Level Remarks TC REMARKS
Understand the problem and Knowledge
find optimized solution. Build a
plan and understand time
limit.
Application
Need to convince others that Synthesis
you have good solutions. Use
Logical structure to validate
the test scenarios.
OK
Understand the building blocks Application
of the system. In short, What
the System do? What would be
the input? What's the output?
Who are the end users?

Knowledge
Learn technical overview of Comprehension and Application
the system. Understanding
Trade off between different
technology stacks. Which
TechStack chosen? Why? Flow
charts, Flow diagrams, Input
and Output Criteria.
OK
No compromise of product Comprehension and Evaluate
quality. Code quality should be
maintained. Unit test cases,
Integration test cases, End-To-
End test cases should be
convered as a part of
evaluation.
OK
Single Product does have Comprehension and Application
multiple deployment
environments as well as it has
to be developed in terms of
series of modules for proper
testing. Developer, testers
should manage their
respective environments. Best
practices to work on Version
Control Systems while working
on Large Projects with team
collaborations. Deployment of
the Tested application on
various servers like Apache,
nginx, Linux servers and their
shell scripting for configuration
as well as security.

OK
Product should be highly Synthesis
available for the end users
hence to understand the need
of regular updations, usage of
latest features for more user
friendly product deployment
and availability of the data in
consistent state. Best practices
should be followed while
maininting performance for
e.g. Efficient use of variables
and constants, Enhanced
Looping Concepts, Regular
Expressions, Exception
Handling, Collections and
Stream API Network Caching
mechanism, Mobile
Friendliness, Database
Management and Performance
Tuning etc. Security is the
biggest concern. Hence your
product should be security
compliant as per domain.
