A coding trick which pops up surprisingly often in Microsoft hiring interviews is the XOR swap trick. I wasn’t going to write it up, but recently I mentioned this trick in passing to a buddy of mine who has been a top-tier developer at Microsoft for almost 10 years, and to my surprise, he had not seen the trick before. Anyway, it goes like this. Suppose you want to swap the values in two integer-based variables. The usual, CS 101, technique is:
int a = 5;
int b = 7;
int temp;
temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;

One of the most common types of interview questions at Microsoft for software testers is, “How would you this test function?” Where, of course, “this function” is a specific function. Let’s look at an example. Suppose the “this function” has a signature of
int numUpper(const char *s)
and you’re told only that the function returns the number of upper case characters in string s. Well, after you qualify the question a bit to make sure you understand what you’re trying to test, the first thing you’d want to talk about is (more…)
