What the deck covers
This deck covers the manual testing theory that QA interviews start with, using ISTQB-style terms that most Indian companies use. The 23 cards are grouped into 8 topics: Basics, Levels, Types, Techniques, Documents, Defects, Process, Agile. Answers are short on purpose: one or two sentences you can say out loud, which you then back up with an example from your own projects.
A card from the deck
Q: Severity vs priority?
A: Severity is how badly the defect affects the system. Priority is how soon it must be fixed. A typo in the company name on the home page is low severity but high priority.
The example in the answer, a typo in the company name, is the one interviewers expect, so have a second example ready, such as a crash in a rarely used admin screen: high severity, lower priority.
How to study with it
- For boundary value analysis, practise on any form you use daily: age, OTP length, amount limits.
- Bring a real bug report you've written, with steps, to describe in the interview.
- In the Manual testing deck, cards you mark "still learning" come back three cards later in the same round, and the results screen lists them so you can download a revision sheet.
