How would you build a test strategy for a new payment service from scratch?

~10 min by voice

How to approach it

They're checking whether the candidate builds a strategy from risks rather than from a list of features: whether they understand the specifics of money (double charges, lost payments), external providers and regulation. They also look at whether the candidate can connect test levels, fault tolerance, reconciliation, CI gates and production monitoring into one system.
