3,924 software qa automation engineer interview questions shared by candidates

In total, there were 4 questions. The first question was to create a function with node tree traversals in a binary search (never once had to use this in 15 years of designing complex automation systems on both front-end and back-end). But whatever, I used recursive calls for this and all the unit tests passed, which guarantees that I got this question correct. Another question they chose was to create a function that reads specific text from a webpage through an API. This is relatively straightforward because I've done this many times. However, the hackerrank directions never once specified which http request/response library to utilize for this. I tried using the most basic/standard HttpURLConnection for this with the correct imports, but the Hackerrank console wouldn't even recognize it. I wrote it that way anyways, which I know for a fact works just fine in every Java 8+. They probably counted that as "wrong", even though it wasn't. The remaining 2 questions had absolutely nothing to do coding or testing. They asked about some foreign programming styles that I never heard of in my life. If you're a full-time developer with 10+ years of experience under your belt, I'm willing to bet that you wouldn't have known what they were asking about. After some googling, I found the answers, which I know for a fact were correct. So in the end, I got 3/4 questions correct (or 4/4 if you count the 2nd question that I know for a fact was correct, but the console couldn't import/interpret).
