Sample interview questions
How would you report a playback defect that occurs on a Smart TV streaming app?

I would record the exact device model and OS, app build, network context, content selected, and every step leading to the issue. I would describe the expected and actual result, note frequency and severity, and attach a screenshot or video where possible.

What would you check when testing navigation in a TV application?

I would verify remote-control focus behavior, directional navigation, selection actions, back behavior, screen transitions, and whether focus remains visible and predictable. I would also check that navigation works consistently across menus, content rows, dialogs, and error states.

How do you ensure that a bug is reproducible before submitting it?

I repeat the scenario using the same steps and document the conditions under which it occurs. If it is intermittent, I state the number of attempts, observed frequency, and any likely triggers rather than presenting it as consistently reproducible.

How would you prioritize an issue where the app crashes during login?

I would classify it as high severity because it blocks users from accessing the service. I would provide account state, login method, exact steps, error details, device information, and evidence to help the team investigate quickly.

What is your approach to following a predefined test case while still identifying unexpected issues?

I first complete every required step and capture the specified outcome accurately. Afterward, I use exploratory checks around the same feature—such as unusual navigation paths, repeated actions, or account-state changes—and report any clearly reproducible defects separately.
