I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Jun 2022. There were 2 interview rounds.
Object oriented programming is a programming paradigm that uses objects to represent and manipulate data.
Object oriented programming focuses on creating reusable code by organizing data and behavior into objects.
Objects have attributes (data) and methods (behavior) that can be accessed and modified through the object's interface.
Inheritance allows objects to inherit attributes and methods from parent objects, promoting...
Static and final are both keywords in Java with different meanings.
Static is used to define a class-level variable or method that can be accessed without creating an instance of the class.
Final is used to define a constant value that cannot be changed once assigned.
Static can also be used to define a block of code that is executed only once when the class is loaded.
Final can also be used to define a class or method tha
Exceptions in Java can be handled using try-catch blocks.
Enclose the code that may throw an exception in a try block.
Catch the exception using catch block and handle it appropriately.
Finally block can be used to execute code regardless of whether an exception is thrown or not.
Multiple catch blocks can be used to handle different types of exceptions.
Throwing an exception can be done using the throw keyword.
Collection framework is a set of classes and interfaces that provide a standard way to store and manipulate groups of objects.
It provides interfaces like List, Set, Queue, etc. to store and manipulate collections of objects.
It also provides classes like ArrayList, HashSet, PriorityQueue, etc. that implement these interfaces.
It simplifies the process of storing, searching, sorting, and manipulating collections of object...
Polymorphism refers to the ability of an object to take on multiple forms.
Compile-time polymorphism: Function overloading and operator overloading
Run-time polymorphism: Virtual functions and function overriding
Ad-hoc polymorphism: Function templates and operator overloading
Parametric polymorphism: Templates in C++ and generics in Java
Multiple inheritance can be achieved through interfaces or mixins.
Interfaces allow a class to implement multiple interfaces, each with its own set of methods and properties.
Mixins are classes that contain a set of methods and properties that can be added to other classes.
Example of interfaces: class MyClass implements Interface1, Interface2 {}
Example of mixins: class MyClass extends Mixin1(Mixin2(MyBaseClass)) {}
DELETE and TRUNCATE are SQL commands used to remove data from a table.
DELETE removes specific rows from a table based on a condition
TRUNCATE removes all rows from a table
DELETE is slower than TRUNCATE
TRUNCATE resets the identity of the table
DELETE can be rolled back, but TRUNCATE cannot
A foreign key is a column or set of columns in a database table that refers to the primary key of another table.
It is used to establish a relationship between two tables in a database.
It ensures referential integrity by preventing invalid data from being inserted into the table.
It can be used to join tables together to retrieve data from multiple tables.
For example, a customer table may have a foreign key that refers t

Static testing is done without executing the code, while dynamic testing involves executing the code.
Static testing is performed during the early stages of development to prevent defects from entering the codebase.
Dynamic testing is carried out during the later stages of development to validate the behavior of the software.
Examples of static testing include code reviews, walkthroughs, and inspections.
Examples of dynami...
Locators in Selenium are used to identify web elements on a web page in order to perform actions like click, type, etc.
Locators are used to find elements on a web page based on certain attributes like id, name, class, etc.
Common types of locators in Selenium include ID, Name, Class Name, Tag Name, Link Text, Partial Link Text, CSS Selector, and XPath.
For example, driver.findElement(By.id("username")) will find the elem

The software testing life cycle is a process that defines the various stages involved in testing a software application.
It includes planning, designing test cases, executing tests, reporting bugs, and retesting.
The stages may vary depending on the development methodology used, such as Agile or Waterfall.
Examples of testing stages include unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing.
Severity refers to the impact of a defect on the system, while priority refers to the urgency of fixing the defect.
Severity is the measure of how much a defect affects the system's functionality.
Priority is the measure of how soon a defect needs to be fixed.
Severity is usually categorized as low, medium, or high.
Priority is usually categorized as low, medium, or high.
For example, a spelling mistake in a button label ma...
Bug life cycle refers to the stages a bug goes through from identification to resolution.
Bug is identified by QA team or users
Bug is reported in a bug tracking system
Bug is assigned to a developer for fixing
Developer fixes the bug
Bug is retested by QA team
If bug is fixed, it is closed. If not, it is reopened
Bug may go through multiple cycles before being resolved
Adhoc testing is informal testing without any predefined test cases or plans.
Adhoc testing is performed randomly without any specific guidelines or documentation.
It is usually done to explore the application and find defects that may not be covered in regular testing.
Adhoc testing is not structured and is often performed by experienced testers who can think outside the box.
Examples of adhoc testing include randomly cli...
Regression testing is the process of retesting a software application to ensure that new code changes have not adversely affected existing functionality.
Repeating test cases that have been previously executed to verify that the unchanged parts of the software still perform as expected
Ensuring that new code changes have not introduced any new bugs or issues
Automating regression tests to save time and effort in retesting
...
Functional testing is a type of software testing that focuses on verifying that the software functions correctly according to the specified requirements.
Tests the functionality of the software
Verifies that the software behaves as expected
Does not concern itself with the internal structure of the software
Examples include testing user interfaces, APIs, databases, and integrations
Software development life cycle is a process used to design, develop, and test software applications.
It consists of phases such as planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance.
Each phase has specific goals and deliverables to ensure the quality and success of the software.
Examples of SDLC models include Waterfall, Agile, and DevOps.
Error, bug, and issue are terms used in software testing to describe different types of problems.
Error: A mistake made by a human that results in a fault in the software.
Bug: A fault in the software that causes it to behave incorrectly or unexpectedly.
Issue: A problem reported by a user or identified during testing that needs to be addressed.
Example: Typing 'pritn' instead of 'print' in the code is an error. If this mi...
Regression testing ensures that new code changes do not adversely affect existing functionality, while sanity testing quickly checks if the software is ready for further testing.
Regression testing is performed after code changes to ensure that existing functionality is not affected.
Sanity testing is a quick test to check if the software is ready for further testing.
Regression testing is comprehensive and covers all are...
A test pass is a collection of test runs, while a test run is a single execution of a test case.
A test pass includes multiple test runs, which are iterations of executing test cases.
A test run is a single instance of executing a test case to verify its functionality.
Test passes are used to group and organize test runs for a specific testing phase or cycle.
Test runs are typically recorded and documented to track the res

Boundary testing is a software testing technique that focuses on testing the boundaries or limits of input values.
Boundary testing checks if the system handles both the minimum and maximum values correctly.
It helps identify any issues related to boundary conditions.
Examples include testing a login form with the minimum and maximum allowed characters for a password.
Another example is testing a calculator application wit...
The number of test cases for a login page depends on various factors such as functionality, user roles, error handling, and security measures.
