Sample Answer
On a recent release of our onboarding flow, we had a pattern where the same types of bugs kept resurfacing every sprint. I pulled defect data from the last three releases and categorized about 120 bugs. Roughly 40% were regressions in the same five areas. Instead of just filing more tickets, I proposed restructuring our regression suite and adding risk-based coverage. I led a small group of three QA engineers to rewrite around 60 high-value test cases, convert the top 25 into automated checks, and introduce a simple checklist for bug report quality (screenshots, logs, repro video). Within two release cycles, our regression leak rate dropped by about 35%, and duplicate bugs went down by roughly 50%. Cycle time for regression shrank from three days to about two, which let the team add one extra exploratory test session per release.

Based on your hydrology and irrigation engineering background, explain how you would estimate the irrigation water requirement for a kharif crop in a semi-arid region of Gujarat.
