only one value, it protects against contract changes that break the app. In Postman you can validate a response against a schema in the test script, and run it on every request in a collection.
12
The developer says "it's not a bug". What do you do?
Show answer
Re-check the requirement, reproduce with clear steps and evidence (screenshots, logs), discuss with the BA/PO and record the final decision.
13
What automated accessibility tools exist and what are their limits?
Show answer
Common tools are axe DevTools, Lighthouse in Chrome, WAVE and accessibility linters in CI. They quickly catch missing alt text, low contrast, missing labels and invalid ARIA. Their limit is that they find only roughly a third of WCAG issues. They cannot judge whether alt text is meaningful, focus order is logical, error messages make sense or a custom widget works with a screen reader, so manual testing is still required.
14
What is JQL?
Show answer
JIRA Query Language, used to search issues, for example project = ABC AND status = Open AND priority = High.
15
What is the difference between vulnerability scanning and penetration testing?
Show answer
Vulnerability scanning uses automated tools to look for known weaknesses, such as outdated libraries, missing security headers or open ports. It is fast, repeatable and can run in the pipeline, but gives false positives. Penetration testing is a deeper, mostly manual exercise by security experts who try to exploit weaknesses and chain them like a real attacker. Teams scan regularly and run penetration tests before major releases or yearly.
16
How do you run a moderated usability test session?
Show answer
Define goals and three to five realistic tasks, such as 'Book a train ticket for next Friday'. Recruit participants who match real users. In the session, explain that you are testing the product, not them, ask them to think aloud, and avoid hinting even when they struggle. Record the screen with consent, note where they hesitate or fail, and finish with a short questionnaire. Then group findings by severity and frequency.
17
What is backward compatibility testing?
Show answer
Backward compatibility testing checks that a new version still works with older versions of things it depends on or that depend on it. Examples: a new app version opens files and data created by the old one, a new API version still serves older mobile app versions that users have not updated, and an upgraded database keeps old records readable. It prevents breaking existing users when only some parts of the system are upgraded.
18
Write a simple Playwright test in TypeScript that logs in and checks the dashboard heading.
Show answer
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test('valid user can log in', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('https://qa.example.com/login');
await page.getByLabel('Email').fill('qa.user@test.com');
await page.getByLabel('Password').fill('Secret@123');
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Login' }).click();
await expect(page.getByRole('heading', { name: 'Dashboard' })).toBeVisible();
});
19
Tell me about a time you designed tests for a feature with unclear requirements.
Show answer
Model answer: Situation: I got a story for 'flexible EMI options' with only one line of description. Task: test it within the sprint. Action: I listed my assumptions on tenure, interest and rounding, reviewed them with the product owner in a 15-minute call, and wrote test cases only after we agreed. Result: three rules were changed before coding finished, and the feature passed UAT without rework.
20
What are entry and exit criteria?
Show answer
Entry criteria are conditions that must be met to start testing (build ready, environment set); exit criteria define when testing can stop (pass rate, no critical defects).
21
What goes into a test plan?
Show answer
Scope (in and out), objectives, approach, environments, schedule, roles, entry/exit criteria, risks and mitigation, deliverables and tools.
22
How do you convert existing manual test cases into automated scripts?
Show answer
Pick a small set of stable, high-value regression cases first. Review each one: make steps precise, remove judgement-based checks and define clear expected results. Prepare test data that the script can create and clean up. Build reusable page objects and helpers for common steps like login. Automate, run several times to confirm stability, then link each script to its manual case ID and mark the manual case as automated.
23
Production has a critical bug. What are your steps?
Show answer
Reproduce and assess impact, inform stakeholders, help developers fix and verify in staging, run regression and check monitoring after the hotfix, then do a post-mortem.
24
What is defect density?
Show answer
The number of defects per size of software, for example defects per thousand lines of code or per module, used to compare quality.
25
You change the order ID in a URL and see another customer's order. What is this and what do you do?
Show answer
This is an insecure direct object reference, a form of broken access control and a critical security bug, because any user can read other users' data. Stop exploring further beyond what is needed to confirm it, record the request, accounts used and evidence, and log it as a critical bug with restricted visibility. Inform the lead and security contact immediately. The fix is a server-side ownership check on every request.
26
What does Won't Fix mean and who decides it?
Show answer
Won't Fix means the bug is acknowledged as real, but the team decides not to fix it, usually because the impact is very low, the feature is being retired or the cost of fixing is higher than the benefit. The decision is made by the product owner, often in triage with dev and QA leads. The tester should make sure the reason is recorded and, if user-facing, documented as a known issue.
27
What is the difference between smoke testing in CI and full regression?
Show answer
Smoke tests run on every build for quick feedback; full regression runs less often, such as nightly or before release.
28
What is a bug triage meeting?
Show answer
A regular review where QA, development and product assess new bugs and decide severity, priority, owner and target release.
29
How do you test an application with no documentation?
Show answer
Talk to developers and users, explore the product, review similar systems, create notes and mind maps, confirm assumptions and write test cases as you learn.
30
Write test cases for a calculator app.
Show answer
Basic operations, division by zero, decimals, large numbers, order of operations, clear and backspace, repeated operations and memory keys.
31
Write a SQL query to find duplicate records.
Show answer
SELECT email, COUNT(*) FROM users GROUP BY email HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
32
What is data integrity and what are its main types?
Show answer
Data integrity means data stays accurate and consistent through its life. Entity integrity: every row has a unique, non-null primary key. Referential integrity: a foreign key always points to an existing parent row, such as every order pointing to a real customer. Domain integrity: values stay within allowed types and ranges, enforced by data types, CHECK and NOT NULL constraints. User-defined integrity covers business rules, such as an order total never being negative.
33
What is defect prevention and what practical techniques does a QA team use?
Show answer
Defect prevention focuses on stopping defects from being introduced instead of only finding them. Practical techniques include requirement reviews and clear acceptance criteria, Three Amigos sessions, design and code reviews, unit testing standards, coding checklists from past bugs, root cause analysis of escaped defects, and training on common mistakes. Track whether repeated defect types fall over time to prove the effort works.
34
How do you write test cases when only wireframes are available and the UI is not ready?
Show answer
Use the wireframes and the user story as the test basis. Write test scenarios and high-level cases for the flows, field validations, navigation and error states shown in the design. Note open questions, such as missing empty states or error messages, and clarify them with the designer. Keep exact UI text and steps light so they are easy to update. Once the build arrives, refine the cases and add any missing details.
35
What is risk-based testing?
Show answer
Prioritising tests by the likelihood and impact of failure, so critical areas get the most coverage when time is limited.
36
Why do performance reports use percentiles like p90 and p95 instead of averages?
Show answer
An average hides slow requests. If 90 requests take 1 second and 10 take 10 seconds, the average is 1.9 seconds, which looks fine, but one user in ten waits 10 seconds. The p95 value means 95 percent of requests were faster than it, so it shows what most users actually experience, including the slow tail. Service level targets are usually written as percentiles, such as p95 under 2 seconds.
37
Write test cases for a signup form.
Show answer
Mandatory fields, email format, password rules, duplicate email, terms checkbox, captcha, confirmation email and field length limits.
38
What is a test environment?
Show answer
The hardware, software, data and configuration where testing happens, set up to mirror production as closely as practical.
39
The product team wants to skip UAT to ship faster. What do you advise?
Show answer
Explain the risk: system testing proves the software matches the specification, but only users confirm it fits real business work. Propose a lighter option instead of none: a short, focused UAT on critical flows with two or three key users, or a staged rollout to a small user group with monitoring and quick rollback. If they still skip it, record the decision and the accepted risks with the product owner.
40
How do you write a good bug title?
Show answer
State the problem, location and condition briefly, for example 'Checkout button disabled after applying a coupon on the cart page'.
