Software Testing Interview Questions

Software testers are responsible for identifying defects in software products and therefore must be well-versed in computer programming. Employers look for candidates who can learn quickly and communicate effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences. Expect to answer a lot of coding questions as well as a brainteaser to test your ability to think outside the box.

Write the algorithm for this: If you have a string aaabbc the output should be a3b2c1, for the string aabcc the output should be a2b1c2 and so on. You should not allocate memory for a new string and you can do this only by reading each character once. Ps: if the result is bigger than the original string (like abc -> a1b1c1) just return null or some message that makes that clear.
