6 questions

Answer out loud first, then open the guide. Most people read the guide too early.

  1. 1

    A customer says money left their account but the beneficiary has not received it. What do you test and what do you check in production?

    hardPayments

    A strong answer covers

    Transaction states, reversal and retry rules, reconciliation between ledger and network, timeouts, idempotency, notification, and an audit trail to explain each state.

  2. 2

    How do you prove that debits equal credits after a complex batch?

    hardLedger

    A strong answer covers

    Independent reconciliation query or report, control totals, rerun safety, rounding rules, and checks on every account touched, not a sample only.

  3. 3

    What evidence does an auditor expect from your testing?

    mediumCompliance

    A strong answer covers

    Traceability from requirement to test to result, approvals, environment and build identifiers, defect history, and retained logs. Evidence is created while testing, not afterwards.

  4. 4

    You need production-like data for a test. What are the rules?

    mediumData

    A strong answer covers

    No real customer data in lower environments unless masked under policy, referential integrity kept after masking, synthetic data for edge cases, and access logged.

  5. 5

    How do you test an open-banking style consent API?

    mediumAPI testing

    A strong answer covers

    Consent scope, expiry and revoke, token and permission checks, rate limits, error codes, and that revoked consent stops data access immediately.

  6. 6

    A downstream core-banking system is slow. What should the customer-facing journey do and how do you test it?

    hardResilience

    A strong answer covers

    Timeouts, circuit breaker, clear user messaging, no duplicate submission, safe retry, and tests that inject latency and failure.
