Manual Testing Interview Question

I’m applying for a software tester position and I’m having trouble with a question that was asked in the interview. The question was “Describe a manual testing process you have used in the past.”

I’ve done some research on manual testing but I’m still not sure how to answer the question. Does anyone have any advice for me on how to properly answer this question? I’m also including the code I was working with so you can get an idea of the types of tests I was running:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{ 
 int num1, num2, sum;
 
 print("Enter two numbers to add\n");
 scanf("%d%d",&num1,&num2);
 
 sum = num1 + num2;
 
 print("Sum of the numbers = %d\n",sum);
 
 return 0;
}

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I think you’re going about it the right way. If you get asked something in an interview about a situation that you don’t have much experience in, then it’s okay to talk through how you would handle it. Potential employers want to see your thought processes & problem solving skills.
