Senior test engineer Interview Questions

100 - 1 = 99 days

This question is phrased incorrectly. I think you meant "4 units after 3 days". Which makes your answer wrong as well. This is not helpful at all.

if you start with 1sq unit - lets say you end up with 'x' amount to fill up - takes 100 days if you start with 2 sq unit - you will have to fill up '2x' amount thus it will take - 200 days.

public class CreateStack { List l = new LinkedList(); public void push(Integer i) { l.add(i); } public void pop(){ l.remove(l.size()-1); } public Integer getMiddle(){ return l.get((l.size()-1)/2); } }

import os import re import sys class Stack: def __init__(self): self.arrList = [] def isEmpty(self): if len(self.arrList): return False else: return True def push(self, val): self.arrList.append(val) def pop(self): if not self.isEmpty(): self.arrList[len(self.arrList)-1] self.arrList = self.arrList[:len(self.arrList)-1] else: print "Array list is empty" def returnMiddle(self): if not self.isEmpty(): mid = len(self.arrList)/2 return self.arrList[mid] else: print "Array list is empty" def listStack(self): print self.arrList s = Stack() s.push(5) s.push(6) s.listStack() print s.returnMiddle() s.pop() s.listStack() s.push(20) s.push(45) s.push(435) s.push(35) s.listStack() print s.returnMiddle() s.pop() s.listStack()

public int getNext(int[] ar, int k) { int low = 0; int high = ar.length-1; int mid = low+(high-low)/2; if (ar[high] k && (mid==0 || ar[mid-1]<=k)) { return ar[mid]; } if(ar[mid]<=k) { low = mid+1; } else { high = mid; } mid = low+(high-low)/2; } return -1; }

I think those 2 are valid questions. When they asked about moving out in 2 yrs, they might be trying to get handle on you whether you have any cultural issues working in United States. When they asked about full time. They did fully understood your resume and asked that question. You are full time to cognizant, and might be working at some client location as contractor to client from cognizant and not working at Cognizant location and on a Cognizant product. The interviewer fully understood how cognizant, TCS and Wipro full time employees work in United states. Moreover, I dont think these 2 questions and answers to questions make them to take different decision. I disagree with your comment on equal opportunity employer and discrimination comment. I know lot of people from different background and different countries working at Pearson. I hope you will find a good opportunity in future. All the best.

To begin with this was not my first onsite interview in the united states. Early last year i got a full time offer of senior developer with the largest broadcasting and cable television company in the world.Due to personal reason i did not join that company.And i have an open invitation from the Director of Engineer (the hiring manager)of that company to consider working with that company in future.There were four rounds of technical interview and then interview with the hiring manager,none of them asked how long have i been in the united states instead the hiring manager took me to lunch with him (the very first day i met with this person). The second onsite interview was with the eighth-largest bank holding company in the United States. And this time to my utter surprise one of the hiring managers told me "Now a days Indian IT companies like Tata Consultancy Services no longer bringing their employees on H-1B instead they are bringing employees on L1 Visa so that employees can not change their jobs in USA".I do not think any sane interviewer can tell all this in an interview.Well this time i did not get an offer and i was happy that i did not. Now coming to interview at Pearson, the question "You are just 2 years in United States and looking for a job change?" is not at all valid to the best of my knowledge. If the interviewer had intention of knowing whether i have any cultural issues he could have asked the question in thousand different ways but not the way i was asked And you know it better. This short of questions comes out of prejudice not ignorant. I can challenge if there were a single wrong answer given during technical phone screen and in the onsite technical round.So where is the feedback of my technical interview. Just saying " we have decided to concentrate our attention on other candidates who we believe best meet the current needs of our organization" does not put proper light into the evaluation process. My advice is try to hire 'Characters' not skills because skills are cheap these days. Best of luck with finding talent!!! Thank You.

To add more to what i have said above. The banking company and the broadcasting i mentioned in my earlier post both have employees coming from different background and countries but my experience was completely different. It is the people who represent an organisation and i still believe this kind of questions represents Pearson that it is not 'fully' equal opportunity employer and discrimination are made. Thanks

write a program to define whether an array is sorted or not

class Vowels{ public static void main(String args[]){ String input = "abcdefgh"; String vowels = "aeiou"; String output = ""; for(int i=0;i

This was a fantastic question and one that is rarely asked. It allowed me to discuss something very specific that was career-focused but that had forced me to step back and view how I appeared to other people. I felt I was able to give a lot of information about who I am with this kind of question and I appreciated the chance to do so.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the ReviewTrackers interview experience! As you said, even though there was initially no role available, we loved your background and your story. Personally, I am thrilled to hear that our recruitment process worked for you, even if it spanned a few weeks. Your amazing feedback reaffirms the way we find and hire talent. Welcome aboard, and again thank you so much for sharing your review with the Glassdoor community.

i couldn't really come up with decent code for this, and i think this was the turning point in the interview which otherwise was going alright.

vector findAllPalindrome ( string str) { vector stack; vector result; string buff = ""; int len = str.length(); if (len == 0) return result; stack.push_back(str[0]); for (int i = 1; i
