Software Quality Control Question:

Tell me about any quality efforts you have overseen or implemented. Describe some of the challenges you faced and how you overcame them.
How do you deal with environments that are hostile to quality change efforts?
In general, how do you see automation fitting into the overall process of testing?
How do you promote the concept of phase containment and defect prevention?
If you come onboard, give me a general idea of what your first overall tasks will be as far as starting a quality effort.
What kinds of testing have you done?
Have you ever created a test plan?
Have you ever written test cases or did you just execute those written by others?
What did your base your test cases?
You are the test manager starting on system testing. The development team says that due to a change in the requirements, they will be able to deliver the system for SQA 5 days past the deadline. You cannot change the resources (work hours, days, or test tools). What steps will you take to be able to finish the testing in time?
