SDE/T - What is it?!
When I say that my job title is Software Development Engineer in Test, it is not easy for many to relate to it and realize more about the day-to-day responsibilities. Not many companies have this specific role that focuses on test related development (Or even if they have, the title might be Software Developer or Software Engineer). Zoe's post on SDE/T explains in detail and very accurately about this role (required skill sets, career path etc.,). I wouldnt be surprised if many of the developers get passionate about this role and decide to apply for these openings (there are about 250 such openings in Microsoft's career page all the time). In addition to the regular white-board coding questions, one can expect follow-up questions on testing or questions focusing only on test aptitude in SDE/T interviews.
