      Senior Tester Interview

      21 Jul 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Bengaluru
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Arcot Systems (Bengaluru) in Jul 2010

      Interview

      The interview process was quick and no-nonsense. I had three interview rounds. The first round was with my manager-to-be, who mostly focused on the technical skills relevant to the job. A few standard ("How would you move Mount Fuji") puzzles were thrown added for lagniappe. The second and third rounds were taken by senior QA managers, who mostly focused on testing strategies, and the ability to identify test scenarios/ test cases for a given product, network topology, or product architecture. These last two rounds were rather high-level probes into breadth of testing knowledge, and weren't deep.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      what are pyc files? if they provide speedup, how do they do that? is "pyc" like bytecode of java? in other words, are python source files compiled to an intermediate representation that can run on any platform, similar to java? (yes, it is!) any idea what pyc can speedup? how does it achieve this speedup?
