Identity Theft Using Second Hand Hard Drives

For most people these days technology is almost a form of life, because after some old technology or no longer need to provide a welcome source of additional income.

There is no better illustration of the eBay auction site. But there are risks that can cause problems that cannot be solved using techniques Computer Forensics expert.

It is important to understand that just delete the information from computer hard drives do not always get rid of, remove only free up space so it can be overwritten by new data.

And as Computer Forensics experts can recover data when necessary so that the computer can also be well informed and increasingly sophisticated criminals.

One of the most common problems found by the staff of Computer Forensics is a problem of hard disk is not formatted properly and cleaned of all or part of previous data. Without proper handling of the hard drive, often sold on auction sites for a fraction of their original cost, can be remodeled, resulting in identity theft and therefore require the assistance of experts in the fight against computer crime.

This is of course not only the people who sell their equipment on the auction site, the companies also sell their unwanted equipment in hopes of making extra money and without considering the consequences of the hard drive is not sure they are properly cleaned.

Software Testing Interview Questions

I am not suggesting that these are the only questions that would be asked, but are some samples for consideration. These are questions that I have used when interviewing others:

1. How many test scripts can you write in a day?

I am looking here for the ability to estimate. Whilst in reality the question is impractical, because it depends on so many different factors, I want to see the interviewee come up with some kind of answer. When estimating, there is a need to make assumptions and having a ball park figure enables someone to provide rough estimates more quickly.

2. How many test scripts can you execute in a day?

This is a repetition of the first question. I normally ask one directly after the other. The more junior resources tend to struggle with the first question and then the second also. The better resources learn from the experience of the first question and respond in a more positive manner to the second. Now I am not only looking at the ability to estimate, but also the ability to learn and an indication of the resources chances of seniority going forward.

3. Do you see testing as a service or a discipline?

Personally I am quite passionate about this one. I very much see testing as a discipline and a part of the software life-cycle that is as important as analysis, design and development. What I am trying to understand is the background that the individual someone has come from. Consultancy can demand one or other mindset and someone coming from either background can adapt, but I would suggest it is easier to revert from discipline to service than vice versa.

4. What is the most interesting defect you have found?

This is a passion question. I am looking to see if the individual can recount a particular incident and in what degree of detail. This begins to tell me whether they are a career tester or someone who is doing a job.

5. What are the key components of a test script?
