After giving introduction about yourself, the next question
that will be asked to you is – Tell me something about the last project you
worked on?
This is one of the most frequently asked question in any
interview. Isn’t it? Have you goggled it anytime to find out the correct
answer?
Well, I have done that when I was a fresher. : ) Gradually, over a
period of few years, I learnt the technique and now I think I can explain any
project which is showing up in my resume in an understandable format to anyone.
Thinking, HOW?
It’s very SIMPLE. Your interview result depends upon a lot
on the way you explain your project in the interview.
Work for you to do: You must have worked for minimum 6 months or 1
year on this project, right? So, it’s your responsibility to understand the
project architecture. Understand the application behaviour. How does your
application (AUT) works? You should know how many modules are there in your
project? How do they connect with each other? What happens when you click on
module 1 and module 2 or module 3? Are they interconnected? What is end to end
functionality? Even, if you have been assigned with only 1 module, you must
know about other modules in the application as well. Once you are aware of these things, you can explain the project well.
Explain in this way: What was your role? What did you test? Which testing you
performed? Which technology you worked on?Which tools were being used for test case/test script designing,
test case/script execution? Which tool used for defect logging and tracking? Was
it only manual testing or automation testing too?
If you know answers to all the above set of questions, you
are good.
KEY to this question is – Communicate in such a way that the
interviewer understands what you are saying.
BE CONFIDENT. SPEAK CLEARLY AND SPEAK TO THE POINT.
Example: I worked on ABC Project. This project has total 4
modules. I worked on B module. Explain the functionality flow. I was involved in
writing test cases/designing test scripts for which we used <tool name>, we executed the test
cases/test scripts<tool name>and while testing, we found bugs. For bugs, we used
<toolname>. You can explain the framework if worked on automation testing.
Note: You have to give the answer within 2-3 minutes so that
interviewer can ask you further questions. Do not spend 5 minutes or more in
explaining the project. You will miss the opportunity. Please do not bore the interviewer. Thanks for reading! I hope, it will help you.
