Pretty much stopped reading when the answer to the first question involved writing test cases. Testing does not have to mean churning out hundreds of test cases, they are inefficient and not that effective at finding bugs. If a QA Manager ( or tester ) had such a strong attachment to them then the interview would be over.
Definitely stopped reading when answer2 was 'detailed test cases'
- Kaibert123 12y agoI don't know that these questions were ranked in any way. I didn't get that impression...it wasn't top ten questions to ask. Asking about how a QA manager handles testcases is a pretty fundamental part of the job, and a good indicator for the hiring party, when evaluated along with the rest. Also, the questions are coming from a company focused on automated testing from what I gather, so, yeah, it's gonna be in the list.
- tootie 12y agoTrue dat. My company has an awesome QA practice and test cases are never written. Testing is automated where appropriate and otherwise based on acceptance criteria of stories.
