QUESTION 11 OF 30

How do you help the systems support team troubleshoot an application that has crashed?

While it is not the primary responsibility of an application analyst to resolve issues with applications once they have been put into production, you may be called upon to assist the systems support team. The interviewer is interested in how you would do this and what contributions you can make to the organization outside of your normal duties. You can briefly describe how you would do this, the benefits you would bring to the organization, and possibly provide an example of how you've done it in the past.

"My primary responsibility as an application analyst is to analyze perspective applications the organization is considering implementing and make recommendations regarding their suitability. This provides may a great deal of in-depth knowledge about the application. The system support team frequently calls on me to consult with them if an application fails or isn't performing per the specifications. I'm more than happy to do this for two reasons. The first is it helps the organization get the application back into production as quickly as possible. The second is that I learn even more about the application, possible flaws I overlooked, and ways to remediate these. This type of work adds to my body of knowledge and my expertise in this field."
