Re:Ask HN: Test Engineer Interview on Monday August 27, 2018 @10:44AM (#17851780)
Test Engineer is a broad term. I would look at the job description and prepare accordingly. Here are some things you should look into: - Types of testing: white/black box, functional vs non-functional, API testing, browser-based testing - If you are asked to write test points for a function/form etc. make sure you cover positive, negative, edge cases, upper/lower limit etc.

Good luck!
