I appeared for an interview in Nov 2024, where I was asked the following questions.
Methodologies are structured approaches to software development and testing, guiding teams in their processes and practices.
Agile: Focuses on iterative development and collaboration, e.g., Scrum and Kanban.
Waterfall: A linear approach where each phase must be completed before the next begins, e.g., requirements, design, implementation.
V-Model: An extension of Waterfall that emphasizes verification and validation at eac...
Smoke testing checks basic functionality, while sanity testing verifies specific functionalities after changes.
Smoke testing is a preliminary test to check the basic functionality of an application.
Sanity testing is performed after changes to ensure specific functionalities work as intended.
Example of smoke testing: Verifying that the application launches and the main features are accessible.
Example of sanity testing: ...
Manual testing involves human testers executing test cases, while performance testing evaluates system responsiveness and stability under load.
Manual testing is conducted by testers without automation tools, e.g., exploratory testing.
Performance testing assesses how a system performs under various conditions, e.g., load testing.
Manual testing focuses on finding bugs and ensuring functionality, e.g., UI testing.

I appeared for an interview in Jun 2025, where I was asked the following questions.
ArrayList offers fast access and is memory efficient, while LinkedList excels in insertions and deletions.
ArrayList allows O(1) access time, ideal for frequent retrievals (e.g., accessing elements by index).
LinkedList provides O(1) insertion/deletion at both ends, suitable for queue implementations.
ArrayList has lower memory overhead compared to LinkedList, which uses extra memory for pointers.
In scenarios with frequen...
Java's synchronized keyword offers simplicity for thread safety but can lead to performance issues and deadlocks.
Synchronized is easy to use and requires less code, making it suitable for simple scenarios.
It automatically releases the lock when the thread exits the synchronized block, reducing the risk of forgetting to unlock.
Performance can degrade with high contention, as threads may block each other, leading to incr...
== checks reference equality; .equals() checks value equality, can be overridden for custom comparison.
== compares memory addresses, while .equals() compares actual content.
Example: new String('hello') == new String('hello') returns false.
'hello'.equals('hello') returns true, as it compares values.
For wrapper classes like Integer, caching affects == behavior for small values (-128 to 127).
Override equals() when logical...
Java's garbage collector automatically manages memory, reclaiming space from unused objects through various algorithms.
Garbage collection in Java is automatic, freeing developers from manual memory management.
The JVM uses different GC algorithms: Serial, Parallel, CMS, and G1, each with unique characteristics.
Memory is divided into Young Generation (short-lived objects) and Old Generation (long-lived objects).
Minor GC ...
Lambda expressions enhance Java code by making it more concise, readable, and easier to maintain through functional programming.
Conciseness: Lambda expressions reduce boilerplate code. Example: Instead of writing an anonymous class for Runnable, use () -> System.out.println("Hello").
Readability: Code becomes more expressive. Example: Using lambdas with Collections: list.forEach(item -> System.out.println(item)).

Checked exceptions require handling; unchecked exceptions do not. Custom exceptions can be either based on use case.
Checked exceptions must be caught or declared (e.g., IOException, SQLException).
Unchecked exceptions do not require explicit handling (e.g., NullPointerException, ArithmeticException).
Checked exceptions enforce robust error handling but can clutter code.
Unchecked exceptions indicate programming errors tha...
The Java Memory Model defines thread interactions with memory, ensuring visibility and ordering in multithreaded environments.
JMM specifies how threads see shared variables and their updates.
Volatile keyword ensures visibility of changes across threads.
Synchronized blocks provide mutual exclusion and visibility guarantees.
Without synchronization, threads may read stale or inconsistent data.

Method overloading allows same method name with different parameters; overriding changes parent method behavior in subclasses.
Method Overloading: Same method name, different parameters (e.g., `int add(int a, int b)` and `double add(double a, double b)`)
Method Overriding: Subclass provides specific implementation of a parent method (e.g., `void sound()` in `Animal` class and `void sound()` in `Dog` class).
Overloading is...
Functional interfaces in Java enable concise lambda expressions for single abstract methods, enhancing API flexibility and usability.
A functional interface has exactly one abstract method, e.g., Runnable, Callable.
Lambda expressions provide a shorthand way to implement functional interfaces, e.g., () -> System.out.println("Hello World").
Functional interfaces can include multiple default or static methods, allowing f...
Java Streams enable functional operations on collections with lazy evaluation, differing from Iterators in several key aspects.
Streams support functional-style operations like filter(), map(), and reduce().
Example: stream.filter(x -> x > 10).map(x -> x * 2).collect(Collectors.toList());
Streams are not reusable; once consumed, they cannot be used again.
Iterators can be reset and reused, allowing for multiple tr...
Immutability in Java ensures objects cannot be changed after creation, enhancing thread safety and preventing unintended side effects.
Immutable objects cannot be modified after creation, e.g., String class.
Thread-safe by nature, as they prevent concurrent modification issues.
To create an immutable class, use final fields and avoid setters.
Collections can be made immutable using Collections.unmodifiableList().
Useful for...
final, finally, and finalize serve different purposes in Java: constants, cleanup, and garbage collection respectively.
final: Used to declare constants. Example: final int MAX_VALUE = 100;
final: Prevents method overriding. Example: final void display() {}
final: Prevents inheritance. Example: final class Constants {}
finally: Executes after try-catch for cleanup. Example: try { ... } catch { ... } finally { closeResource...
Singleton pattern ensures a class has only one instance, providing a global access point to it.
Private constructor prevents instantiation from outside the class.
Static instance variable holds the single instance of the class.
