Debugging and Problem Solving

Question 1

How do you handle tight deadlines and pressure?

Answer 1

I review through the stories assigned to me in the sprint and work through the risk and impact. Typically longer tickets to finish is done first, the sooner I can get a complex ticket back to the dev the sooner I can test it again. I handle pressure by communicating clearly and efficiently as things can be blurred when pressure is put on.

Question 2

How do you approach bug tracking and resolution?

Answer 2

I approach defect tracking by using tools like Jira to log, track, and manage defects. I ensure defects are well-documented with steps to reproduce, expected results, and actual results. I work closely with the scrum team to prioritize and resolve defects promptly. Regularly communicate and collaborate to increase efficiency in defect resolution.

Question 3

How do you ensure the quality of your testing process?

Answer 3

Following best practices in test planning, case design, and execution. I prioritize the test cases based on risk and impact and use tools like Jira for defect tracking and managment. I also collaborate with the product manager, design, and development teams to address issues early in backlog refinement.

Question 4

How to approach a bug that is less prioritize but you disagree?

Answer 4

Discuss with the scrum team during stand up with solid data on why the bug needs to be prioritize higher. E.g. On a product website selecting a size does not highlight the size selected. Impacting customer experience and sales.

Question 5

How do you ensure that you have tested all possible scenarios for a particular functionality?

Answer 5

I have exhausted my list of testing types that could apply to the specific product and that there is no critical and major bugs.

Question 6

How do you approach debugging to communicate effectively to devs?

Answer 6

• Understand the problem (reproduce the issue, expected behavior)
• Analyze the error (error messages, logs using devtools or newrelic)
• Narrow down the cause (recent changes in the code (version control))
• Fix the problem (implement fix)
• Regression test (no new bugs introduced
• Document the issue and solution

Question 7

What do you believe is the most important aspect of quality assurance?

Answer 7

preventing defects and ensuring that the software meets the specified requirements and quality standards before it reaches the end-users.
