So you’ve just completed your certification course as a bonafide QA Engineer and finished refining your job-winning resume. Now you’re ready to enter the QA job market and land your first job! And then it happens. The most anxiety-inducing part of the process — the interview.
We’ve all been there. That “make or break” moment where everything you have been preparing for all boils down to a single conversation. But as they say, “success occurs when opportunity meets preparation”. So here are interview questions QA engineer applicants should prepare for.

Chances are only a small percentage of those questions will actually pop up. So here are the top questions and general preparations you should take into account before your interview.
