As a former test director, I think I can talk about this topic in the interview.
First of all, if you were the interviewer, what kind of person would you want to hire?
If you can figure that out, you can say that interviewing for test positions is a lot easier.
Next friends ready small bench, begin to learn.
According to standard practice, the interviewer will ask you to introduce yourself, talk about your project experience, and ask about your technical skills. These are standard questions.
In this post, I’m not going to talk about stereotypes. Instead, I’m going to use examples from my previous interviews to describe how tricky the interviewers were, where they set you up for trouble, and how you responded to a tough question.
You have said more detailed, here I do not list the rules, I only show you a real interviewer, show a real interview process.
First, introduce yourself.
Self-introduction is an essential part of any interview process, and it is arguably the most important part, because every interviewer needs the shortest time to get to know you, what you have done before, how many years of experience, and what projects you have done. It can be said that after a brief introduction, the interviewer has already made up his mind about 50% whether he wants you or not.
Ii. The testing process of the previous company.
There is no previous company, don’t make trouble, are you planning to interview interns, we come up to the formal, technical level has reached, why let work experience this to limit you.
So, the interviewer asked this question, on the one hand, in order to understand whether the previous company and the company’s test process is close, there should be a comparison, if not, the gap is not big, your process is normal. In fact, these are not the most important, the main thing is to see if you are clear about the whole testing process. The interviewer will use the previous testing process to test your knowledge of the complete testing process. So, this is the first pit, if you do not speak well, or a perfunctory say is casually measured, then you lost a chance to show their ability, also jumped into the interviewer to set the first “trap” for you.
As an aside, let’s talk more about how to answer this question if the interviewer asks you.
First of all, the first thing in a formal company’s testing process is to get the requirements document. Users say what they want, and the product personnel record it and turn it into a requirements document.
Later, our testers and developers conduct a requirement review after the product personnel take out the requirements document, and need to know what kind of function and software the users want. During the review process, be sure to conduct an analysis of the requirements to see if there are ambiguities and inaccuracies.
That’s the first thing, the requirements review.
So after we pass the requirement review, our testers need to write a test plan by the test leader and manager.
After the test plan is written, gather all testers together for a meeting to review the test plan.
What will be reviewed? Is the arrangement reasonable? Is the schedule really enough? Including inside the risk is avoided, as well as our test machine preparation
After passing the review, let’s write test cases again, divide the division of personnel, and then write good test cases, and then test case review. If there are no missing points, after passing the review, we will start to execute the test cases, then the first round of testing, the second test, the third test iteration, until he accepts the test, and then we will launch and write our test report.
The whole process is over.
Combine this process with your resume project to answer, absolutely is a very perfect answer, as the interviewer, you will think that the last employer’s testing process is very very clear! This is a question that interviewers are looking for a perfect answer to, and it’s a great way to gauge whether you’ve actually worked.
What are you responsible for
Attention! Send proposition!
For example, take e-commerce projects as an example. If you don’t have any work experience, you will be afraid to answer this question by saying that you are only responsible for the login module. If you answer this way, you will be shot in the interviewer’s mind.
Why? Because when I was a test manager, I would only assign the registration module to interns, and I would never entrust this module to a person with strong technical ability. If you are in charge of knowledge module, it can only be said that your leader does not think highly of you.
So how to answer this “gift proposition”? Don’t be afraid to say you are in charge of a process testing, I am in charge of the ordering process, or in charge of the payment process, or refund process, these are more logical. So these processes are involved in the front and back, because involved in the audit link, it will involve the database, so you answer, that you do the work more technical content, your technical level is not a problem.
What testing methods have you used?
When you say that a logical business is for you to test, the interviewer is sure to ask you what kind of tests you have used to verify the truth of the last question. Test method, not table, in my other answer to look for information to view.
5. What is the most logical BUG you have encountered during the test?
Send proposition! On the blackboard! I always use this routine!
What is the purpose of this question? The goal is have you really tested it, and if you’re writing it, if you’re lying to the interviewer, you’re stuck, because you’re on the spot, and you have no idea what a logical BUG you found was. You couldn’t have figured it out. This is a small way to check whether the project is real or not.
Some interviewers are very cunning and will deliberately say something wrong. I used to use this method when I was in the interview for advanced tests. In speaking of loadrunner or jmeter, for example, I deliberately say something wrong, then I see your reaction, if there is no response or deadpan still nod, so I can be sure that you won’t be the tool, resume writing “familiar with” or “proficient” is contain water, so, the interviewer to investigate your tool usage, Maybe not directly.
In addition, let’s extend to say that there are pits to avoid in the interview process. Frankly speaking, even if the interview has not passed, we also have to know how to die.
Six, the occupation view of the problem
A. What role do you think testing plays in a software development process
B. Why did you leave your last company
C. What are your future plans
D. What kind of salary do you expect
E. What qualities do you think are required for a qualified test
This is a series of tricky questions, so be prepared.
7. There are some implicit statements from HR or manager that offer you an olive branch
A. Your 7000 is a little too high. If I offer you 6K, please accept it
Explanation: This kind of question is basically hiring you, if you are not too wrong in the answer to the question, can tell you that the salary is basically able to hire you. If you don’t meet, satiate tells you the price.
Answer: Well (pretending to think about it for a moment) I have weighed it up, first of all, it would be a great opportunity to have such an opportunity. As for the high or low salary the company decides (of course, the premise is that the salary is acceptable to you), my main idea is still to be able to contribute to the company and learn more things I don’t know in the job
B. At the end of the interview, you will be told about the company’s business process and what the main daily work is like.
Explanation: Same as 1 above, if I’m not interested in you, I’ll tell you what our company does.
C. Told you about working overtime. For example, we do not work overtime very much, but there is no way to work overtime in special circumstances, but not too much. Is that acceptable to you?
Explanation: On the one hand, this is to tell you the intensity of the work, and also to tell you that I think you are ok, if there is no one better than you later we will consider you first
D. When will you be available
Explanation: This.. Problems to see, but also to listen to tone. It may mean different things in different ways. This is also a tentative question. If you say it will take a long time, he can find someone else or keep you as a backup. But it’s very late in the interview and you have a very high success rate
Do you think this is ok? I still need to hand over some things in the last company. I can arrive first after a week, and I may need to ask for leave in the future. After all, responsibility comes first in today’s society. I can assure you, your favorability rating went through the roof
That’s pretty much all I can sum up. Basically, I have met all the above situations, whether or not the HR of this industry gave me the face. In fact, the main worry will be nervous, this is very normal after all, they just learned or not familiar with the professional field will have some nervous, worried mood, so I advocate in the first interview to fight a unprepared battle, see how deep their water.
The key points:
A. The image must be clean, decent and reasonable
B. Speak in a modest tone, not too proud (of course, when talking about your most impressive bug, you should have a light eye feeling)
C. Speak in a moderate voice. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t be afraid that the other person is a human being. I don’t know if I can be a colleague after today’s meeting
D. nervous? It doesn’t matter. Slow down. This will calm your nerves
E. Don’t look away, especially for men. If you’re looking good and the interviewer is a woman, look her in the eye without distracting yourself. Being masculine is a definite plus.
What? You’re a girl. What if you’re embarrassed? That simple, look at the eye is not used to look at each other’s nose or eyebrows it doesn’t matter.
F. Try to blurt out answers to questions you are familiar with, of course. If they really can’t, then modest answer said, oh sorry manager this problem I really did not involve, you can explain to me. People in the IT industry are weirdos. They think they know a lot, so they’ll fill their vanity with explanations (and there are weirdos too).
G. If you’re not very good at something, you might want to mention that my best friend is also in the business and I’d like to pick his brain. It gives an illusion about the experience you’re having, that you have one more way to learn, and they’re less engaged. But, you know, that whole “best friend” thing is a lie…
H. For their future development must have a plan in advance, even if you don’t know to make up a set, but don’t say 3~5 years I want to sit on the test manager position… Your general face is the manager, you come up where do I sit? Pack up and go?
I. Make sure you know if the person you’re talking to is HR or the boss of the test or the manager of the test.
J. Try not to mention that I can learn. The company doesn’t have the resources to hire someone to teach you. What you should mention is that I am also studying on my own, reading XXXX books. I have strong learning ability and adaptability, so I will be able to quickly integrate into the environment.
K. Others, be confident and assertive, so that the interviewer can see that you are a reliable person, even though you may not be the best at business. After all, business ability can be improved, but human quality is not what they want to cultivate.
Eight. Write at the end
I wish you can find your ideal job as soon as possible. Remember not to aim too high.
No winter will pass, no spring will come, the past 2020 is an extraordinary year for people around the world, everyone is strong and brave in the fight against the epidemic, here we clap our hands together, 2021 is coming as promised, make good goals to continue to grow.
