QA Interview Questions and Answers
QA interviews Often will be several rounds of interviews. My goal with this article is to help you prepare some of hot QA interview questions you might be asked, and also to give you an understanding of what kind of skills and abilities they’ll be looking for in an employee.
Normally the interviewer will be interested in two things: your abilities as a QA member and your approach to testing. Some QA interview questions will be open ended or seem vague. That is because they’re trying to get a sense of what kind of worker you are, and, more importantly, are you the kind of worker they are looking for and fit in their team.
