The questions posted by hiring manager Why ypu left xxx I answered it is due to mismatched expectation. Then the other rude interviewer repeat the same question again. Then i answered as i shared earlier, if my expectation isnt meet, then it is time for me to leave. The rude interviewer continue saying Oh ya so this xxx is such a bad company right. I got triggered and answered I do not think xxx is a bad organisation, in fact the people and my current manager is a nice person to work with. Then i posted a simple question to them and ended the session quickly.

How do you prioritize test cases when you have limited time? "When time is limited, I prioritize test cases based on risk, business impact, and critical functionality. First, I focus on high-risk areas that are most prone to defects and have the highest impact on the application's core functionality. Next, I consider business-critical scenarios that directly affect users. I also prioritize regression test cases for key features to ensure that no existing functionality is broken. If necessary, I use techniques like equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis to maximize test coverage efficiently. Additionally, I collaborate with developers and stakeholders to align priorities and ensure the most critical aspects are tested first."
