Once a test case has been created, it can be repurposed to test similar products for similar problems. This makes the work of a test engineer more effective and drives consistency within the testing process. Interviewers at Microsoft are interested in both of these outcomes. Answering this question appropriately will demonstrate that you're qualified for this role at Microsoft.

"There are several different test cases I've developed that I could recreate for the mobile applications Microsoft develops. These address issues which can occur in several different categories. The test cases I've developed include functional testing, compatibility testing, usability testing, security testing, and recoverability testing. These test cases can be easily adapted for any product that I am working with."
