Testing / PractiTest Interview Questions
Why would a team use Auto Filters instead of manually creating filters for every field value?
An Auto Filter automatically generates a sub-filter for every distinct value of a chosen field, rather than requiring someone to build one filter per value by hand.
- Saves setup time when a field like Component or Priority has many possible values
- Stays current automatically if new values are added to the underlying field later
- Supported for list, multi-list, linked-list fields, and milestones
Manually creating a filter for each value works fine for a small, stable set of options, but becomes tedious and error-prone as the number of values grows or changes over time, which is exactly what Auto Filters are meant to remove.
What does an Auto Filter generate automatically?
What happens if new values are added to a field an Auto Filter is based on?
