IK’s back-end engineering program helped me learn helpful nuances in programming and understandthe fundamentals of system design. The instructors from FAANG companies were inspiring. The mock interviews are also very helpful to get exposed to interviewing experience.

Chun Wu

Senior Software Engineer
Placed at:
I joined iK after stumbling across it while reviewing some other interview prep materials after doing poorly in an interview at Linkedin. I knew that doing well in these interviews would require dedication and investment of my time - but with so many resources online I didn't have structure. This is what the IK platform provided me.

Shrey Shrivastava

The Interview Kickstart course is very structured and informative. They teach you about DS and algo fundamentals very thoroughly and also prepare you for the software engineering interview. I really like the live classes by FAANG engineers, and the homework and tests definitely help you toprepare for a real interview. If you have been looking for a bootcamp that prepares you for software engineering interviews, I would say this is definitely the right place to do it.

Sridhar Gandham

Senior Software Engineer
Placed at:
My experience at IK was extremely positive. I was preparing for FAANG companies using the standard techniques that you find on the internet. When I started preparing, there was no structure to the madness. For example, a simple quicksort can be implemented in multiple ways. So solving a medium problem would take me about 30 minutes. The biggest benefit that I got from IK was a clear, structured way of solving problems. After IK, I could solve medium problems in 10 minutes!

Akriti Bhatt

Software Engineer
Placed at:
Interview Kickstart is a great platform to perfect your basics and get a deep understanding of algorithms. These sessions helped me crack Google and several other companies.
Having struggled for a while to understand what I was doing wrong in interviews and how to behave during an interview, I took the help of 1-1 interview sessions with the mentors and the guidance provided by them helped me understand the problem with my approach.

Test Engineering Interview Process Outline

The interview process at FAANG+ and other Tier-1 companies for Test Engineering interviews varies for each company. However, the general structure for the software testing interview process is as follows:
  • Initial screening: Generally includes a coding round and a discussion of your past projects. These rounds also test your understanding and communication skills.
  • On-site (3-4 rounds): 1-2 general coding rounds, 1 domain round,  and a behavioral round. More details about the interview rounds

What to Expect at Test Engineering Interviews?

1
Initial technical screening
Expect a coding round and a discussion of your past projects. The coding questions are typically at an easy/medium level on Leetcode.  
2
On-site (3-4 rounds)
  • 1-2 general coding rounds: Generally includes two coding rounds, where the questions usually involve Arrays, Linked Lists, Sorting and Searching, Recursion, Trees, and Graphs. The difficulty level is generally easy/medium, but you should be ready for an occasional tough problem.
  • 1 domain round: This round revolves around the Test Engineering fundamentals. You may be asked to write test cases for a program or create a test plan for an application. It can also have questions on Test Engineering fundamentals like Automation Frameworks, API testing, performance testing, Agile testing, etc.
  • Behavioral round: Tests cultural fit and your collaboration, leadership, and communication skills.

Test Engineering Interview Questions

Interview questions are quite different for different types of Test Engineers, but they aim at the same goal: to ensure that the software application runs consistently and reliably with the least possible bugs. Take a look at these interview questions to gauge your software testing interview preparation. 
1
Senior Test Engineer Interview Questions on Coding
Want to assess how ready you are for your Test Engineering interview? Take a jab at these software testing interview questions on tech coding asked in tech Interviews:
For a given array of size N containing distinct integer numbers, write a code to sort the array in the wave fashion.
From a given array containing integer values, write a code to find the maximum subarray of non-negative numbers.
For a given String S, write a code to find the minimum number of elements or characters that need to be inserted to convert it into a palindrome.
For a given String S, write a program to find the length of the longest Substring with distinct values.
For a given String S, write a code to remove successive duplicate characters recursively.
For two strings, A and B, write a program to figure out if B can be obtained by rotating A in at least two places.
Write a code to reverse a Linked List from position X to position Y.
For a given Linked List, write a code to return the node value where the cycle in question begins.
For a given binary tree T, write a code to print the bottom view of the tree from left to right.
You're given the root of a binary tree T. Write a program to find out if it is a Binary Search Tree or not.
