A developer closed your bug as "works as intended", but you're sure it's a defect. What would you do?

~4 min by voice

How to approach it

The interviewer checks whether a tester can resolve a dispute about a defect through facts and process rather than emotions: rely on the requirements, come to an agreement with the developer, bring in the requirements owner as an arbiter, and argue based on the impact on users and the business.
