Round: Other Interview
Experience: I don't know what to name this round, but it focused mainly on developing test cases for an object. Say they gave me a stapler and said to develop a test plan listing down test cases for a given object to pass so that it can be confirmed that it is a stapler. Another scenario was with a lift.
