The interview consisted of 2 rounds :

Technical and HR.

The technical round, which lasted approximately 40 minutes, was conducted on the Elevator platform. The major questions were scenarios based on scripting and a few others from the analysis.

The HR round was a telephone round that mainly involved salary discussions.

The sad part is that it’s been two months since we had the final salary discussion, but I’m still awaiting the offer letter.

Questions

• How can we get the response times of every single request in a script: Using a web diagnostics graph in LRA
• Functions in Loadrunner
• If we have a scenario where we upload and download a document, how will we proceed with the scripting for it?
• Correlation types
