QA Coding Test Help
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I’m gearing up for an online coding assessment for an Associate Software Quality Assurance Engineer role and need focused guidance to sharpen two core areas: Writing test cases and deepening my Understanding algorithms in both C and C++.
What I’m after
I already work comfortably at an advanced algorithmic level, but I want to walk into the exam with well-practiced problem-solving patterns and clean, efficient code in C / C++. Alongside that, I need to refine my test-centric mindset—specifically:
• Designing test scenarios that cover edge cases and real-world usage
• Creating automated test scripts (preferably lightweight frameworks or even plain GoogleTest or Catch2 if you know them well)
• Honing Manual testing techniques so I can articulate why a given path is valuable even when automation exists
How you can help
Guide me through practice questions that resemble what usually appears in an SQA-focused coding test, review the solutions I draft, and point out optimisations or missing assertions. Walk me through structuring unit tests, integration checks, and simple automation harnesses, explaining trade-offs aloud so I learn the reasoning process, not just the end result.
Deliverables
1. A short set of practice problems with step-by-step algorithm discussions in C and C++.
2. Example test cases—manual and automated—for each problem, annotated to show why each one matters.
3. A review session (text write-up or recorded call notes) highlighting improvements and common pitfalls.
Clear, concise explanations that I can revisit later are essential. If this sounds like your wheelhouse, let’s get started right away so I can head into the assessment fully confident.
