The Hiring Manager contacted me based on the referal. Instead of having a phone interview the hiring manager actually scheduled one-on-one in-person interview. The interview questions are 1. Tell me something about yourself. 2. Tell me something about your previous experiences and what was your role. 3. Why full-time position at Microsoft. 4. Why testing and not development 5. Test a vending machine which is localized for Americans. 6. How to design the testing of vending machine i.e. what is the sequence of testing's you will do. For example structure the testing process as Snack bar, buttons, coins, dispenser, power control, motor etc. 7. How would you go with automation. Which testing you would automate and which you would do manually. 8. It is a coding question: Given 2 strings write a program to find if they are anagrams are not. For example: abc and bca are 2 strings then it should return true because both strings have same length and also all the characters match each other. The count of the characters should also be same. 9. Test the above code with different types of tests. 10. The interviewer suggested to ask any questions about their team. Later I got call from the recruiter saying they are interested in conducting a full-loop interviews. Here are the interview details 1. Implement maze functionality (Mouse should move and eat the cheese) with the following functions • Step: Moves the mouse 1 step ahead • Rotate: It will rotate the mouse 90 degrees. • IsDotWall: Will return true or false based on if the wall is there. • Is.Cheese: This needs to be called when you find out that cheese is there. It will basically exit the program. 2. Test GoTo dialog box in one of the microsoft internal applications. 3.
