Offline sync conflict

Scenario

Your interview prompt

A task app supports offline editing. A user edits a task title and due date offline while another user changes the same task on the server. When the device reconnects, the app must detect conflicts and help the user resolve them without losing data.

What would you test?

List flows, risks, edge cases, data conditions, UX, security, API/backend, and performance concerns.

Tip: a stronger answer usually mixes happy path, negative cases, state changes, data, backend, UX, accessibility, and risk.
