Hi, I found this document to be helpful while planning for manual testing interview.Personal Question
1. How you want to see yourself after 3 years?
I would be looking at a senior member in the organization where i could take some crucial decision and also leading a team of testers.
2. What is your life dream?
To be a good manager for a team of young testers.
3. Tell about your Positives and negatives?
My positives are group work and adjusting mentality. My negatives are difficulty in saying a 'no'.
4. In what way you say that this work given to you will be done better than others?
My ability for team work, better understanding, and client coordination will give a better out put.
5. When you realize for a relentless fault that you have done that will cause a major problem how you will react?
I will owe it up and explain to my seniors about how i did the mistake and apologize for the same. Then will find ways by which i can solve the issue.
6. How will be your Problem management in absence of your immediate senior?
I will talk to my team members and take a collective decision and talk to senior over phone and tell him about the team decision and ask him for his advice and proceed as per his instructions.
7. Tell me about your very good and very bad experience?
My good experience was after SIT a few bugs were not rectified and send to client the developers took the responsibility for the bugs. When the same issue was raised by the client the developers said that they had rectified it. Since the issue was raised by the client it directly came top the quality dept from our top management and since i had screen shoots and explained the situation to my seniors before sending the release i was not affected by it.
8. When you are forced to do the work that is not coming under your responsibility what will you do?
It will basically depend on the scope of the project. If it is not there in the scope will tell them it is not in our project scope. But if we happen to see that the client is a very important for the organization will try to put in some extra effort and do the work for the client.

2 Tier: Refers to client/server architectures in which the user interface runs on the client and the database is stored on the server. The actual application logic can run on either the client or the server.
3 Tier: A special type of client/server architecture consisting of three well-defined and separate processes, each running on a different platform:
a. The user interface, which runs on the user's computer (the client).
b. The functional modules that actually process data. This middle tier runs on a server and is often called the application server.
c. A database management system (DBMS) that stores the data required by the middle tier. This tier runs on a second server called the database server.

84. Who can perform the Unit Testing?
Normally the developers are better to do unit testing. If it is not done by them then it can be done by the testers.
85. When will the Verification & Validation be done?
Verification before testing and validation during testing.
86. What is meant by Code Walkthrough?
A formal testing technique where source code is traced by a group with a small set of test cases, while the state of program variables is manually monitored, to analyze the programmer's logic and assumptions.
87. What is meant Code Review?
A formal testing technique where the programmer reviews source code with a group who ask questions analyzing the program logic, analyzing the code with respect to a checklist of historically common programming errors, and analyzing its compliance with coding standards. It is also called as Code Inspection.
88. What is the testing that a tester performs at the end of Unit Testing?
Integration Testing.
89. What are the things, you prefer & Prepare before starting Testing?
