    Hi Pankaj,


    As far as I understand, you are going to use these questions when interviewing candidates for QA positions in your organization, right?


    If yes, I'd suggest changing or, perhaps, removing some questions. In my opinion, the main point is that candidates understand the basic concepts and have some experience in using TestComplete. It's acceptable if they are unable to recall some minor details (you know, during interviews, this can happen due to various reasons, e.g. some people may be too nervous). So, I'd suggest changing or removing specific questions on using the Randomize, EOL and other scripting functions, "Stop Recording" shortcut, or about the latest TC version and new features in it. It's easy to find this information in TestComplete help, UI or on the web site at any time.


    The questions on basic concepts like "how would you resolve the 'object not found' error" look very good. Perhaps, you may use more questions of this type.


    Also, I'd rephrase some questions and precise the used terms. E.g. "Write a script to launch google using wait method?" Wait methods don't launch anything. Most likely, you want a script that will launch a google page and wait until it loads. One more example: "How wImage function works in testcomplete?" wImage is a property, not a method (function). Finally, "3. How to create name mapping file for objects?", I think, you want to ask something like "How do you map objects in TC?", not how to add a name mapping node (file) to the project tree...


    Anyhow, these are just my thoughts that can be wrong or not acceptable to you. The decision is up to you. :-)

    I wouldn't place too much emphasis on the latest TC version and what it contains either.  I moved from a shop using scripting and TestComplete 5x to keyword tests and TestComplete 8x (now 9x) without any problems.
