"This is another Fermi problem — an estimation or approximation problem with limited information and back-of-the-envelope calculations. There's no right answer: interviewers want to understand how you think and how well you can explain your reasoning, rather than what you already know.
Recall the formula for Fermi problems:
Ask clarifying questions
Catalog what you know
Make equation(s)
Think about edge cases to add to equation
**Breakdown components of your"

"What is your experience with user testing?
All products/feature I have worked on B2C space is primarily testing users for a hypothesis.
