QUESTION 15 OF 30

What sort of documentation do you create when testing a software product?

You can anticipate a question about the type of documentation you use and produce in an interview for a test engineer role. The interviewer is interested in confirming that you know the typical types of documents used in this profession and that the documents you use align with their processes. The best way to answer this question is to be honest and describe the documents you've used in the past. These will very likely align with the organization's documentation requirements.

"I use a variety of different documentation before, during, and after software testing procedures. These include test policies and requirements which define testing procedures and acceptable outcomes, a test strategy to ensure I measure the appropriate elements of the product, a test plan and test case which define the test procedure, checklists, and reports of the test results, including summaries and bug reports."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

We use the sequence command in the PPMS multiview by which we can run the device for a long time. We can measure many response parameters like heat capacity, thermal conductivity, magnetoresistance, resistance in changing fields, pressure, temperature, etc.

Amanda's Feedback

It sounds like you have strong software testing experience. If you use any additional test documents including test policy, test strategy, test plan, test case, etc. it's appropriate to list that information to confirm that you strive to reduce or remove any uncertainties around testing activities.
