Who Joins the Scrum Calls

Interview Answer

"In our Scrum meetings, the Scrum Master, Product Owner, Developers, and Testers actively participate. Depending on the meeting type, stakeholders and Business Analysts are also involved."

Scrum Master

Responsibilities include:

  • Facilitating Scrum Meetings
  • Removing Team Blockers

Product Owner

Responsibilities include:

  • Representing Business Requirements
  • Clarifying User Stories
  • Prioritizing the Product Backlog

Developers & Testers

Responsibilities include:

  • Developing Sprint Features
  • Validating Sprint Deliverables

Stakeholders & Business Analysts

May participate depending on the meeting type.

When You Start Writing Test Cases

Test cases are prepared during the Test Design phase of the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC).

They are written after:

  • Requirement Analysis
  • Requirement Design

Test cases are completed before development finishes so that testing can begin immediately when builds become available.

Project Duration & Team Size

Project Duration

Interview Answer

"The duration of my project was [X] months, and I was actively involved in [Y] months of testing. We followed the Agile methodology and executed testing activities in every sprint."

For short-term projects, this may represent:

  • Six-month Agile Project
  • Bi-weekly Sprints
  • Continuous Testing

Team Size

Interview Answer

"We had a QA team of [X] testers and [Y] developers, including manual, automation, and performance testers, working in an Agile environment."

The team collaborated closely with:

  • Developers
  • Business Analysts
  • Product Owner

Smaller projects may include a QA team of three to five testers.

How Many Bugs You Found

Interview Answer

"I found and reported over [X] defects. In each sprint, I logged around 15–25 bugs, covering functional, UI, security, and performance defects. Major issues included login failures, payment gateway errors, and database inconsistencies."

The actual number of defects depends on:

  • Module Complexity
  • Sprint Scope
  • Business Changes

What Happens When the Client Changes Requirements?

Interview Answer

"When the client changes requirements, we first assess the impact on the application. The Business Analyst and Development Team analyze feasibility, while QA updates test cases and automation scripts. If required, the changes are planned in the next sprint or implemented through a Change Request (CR). Finally, regression testing is performed before deployment to ensure application stability."

Requirement Change Process

  1. Impact Analysis
  2. Feasibility Discussion
  3. Test Case Update
  4. Automation Script Update
  5. Change Request or Sprint Planning
  6. Regression Testing
  7. Deployment
