Five Frogs Sitting on a Log


One of my favourite questions when I evaluate testers for my organization goes like this:

There are five frogs sitting on a log. Four of them decide to jump off the log. How many would be remaining on the log.

Before we talk about the answer, let me put some thoughts on this question. As a tester, we come across multiple documents such as requirements, change requests, checklists, test plan, test cases, test reports etc. Few of these documents come to you for review and action; few others are generated by you. You must understand the documents well, weeding out all the ambiguities and assumptions. When you produce some document, it should be done with diligence and utter clarity, leaving no scope for any assumption.

Having said this, the question is custom made for testers. Isn't it?

Well, you must have got the answer by now.

No?

Ok. It is “Five”. Because they have decided, did not act yet. Right?
