Interview
I was interviewed for Senior QA position (Manual testing). There were two technical rounds which were scheduled through a consultancy. Both the rounds were not so difficult and mainly resolved around coming up with test cases and tools used in the past. They were mainly looking for the test coverage, whether the main functionalities were covered or NOT. In case we miss the main functionalities and focus on the cosmetic ones, they were hinting on getting back to functional test cases. Like wouldn't you want to test this, etc?

The first round was machine coding round to implement a real life scenario. Assigning , approving and cancelling.
