Technical Interview Preparation Guide

Suggested content to be reviewed for the interview:


 List, Set, Map
 List implementations: ArrayList, LinkedList
 Set implementations: HashSet, LinkedHashSet, TreeSet
 Map implementations: HashMap, LinkedHashMap, TreeMap
 equals and hashcode methods overriding
 Collections utility class (sort methods)
 Comparable and Comparator
 Lambdas
 Design Patterns: Singleton, Factory, Factory Method, Strategy
 JUnit testing framework
 Algorithms: round robin (expected by client), insertion, sorting. (?)

Before the interview:


 Prepare the IDE: choose the one you are more confident to work with
 Check JDK 8+ is installed and working
 Check Maven (or other lib manager) is working
 Check JUnit is working
Suggestion: create a simple project, create a class, create a method, set JUnit
dependencies, create a test method and run it successfully (green)

Tips for testing methods:


 Understand the JUnit framework basic annotations: @Test, @BeforeEach,
@BeforeAll, @AfterEach, @AfterAll
 Understand the JUnit framework basic assertions: assertEquals, assertTrue,
assertFalse
 Test methods must work independently from running order
 Test methods cannot depend on each other to success
 Test fail cases (empty collections for example)
 Test boundaries (full collection, one more, one less)
 Don’t test the platform (new Object() != null)
