Hi there!

Welcome to the Tester's Family channel.

This is the channel of two QA engineers who help in shape the world of quality.

In this video, we will cover a series of updated questions for quality engineers during the interview.

It will be shaped by AI, by new trends, so make sure you watch till the end

because some of the questions only related to the year of 2026 and even future year of 2027.

The quality engineering market is very different right now.

Even from the last year, even from the beginning of the 2026, it's totally different.

So make sure you align with new expectations from this role and we'll begin.

For those of you who do not know me, my name is Christina and I've been in quality assurance for over 10 years.

I have master's uh of business administration in information technology

and i also run my career agency so i'm a career coach

and i'm coaching people how to go through the interview process how to

pass the interview and get a job offer

so make sure to listen to my advice

because i've coached hundreds of people on how to pass an interview

and to be precise about my credentials i have a lot

and to be precise about my credentials i don't want to read it from the screen

but you guys see that i definitely have credibility to be here today with you

and talk about this topic i've interviewed myself over 100 different candidates for quality engineering roles

and i've been on career coaching

when i shaped around maybe 500 resumes towards the um you know job market for engineering

so I have a huge background I've seen a lot

so make sure you subscribe

and let's begin with our interview questions for this series I came up with 20 questions

and let's begin the most obvious one tell me about yourself answering this question changed a little bit

but still I follow the same trend we're making it down to three minutes only

but let's see how we divide those three minutes within your reply one minute you dedicate to your education

and experience background second minute you dedicate for your tax tech projects

you need to describe what technology you've been working on not everything for the past 10 years

but most important one for the role

and last minute you're talking about your interest in strengths where

do you see your skills will be most valuable what are your area of expertise you want to share

so be precise if you know some automation for your words

that you're like a guru

and you are definitely gonna help where you think organization wouldn't benefit from it make sure to mention

it another important thing you need to get

it straight to the point get straight to the point

you don't need any long essays about your not relevant experience

to the role just be precise on what is important

and let people choose what area they want to discover

and then please please no reading you can't imagine how stupid it looks

when you're reading because we people from the other side of the interviewing process we see

when you read we understand when you read especially especially

if English is not your first language

because it all shows the difference in your speed in your talking

so when you're reading you might be reading faster you have less emotions but

when you're speaking about your true experience you're more energized

you make more now you make more pauses in between sentences you think

but when you read it's a hundred percent visible especially

when today you guys use an AI for your answers please do not use any AI we can see

that we know when you reply with AI and it's

because it's more generic answer not specific to your experience not specific to your project even

if you configure you're like AI helper correctly still one question

and you're off

because people who suspect you're using AI

they're not gonna ask you questions technical questions

they will go deep into the specific of the projects into the specific of the issues

they will be you know diving

and digging deep inside to get those small small details

and they will start confusing AI that's what I do I'm asking very very very long questions

because when you ask AI five questions in the same in the same timeline it gets confused

and it might answer only first or last

or just not answer it at all so I know how to confuse AI

when I see the candidate using AI it's all possible

so just please be honest the best you can do for preparation

if you need to use your note

you have like piece of paper somewhere on your desk just have your notes

there sometimes periodically look them that's totally fine everyone does it

but please no reading okay and the last one create a map and guide through it what does it mean

when you're talking about yourself

when you're explaining your experience your text tag

you need to create a visual map for your interviewer to

walk through to navigate through it might look like this

so you're giving them an opportunity to explore any area of expertise

you want them to show basically your tell me your tell

me about yourself story should look like this you are in the center

and different directions like you did this you did

that you have experience in this technology you have experience in

that technology but overall you're giving them a menu to choose from

so they can explore different paths and that's how it looks and then after this interview

You will pick one of those paths that you presented and will go from there.

So you're going to give them a freedom, but a control freedom.

So you control what question they ask next based on what you have answered in tell me about yourself question.

Okay, let's go to the second one.

Describe your automation experience.

I would say that today automation is a number one priority i don't think there are few

or a lot manual positions there are definitely no manual position like clear manual positions uh

there may be some some positions

which does not involve automation in the standard way like we all used to think about

but it still involves some kind of of additional technical responsibilities like um something beyond regular testing

and you need to understand that today's 2026 ai already automated everything automating everything

so please think about your your future you

if you are in quality assurance if you are qa tester you have to

automate you have to know at least one automation framework it's a must

so let's talk about this question specifically

when you describe in your automation experience what's important to mention

important to mention total years of experience with automation automation framework changes

long time ago selenium was super nice and important and fancy then cyprus then playwright

100

so many different things and many different frameworks but it's important to mention

101

that you've been in this for a while because

102

if they have framework that you don't know

103

or you don't have experience with it's totally fine

104

if you have like six years of experience in automation

105

so most likely you will be able to catch up no matter what it is

106

so they will give you a chance

107

and most likely that's going to be fine but

108

if you have only one year of experience of one specific framework

109

they might think it's going to be a challenge for you to switch to a new framework

110

So always mention to your best abilities as much years as you can prove.

111

Then briefly describe the all stack and focus on the latest.

112

So when you describe in your automation experience, of course, you want to tailor to the role.

113

So if you're interviewing for the playwright role, you describe your playwright experience.

114

But mention that you also work with other frameworks.

115

If you're interviewing for Cypress position, describe your Cypress experience

116

if you have if not pick the one um framework

117

which will be closest to cyprus maybe like playwright

118

because selenium is different so include all related layers of testing

119

that you perform with automation what i mean by

120

that most of the people who come to interviews like oh yes we did automation

121

and then we ask what kind of automation like what layers

122

did you test with automation automation in general is a very powerful tool

123

you can automate everything today what exactly you've automated and sometimes interviewers they want to see that your step

124

you made some additional steps beyond only ui level layers

125

so you automated api you if you was able

126

and had ability you also could automated performance testing accessibility testing there are

127

so many different things how you can be involved with automation especially with new technologies

128

so include all layers that you've touched

129

and make sure you describe them how it helped organization

130

and of course align your answer with the role you're being interviewing it's important

131

because they don't need to know about stuff

132

that it's not relevant for them but

133

if you have it prove it show it to them they most likely accept you

134

if you have exactly what they need and and

135

if you already done exactly what they want to do question number three how do you leverage ai

136

of course in this series we have a question about ai why not it's number three every interview today

137

people are being asked about ai whether how they use

138

it for their own benefit within the organization for their projects you can avoid them today ai is something

139

that have stuck with us for a while and it's not going anywhere

140

because organizations invest too much money in this

141

and you have to bulletproof this idea for their stakeholders

142

and customers so i'm giving you some ideas of how potentially you can use

143

and leverage ai for your quality engineering role

144

and how you can talk about this on your interview it's a test case creation it's natural language to scripts

145

and that's automation scenario discovery so by this uh we're not even started automation

146

so you're just using regular chat gpt and clod

147

or copilot what is available for you even

148

if you never worked with ai within the organization like your

149

company never purchased never migrated to ai never had copilot it's fine you just talk about your experience

150

and what you can potentially use

151

and how you potentially be used like test case creation is easy you can provide like you can chat gpt

152

or cloud with a very good prompting experience you can achieve very good result

153

and like and also gap analysis so

154

when you're discovering your application what steps i've missed what are could be negative scenarios where this application might crash

155

so like some ai models when they can simply identify those um those areas then um natural language to scripts

156

Basically, this is your test cases that you wrote by yourself or with use of AI, you are migrating them into automation.

157

So basically, AI will write the tests for your scripts, for your automated scripts for you.

158

Then automated scenario discovery.

159

By this, I mean

160

that we're giving an AI agent an opportunity to go look at the page

161

and see what test cases we've missed and what other test cases we need to automate.

162

self -healing tests that's especially critical for flaky tests

163

i also talk about this flaky test it's a very big topic asked on every interview

164

and make sure you know how to handle flaky test automation

165

so then when we come specifically to automation how ai can help you with automation there are

166

so many things like

167

if you have copilot ai agent might be integrated in ide

168

you might have github copilot to review your prs uh to provide your suggestions uh

169

copilot github copilot also

170

and some um another ai agent might be part of ci cd pipeline cli to verify your flow

171

and that like uh software development life cycle is happening very nice

172

and smooth and with necessary tests running and with necessary uh checks

173

and pr reviews then code reviews very good for code reviews

174

and day -to -day repetitive tasks so that's anything anything

175

that you spend time on and you don't want to

176

and you can delegate to ai describe that so there's

177

so many things that you can describe how exactly you can leverage ai for testing

178

but don't say we never did it

179

or in my organization we never used ai no there's

180

so many opportunities how you can potentially use ai

181

so talk about this even if you've never done it you have you can get free

182

license of cloud of chat gpt practice by yourself practice create test cases practice to create automated tests

183

you can do it but just never say you never did it

184

because that's gonna be a red flag in 2026

185

and 2027 question number four imagine being the only qa engineer where would you start

186

so that's my favorite question

187

and what's important like what why i ask this question why this question is generally

188

so good because it can evaluate a real experience because

189

when you're just out of school or you completed them courses boot camp you don't have a lot of experience

190

you will have a little bit struggle answering this question

191

because this is the way how we think about our past experience

192

and past failures and our general work

193

so depending on the background

194

they give you they may give you some additional background to this question i highlighted important aspects

195

that you need to cover

196

while you're answering this question first of all define the point of contact

197

so you don't want to annoy your manager with any questions

198

and you don't want to ask for help every time you want something but there should be some peer colleague

199

like developer or business owner

200

or whoever who can who can be your point of contact to help you request any access

201

if you need in the future

202

and just be your you know colleague who can ask you any question

203

because you don't want to annoy your boss

204

because you want to be independent and self -sufficient

205

and you want to make sure

206

that you can handle the task by yourself with a little

207

assistance just where we need next environment setup for environment setup important

208

that you know that there should be maybe some certificates or licensing

209

or approvals anything software hardware be installed on your machine for your project work

210

it depending what the project you have so there are some prerequisites for

211

that work and then for automation whether like

212

if there is the only qa most likely there are no automation in organization

213

but maybe developers started some automation that's also the case

214

so check your point of contact ask around

215

if there's no automation

216

you need to confirm by the by somebody my manager most likely what the um technology what the technology stack

217

we will be using for automation and

218

if everyone is agree on the technology stack

219

that you choose then you go ahead

220

and you let's simply write your style you install your node .js your style install your vs code

221

so you prepare for everything you need

222

then requirement analysis of course you step in on the project you discover what the work they are doing

223

because there's nobody there from quality side it's important

224

that you cannot step in and show them that right now they have quality so right now things will start

225

be different perform your testing of course you are a quality engineer

226

there should be some testing besides all the fancy stuff like automation

227

and like project work and everything there should be actual testing

228

and that's like majority of your work but not with automation

229

so once you're fully in once you understand the application

230

and automation and the process then your testing going to take less time

231

and your automation initiatives will gonna take more time then documentation

232

so since you're the only one it's important that whatever you do you're documenting

233

think about that tomorrow they will hire another qa like

234

and now they're going to be two of you in a team

235

and they will drop everything on you to teach this person but

236

if you already have some documentation prepare about your test case analysis requirement analysis about automation

237

you can just hand this over to another qa and it's going to be perfect you will have a nice

238

qb that i said here qb is knowledge base knowledge base

239

that you can share without spending much time

240

and plus it's always good to build knowledge base for organization

241

because it gives visibility

242

and uh you can always like it's a very very good thing for organization in general

243

and take initiative to improve see your came to organization where's the only one qa they need to mention

244

that most likely developers are not testing completely

245

or they do not believe in testing

246

or they're closing tasks without properly validating all end points

247

so you can improve something in this we're going improve the process you can make new standard

248

and since right now you're the only one who basically providing the quality you're the boss on quality side

249

and nothing should ever slip through you so you come

250

and you take all right now i'm handling the quality i will be providing final sign off for this feature

251

if there's defects right now we consider them as a blockers

252

and we do not move on so you create better quality environment

253

and you enforce others to follow it it's not it might be not easy

254

when you knew but you need to be confident enough to talk about your expertise

255

and make sure and make sure people listen to you as an expert in quality assurance

256

so you are the one who is owning the quality that's important that's the general ideas what you can touch

257

so i'm not giving you an answer i'm giving

258

you a bullet point of what you can about what you can talk on this interview

259

because everyone experience in different some of you might find something

260

only like two out of this uh six bullet points

261

that you can talk about

262

but i'm giving you more ideas what you can also share

263

like the was the last one about initiative nobody talks about this nobody no never ever somebody tell me this

264

but it's important to know and i'm encouraging you to to say it

265

because that's really how it is when you're an experienced

266

and talented qa engineer and you come to the team

267

when there is no qa engineers at all and some

268

and it means there's no quality standards at all

269

and you're going to be the one who will establish this is very powerful role, very, very important and rewarding as well.

270

So everyone will see the changes just because of your actions.

271

So take this initiative.

272

And let's go to number five.

273

Give an example of an end -to -end test case.

274

Very, very interesting question because there are several components in this

275

and several ideas what are we generally considering end -to -end

276

tests um some people think about just the complete workflow um like from start to finish like person registered

277

and then go step step step step step

278

final transaction all done and um end -to -end flow

279

but on reality it's much more deeper than just the usual

280

visual representation of the flow very important to mention in this question is the integrated subsystem

281

that this flow touches and what part of this we are validating i mentioned here front end

282

so front end that's normally what people describe

283

when user you register we see these buttons goes to different pages click different buttons

284

and then we submit some kind of transaction

285

and then we validate the result or we validate the confirmation number

286

so that's front end but then we need back -end services we need to make sure that throughout this flow

287

specific api calls are made and values are returned

288

so not only going through page by page on ui layer

289

you also need to go on a back -end layer to validate those api responses again database

290

When transaction is submitted, you want to make sure the records are also visible in database.

291

Like it's very important that we touch that layer also.

292

If there's any external APIs, any third party vendors that take part in all this flow, everything should be validated.

293

So think about this when you are explaining an example of end -to -end flow it's so complex

294

that it's really hard to say it you like you visualize

295

it in your head like for me like how i visualize it it's a one straight line

296

and then like there are some dots some knots on this line

297

and from every knot they're like lying down

298

and then lying to another side so there's like a web

299

which comes from one single line because there's

300

so many connections interconnections coming from that one flow

301

and you want to mention that on every step

302

that you're making different actions are happening and you're validating them

303

if you click in the button services are running API calls are retrieving information

304

or sending information what's happening

305

when once you click a button it's not only UI it's more it's API it's database

306

so make sure you validate it properly and then talk about meaningful validations absolutely give an example

307

not just describe me a flow any flow like not just describe me what it is

308

but give me a real example

309

from the best example will be from your real experience where you know exactly every single call

310

that your application made so you can talk about this

311

when you get down to details

312

it actually make a lot of value from your for your interviewers to understand

313

it come on this guy is not lying he's not lying

314

he definitely working you can't imagine how many people lie on interview about their experience

315

so if you get down to details then you have more chances of nailing this interview you

316

and on this slide I'm giving you a real word example a e -commerce checkout

317

so here you see on the front end user login

318

and searches for a product super simple

319

and easy what happened on a back end

320

and database the item is added to the card inventory data is updated

321

and the discount code is verified

322

so this is all is being stored in a database

323

and you can verify it using some calls then third -party services

324

so this tribe is integrated as a payment system payment gateway so

325

we need to verify that the stripe process transaction correctly

326

and then completion we have database register the order

327

and confirmation email is triggered to the user

328

so see we're not only validating the ui layer

329

that goes as a part of this specific flow we have front -end ui back -end database third party

330

and even like email notification so there's like

331

so many things are happening i can't even explain

332

you the level of importance on all of these details myself

333

i think i failed one interview in the past just

334

because i was not able to explain exactly what is end -to -end flow i knew what it was

335

but i was not able to articulate it on this detailed level

336

and then feedback i got from from the hiring manager that they were not sure that i can do it

337

Of course, I could do it, but I was just not able to tell them about this.

338

So make sure now you do.

339

Learn from my mistakes.

340

Question number six.

341

Describe your automation framework.

342

So this question where we get to details about your automation framework.

343

Not only talking around technologies and what's the best for automation, but actually this question is testing your real experience,

344

hands -on experience working within IDE environment using your fingers to code actual tests

345

and when you're describing your automation framework what you need to do you need to describe the text tag behind

346

so whatever technologies you use whatever libraries you integrate it

347

and why you choose this sometimes you come to the project

348

and your organization already using why specifically

349

this technology why playwright why selenium why cypress why webdriver io why there should be a reason why

350

and if you don't know the reason you just can tell

351

that okay well a general organization they were already using

352

this for very long time they have all the legacy applications automated this way

353

so i was just contributing easy but if you know why the organization

354

or you pick this specific technology talk about benefits talk about simplicity talk about outcomes that you're getting

355

then describe the best practices every automation tool has its own pros and cons

356

and every automation tool has best practices like playwright is very different from selenium

357

and if we're talking about locators there is a specific type of locator

358

which you need to use on when you're using playwright

359

so you don't use ids and you don't use expasses on playwright

360

which for selenium this is primary locators on selenium

361

you are encouraged to use expass you are encouraged to use ids

362

but not for playwright

363

because for playwright it's a different best practices playwright locator should be user interface locator

364

and for selenium there is no such requirement

365

but for playwright it's considered to be the best you the best practices

366

so read about this

367

if you don't know best practices of your framework read about this that's very important then the structure

368

so the structure you need to walk them through about your

369

classes see what is your page object class your test class your config class utility class whatever

370

you have described it's important

371

and then what do you cover in your automation framework basically

372

what it does does it only validates UI does it validates API any other layers does it have a reporting

373

this car this discuss reporting how it's what results

374

it's posting where it's posting any additional third -party reports are using does it running on pipeline CI city anything

375

you can talk about your framework do it it's very nice

376

it's very good conversation it can lead you to any it can lead you to very good automation questions forward

377

but if you can also talk about flackiness love this topic very hard to answer correctly

378

but read about this make sure you read about this number seven

379

Do you have experience testing accessibility?

380

I love this topic.

381

Honestly, today if you never tested accessibility, please start.

382

Accessibility is very important topic for all the United States,

383

it's Canada, Australia, Europe, and some part of Asia.

384

Not all, but some part.

385

So it's only not...

386

popular in Africa, Asia, some part

387

Latin America but the majority of the world already following accessibility guidelines to make application digitally accessible for people with disabilities,

388

for people for those who has limited physical abilities, for people who have different you know like vision impairments so that's very very good topic,

389

very advanced topic and so far not many QA engineers really know how to test accessibility

390

so if you start today you

391

and advance yourself in this you will be very competitive on the market

392

so right now accessibility is a must learn please learn about this there are

393

so many ways how you can test accessibility

394

you can test ability manually on your using your keyboard

395

you can test ability using your mobile phone

396

you can test accessibility with the help of different automated scanners with the help of browser extensions there are

397

so many comment down below

398

if you think you don't know any chrome browser extension i can give you a url to view

399

that i've used personally and then learn about this generally how to learn about this

400

if you google section 508 or ada there is so much information

401

but honestly those regulations are reading there are

402

so long they're like thousands of thousands of pages there you can talk with ai

403

and ask ai to train you on accessibility come on like you can do it

404

but please start because these questions i see more

405

and more on quality engineering interviews

406

and make sure you at least know the basics at least you know what accessibility

407

because i know so many people some people they don't even know what it is

408

so please get up to speed with the market number eight what is shift left approach

409

so shift left approach means that we're moving tasks to the left it means all activities

410

that we used to do after development we are starting doing this prior development

411

or in the same time as development testing security quality assurance some validations accessibility performance

412

we now do not wait for code to be there written

413

and stable for us in order to do all those things

414

we do them right now we do them up front

415

and that's shift left what it means it means

416

you need to start testing prior developers submit the code it means you need to start writing test cases

417

and finding data prior developers submit the code.

418

You need to start automation prior developers submit the code.

419

It's a very important topic, but see, when finally developers submit the code, you just need to run your script,

420

update several locators and run your script.

421

Your automation will be 80 % complete.

422

Your accessibility testing will be 80 % complete everything will be almost done

423

and once developer drops the code it will take you a couple hours to get it complete

424

but it's going to be completed right now on a spot plus it's a validation of accessibility

425

and performance so we are moving everything to the earlier stage so we have more

426

we have better quality on the final product

427

and that's important what else are important here it's in sprint automation in spring animation happening as like

428

while developer is coding i already mentioned

429

that then tester testing is a joint effort

430

so this is the new way of treating quality on the teams

431

so now everyone testing developers are testing as well dpos are testing as well

432

and testers are testing as well but it's all more like a combined responsibility

433

quality is no longer responsibility of the quality assurance team it's now a joint responsibility

434

and then what it means generally to do shift left

435

it means we're gonna do a strong start it will take little longer than the regular approach

436

but on as a result we will get easy release

437

and we will get high quality gates

438

which what we expect number nine give us an example of a flaky test

439

and how to handle this honestly very difficult question

440

because many people fail to answer maybe people even fail to know what flaky means

441

so let's talk about this flaky test is the test which

442

doesn't pass

443

or fail regularly it kind of do both it means

444

this test case is very unstable it doesn't prove the health of the application

445

because it might fail right now

446

but it might pass in five minutes even though there's like

447

zero changes down to the application for the flaky test there are many many many reasons

448

and one of those is the uh performance

449

so like the page is loading slower at some period of times

450

so for this you need to make sure you use proper weights

451

or conditions or like you're preparing your automation to be stable no matter how long page is loading

452

or component is loading on a page another thing

453

that can be also here is sometimes we have flaky test on a pipeline

454

because when we're automating them locally everything looks good

455

but once we're meaning them on pipeline they're running on a cloud

456

and on a cloud it's a different environment and on

457

that environment like it's going to be happening differently

458

so there may be different setup

459

it might be might be a different browser running even though like playwright may be headless

460

but still there's like some other things that might be impacting

461

so we need to make sure whether it's instinct

462

and it's the same with what we have currently running on local also sometimes there's problem with dynamic elements.

463

So your task how to tackle flaky tasks is to first identify those tests which are failing but should not fail.

464

And there's rerun, after try, there's so many other things you can implement.

465

They're just a temporary solution but ideally you need to find and try to make those test cases more stable.

466

Sometimes it's a locator problem, sometimes it's a performance problem sometimes it's like pipeline problem

467

and environment configuration problem so there is many many options

468

that the reasons what can go wrong in those flag tests

469

and while you like in your answer you can describe it all will show you

470

that you have this experience you definitely understand

471

and you will be able to identify those tests and improve them

472

because the goal is not only to find them

473

but also try to make them stable all right

474

and number 10 how do you see your career growth considering future iet trends

475

and this is very important question because it's not only testing

476

your desire to improve yourself

477

but also curiosity how do you tackle today's challenges in it

478

was ai with it like what do you do do you adapt

479

or you give up do you complain or you improve

480

so like it's your general internal culture

481

that they want to test by asking this question

482

so your ideal answer will include keep up with current

483

and new solutions so whatever is on the market you just you don't necessarily need to learn it

484

but you need to explore it to understand what they're offering

485

and is there any benefit that it might provide then everyday automation everyday automation doesn't mean

486

that you have to automate every day it means everyday tasks

487

that we are doing repetitive routine if it can be automated try to automate it

488

so like eventually i hope every aspect of our life

489

which is like boring

490

and doesn't require our attention will be automated i hope one day my um cleaning

491

and cooking will be automated in home i'm really hoping so

492

because see right now dish washing is kind of automated

493

you can press it up your dishwasher to run on schedule

494

you can have your room by vacuum run on schedule many things like even cat litters already automatic

495

and clean and clean kitty poop on schedule there's

496

so many things already in this world and i think where when we're moving towards the future

497

everyday automation will be happening more and more and more in our life

498

and it's important i think it's important we don't resist this

499

but that's my personal opinion but it's definitely organizations will definitely using it

500

because if they can save money or something they will save money

501

and it's important whether you helping it or you restrain it

502

so i would suggest you will be helping it

503

and be the one who will be on the same boat than the one who will be left out just

504

because you don't understand the future trends just think about this it's not necessarily true that's my personal opinion

505

but that's my channel it's our channel so can say whatever i want here

506

but hopefully this makes sense for you but maybe some thoughts

507

that will configure in your mind for future reflection um strong expertise in the niche zones

508

so by this i'm talking about don't try to learn everything find your niche find the zone

509

that you want to be expert for example i love accessibility like i feel myself expert in accessibility testing i

510

am not strong in performance absolutely not but

511

if we're talking accessibility i can talk about accessibility forever

512

i can go to forums to i can go to different conferences about accessibility testing i love this topic

513

and that's my expertise and i'm expert in this

514

so that's my niche i think it's important niche then explore more beyond regular ui api testing

515

because right now quality engineering role is being redesigned it's being rethought

516

it's transforming as you can see nobody really wants

517

you to test only test right now they want you to automate

518

they want you to create documentation they want you to do this

519

and do that and many organizations are trying to combine quality overall into one big piece

520

which means there's like government compliance analytics like including google analytics

521

page optimization like a lot of stuff will be happening

522

which will be quality

523

because before quality it means perfect flow no defects no blockers nice now quality means

524

that people can find

525

you there is a ui ux people can enjoy the ease of use people can uh

526

you know reach out to you accessibility people with uh some uh visual problems can see the contrast the zooming

527

there's like so much more right now than just scrolling the page

528

and clicking buttons technology is evolving and you should do the same with your skills

529

and expertise and that's why self -education is important take time schedule two hours a week for self -education

530

which will just build up your skills to catch up with current technologies

531

and take initiative please take initiative in general

532

so I give you a lot of different advice here in this question

533

but basically when you see this question what you should do you should talk about

534

that you will be keeping up with the current solutions

535

you will try to automate in your workload as much as

536

you can to you know to release yourselves from routine tasks you will try to become strong

537

and expert in one specific niche

538

that one say the one you like then you're gonna then you're gonna step up

539

and you're gonna take more responsibility on different areas of testing

540

including the ownership of the app not only the ui level

541

but all overall the governance compliance accessibility performance you can do

542

that that's not that's not difficult but it requires a lot of effort

543

and learning and then you're going to be self -educating yourself taking courses

544

and of course taking initiative to grow to take more challenges to take more challenging projects

545

and generally pushing yourself up to a new standard every opportunity you can

546

so that's how you're basically can stage in your um answer for this amazing question

547

we covered 10 questions today i know in the beginning i told you 20

548

but it's already a very long video

549

so i will be releasing another video where i will cover

550

other 10 questions related to the new technologies in quality assurance

551

and how to answer those interview questions

552

so subscribe for our channel make sure you subscribe for our instagram

553

and tick tock it's everywhere it says the testers family i don't even think

554

that this name is relevant anymore

555

because we are not testers anymore we're more like engineers leads

556

and architects but i like the simplicity of us being the testers family

557

and that's a very long um photo very old photo maybe like four years ago

558

but that's fine i think still young

559

and beautiful thank you for watching thank you for coming to this channel and exploring the world of technologies,

560

immersion and quality assurance transforming into new shape and see you in next videos.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
