I just need some guide since I'll be doing my interview in 4 days for a game company that deals primarily with ps3 and xbox360 games, the position is entitled "Build Test Engineer" which is somewhat of a entry level (new grad) type job. The requirements of this position includes building codes/assets as well as functional verification of compiled code. The interview will consist of a short "programming test" section and I was just wondering what type of things would they be testing me?

What should I know for this position? Part of the requirements says "Running build automation scripts", can anyone shed some light on me on this topic? My understanding of C++ programming only goes as far as using GCC or MS Visual C++, using the Make or build commands.

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
