Crest Data Systems Qa Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process is a multi-stage assessment to gauge a candidate's suitability for a role. It includes initial screening, first interview, assessments, second-round interviews, and a final interview, potentially leading to an offer.

First, there was an online test with 3 parts. The first part was a 30-minute logical reasoning test. The second part involved looking at a webpage and finding as many bugs as possible within 1 hour. The third part was an SQL test where you had to create tables, add data, and run queries as instructed. After that, a technical interview lasting about 1 hour. They asked about my college projects, technologies I'm comfortable with, and some theory from "art of testing" website. We also covered different test case scenarios, test cases from my projects, real-time uses of testing methods, and some logical questions. Finally, an HR round which is pretty straightforward, just open communication about yourself, family, achievements, hobbies, education, and certificates. This round was very short, around 8-10 minutes.

It was a practical exam that lasted 2 hours. The task was to understand requirements, write test cases, and report bugs. The requirements provided were really bad, making it impossible to write test cases without understanding them first. You had to write test cases without understanding the requirements to finish on time. Passing this test purely on skills is impossible; luck is a big factor.
