Answer / Hariom Tiwari

To explain a Cognos project in an interview, focus on the following points:

1. The business problem or objective you were trying to address.
2. Your role in the project (designer, developer, administrator).
3. The data sources and tools used for the project (Cognos BI, Cognos TM1, etc.).
4. The key features of the project such as reports, dashboards, scorecards, and analytics.
5. Any challenges faced during the project and how they were overcome.
6. The results or benefits achieved by implementing the project.
7. Your contributions to the project's success.

Regarding testing in Cognos after creating reports, you can:

1. Validate the report design and layout for correctness and readability.
2. Check the data accuracy and completeness using sample data or actual data (if available).
3. Perform unit testing on each individual query or component of the report.
4. Conduct functional testing to ensure that the report behaves as expected under various conditions (filters, parameters, drill-downs, etc.).
5. Test the performance and scalability of the report, especially when dealing with large data sets.
6. Collaborate with stakeholders to gather feedback and make necessary improvements.
