Software Validation Interview Questions

2,514 software validation interview questions shared by candidates

The question vary. I was asked to solve the following riddle: 10 people were kidnapped by aliens. The aliens want to eat all 10 people, but they're saying that they don't eat highly intelligent species. To test they will give a hat colored white or black to each one of the kidnapped dudes. After that, the 10 people will stand one after another by height - the highest person will be the first and the shortest the last, that way that every one of them sees only ones, shorter than him. The number of black/white hats is random. They have 10 min to discuss the strategy and after that, one-by-one they have to guess the color of their own hat. They can't give clues to each over, they can't say anything but "black" or "white". They have to guess correctly at least 9 of 10, otherwise they'll be eaten.
