Hey everyone, this is Alex from USAIDAZE.

So we're gonna go through 10 questions, most common questions that are asked during QA interview.

So I actually have 50 of those questions and answers in one file.

In this video I'm gonna go through the first 10

and just read the notes at the end kind of to summarize how you can prepare better for the interview.

But if you want to access to all 50 questions

and answers i'm gonna add it into my patreon the link is in the description for the video

and the tier one starts with two dollars a month

so it will be under the very first tier quality cadets so

and obviously going to be accessible to all other patrons here

it will be just a downloadable pdf files we have all the questions

and answers so let's go through the 10 first questions answers in this video okay

so this is actually my patreon page

and it's alexusa days again you can find it in the description for this video

so the questions

and answers going to be available right here with quality cadets was the very first year the whole 50 questions

and answers for the interview preparation all right for this video let's go ahead with the first 10 questions uh

so question number one and it's very often asked tell me about yourself

so it's expected that you're gonna generally kind of talk about you

uh the qa experience why well

so kind of to start the conversation to see you know

how well you're adequate you know how are you gonna fit

or not normally you just want to say

that i'm passionate about quality assurance

and i'm eager to explore new opportunities in the field i've worked as a q engineer both part -time

and full -time or either one or maybe you did qa freelance

and i'm dedicated to continuous learning and improvement

so it's just kind of a general introduction kind of sanity

check right uh second question why are you looking for a new opportunity this is not a sanity check to see

if you're going to be a good fit like what is

the real reason why you're looking for a new job

if you like got fired or anything like

that again very general question you want to provide like very

general answer uh you want to say my current role lacks gross opportunities

and my qa contract is ending without an extension or something to

that sort so maybe you're just looking for new opportunities

or your contract is expired there's no extension i'm actively seeking

a company where i can continue to enhance my skills and contribute to quality software development.

Then one of the questions they might ask why us?

So why our company?

Normally you want to say something good about the industry, that you're involved in the industry, you're familiar with the industry, you're interested in it.

So I would answer that I have a genuine interest in your products

and have thoroughly researched your company's mission and culture on your website.

It aligns with my values and I believe I can make meaningful contribution here.

all right another thing that is normally asked like where do you see yourself in five years

this is a question

that could be a little bit tricky for some people they think okay you know I start as QA engineer

and then I'm going to be a developer or I'm going to be a QA manager

don't really go there what is most of the time is expected from this question

if you're committed to the QA field if you're going to work in the QA field.

So something in terms of, you know, I'm still going to work as a QA, just going to grow my experience as a QA engineer is totally accepted response.

So I would say in five years, I envisioned myself as a senior QA engineer with an expanded skill set.

I'm committed to continuous growth in the field and contributing to the success of the company.

That's pretty much it.

Question number five, tell me about your debugging process

so my debugging process involves identifying the issue isolating the problem

and providing detailed information to the development team to reproduce the problem uh one of the approaches

that you might want to use when you're debugging something

if it's a complex issue you're going to break these issues

in the smaller parts until you kind of identify the root cause okay

why choose QA and what do you love about it

or in general why choose QA right so you can say

that I transitioned into full -time QA work after enjoying it as a part -time freelancer

so for example you worked on one of the web pages

that I provide in my video on how to get QA experience

so maybe like you worked at the you test you can

say I worked at you test as a part -time as a gig I really enjoyed it

and I decided to make it my full -time career right

What I love about QA is the analytical and problem -solving aspects.

It's like solving puzzles to ensure product quality.

I also like making an impact and improving product quality.

So it's always good if you contribute to something and you feel like you're making a difference.

Tell me about positive -negative testing.

So question number seven.

Positive testing checks if a system performs as expected under normal conditions,

while negative testing examines how the system handles unexpected or invalid inputs or conditions.

For example, a positive test case would be creating an account with expected password complexity.

So, you know, at least eight characters, one capital letter, like one special symbol, one number.

A negative test case would be creating an account with a password that does not match minimum character length.

So attempting to create an account that requires eight characters and a password, and you provide only seven, right?

That would be a negative guess.

Tell me about end -to -end testing.

So what is end -to -end testing, right?

End -to -end testing evaluates the entire system

or application by focusing on user scenarios to ensure all integrated components work together seamlessly.

For example, buying products on Amazon.

That would include login, product search, adding it to the card, successful checkout, and order confirmation.

Tell me about regression testing.

Regression testing involves retesting the existing functionality to ensure recent changes haven't introduced any new defects or affected existing features.

normally qa would be expected to build a comprehensive regression test suite

that would run on new deployments so something

that you go over to make sure

that all your critical functionality is still in place everything working as expected

and the last one that we're going to cover in the video tell me about your team

so you can say i have had privilege of working with diverse teams

and a value effective communication collaboration

and knowledge sharing to achieve common goals you can talk about your team composition

so how many qa engineers are there how many developers what

is your management like is there a qa lead is a

100

qa manager what is do you work with like product manager

101

or business analyst uh

102

if you're doing like qa freelance stuff you can say i'm the whole team is kind of on the freelance

103

and we're managed through this application and uh you know we get assigned tasks

104

and test cases we're looking for bugs

105

and test scenarios you have to run through

106

and you can mention like sort of products that you actually worked on

107

so it's just kind of general discussion of your experience in team composition to kind of see

108

if you know you you know what you're talking about all right

109

so this is the questions we covered in the video uh the rest 40 questions

110

so total 50 questions is going to be available in my

111

patreon the link in the description it's the same name as the channel

112

so alexusa days now let's go to the summary here

113

so for the summary I just wanted to note something

114

so one thing that I want you to remember is to be friendly

115

and smile during interview so go ahead and prepare yourself for the interview like

116

if you know that you get nervous if you feel

117

that okay you know I'm stressed out a little bit just go

118

and stay in front of a mirror

119

and say hi you know smile to yourself a little bit just feel kind of feel the positivity um

120

so it's going to help it's definitely going to help so

121

normally it's expected

122

that you know qa person is going to be a long

123

-term addition to the team to the culture to the process

124

so they want someone who will be a good fit uh who would be a positive if it contributed to the team, will be working well as a team.

125

So smiling definitely helps.

126

Now, you can practice in front of a mirror prior to the interview.

127

So no joke, just go ahead and practice.

128

Another thing that is important, if you do stress out a lot, like preparing to the interview process and you get worried during the interview,

129

try to somehow work that out.

130

I suggest just do meditation.

131

Spend 15 minutes before the actual interview, kind of meditate, relax, or do something that you find relaxing, kind of ease your mind.

132

It's going to help you with your communication.

133

It's going to help you with your soft skills.

134

It's going to help you to focus answering the questions.

135

And if you're going to be overly too nervous during the interview process, it's just going to might kill the vibe.

136

And team is not going to proceed with you just because you were just too stressed out during the interview.

137

So just take some time to actually ease and relax a little bit.

138

and the last thing but it's I think it's very important

139

because it can be like a determining question during the interview process.

140

You might get asked about the company.

141

So they're kind of deciding, okay, you look good.

142

Even if you go through the whole interview process and you answered everything good and technical side of all the terminologies, they'll ask you, so what do you think about our company?

143

What do you think about the product?

144

Do you like our mission?

145

Do you like our values? and if they'll see that you never actually went to their webpage, you didn't take time to read about the company,

146

you didn't take time to read about the product, you didn't spend time learning the values, the culture, just that might be like a big no because you didn't spend time.

147

The team will feel that you didn't spend enough effort figuring out what you're going to work on.

148

You didn't prepare yourself enough for the interview.

149

so make sure

150

when you go on an interview check the company's web page

151

read about the company what they do what their core values

152

if there's like a a special statement that they have out something

153

that they feel that's important so uh just be aware of it okay

154

so hopefully it is helpful this was alex you say days thanks for watching and bye bye

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
