Hi,
I attended an interview recently.
I was asked the following question
Assuming that I am Test Manager.
There are 20 resources out of which
12 are manual testers,
5 automation testers and
3 performance testers.
There are a bunch of projects to be tested in the
organisation, the projects belong to various technologies,
say
20% of projects in Java,
20% of projects in SAP,
30% of projects in .NET,
30% of projects in C#
What is your approach as Test Manager in testing?
Pls let me know your approach on this.

I would agree with some of the comments made by friends in the trail.
As a black box tester one should not bother about technology in detail, his focus should be on functional behaviour.
To answer above question;
1. All projects would need manual effort so assign resources based on thumb rule of project management TIME, COST & SCOPE There is not fixed distribution of resources.
2. Assign automation if its a long term project and regular releases and regression is required. Also look at the budget for automation exists
3. Performance is something, which has become implicit for all projects now a days. If not extensive but basic performance counters needs to be validated before making it to production. Again pick up thumb rule to assign resources. For ex: Lets say C# project is desktop application and users are limited to access and rest applications are user heavy so prioritize those first, then think about SCOPE, then TIME & then COST (assuming COST is accounted as performance requirement is implicit)
