Hi there!
2
Welcome to the Tester's Family channel.
3
This is the channel of two QA engineers who help in shape the world of quality.
4
In this video, we will cover a series of updated questions for quality engineers during the interview.
5
It will be shaped by AI, by new trends, so make sure you watch till the end
6
because some of the questions only related to the year of 2026 and even future year of 2027.
7
The quality engineering market is very different right now.
8
Even from the last year, even from the beginning of the 2026, it's totally different.
9
So make sure you align with new expectations from this role and we'll begin.
10
For those of you who do not know me, my name is Christina and I've been in quality assurance for over 10 years.
11
I have master's uh of business administration in information technology
12
and i also run my career agency so i'm a career coach
13
and i'm coaching people how to go through the interview process how to
14
pass the interview and get a job offer
15
so make sure to listen to my advice
16
because i've coached hundreds of people on how to pass an interview
17
and to be precise about my credentials i have a lot
18
and to be precise about my credentials i don't want to read it from the screen
19
but you guys see that i definitely have credibility to be here today with you
20
and talk about this topic i've interviewed myself over 100 different candidates for quality engineering roles
21
and i've been on career coaching
22
when i shaped around maybe 500 resumes towards the um you know job market for engineering
23
so I have a huge background I've seen a lot
24
so make sure you subscribe
25
and let's begin with our interview questions for this series I came up with 20 questions
26
and let's begin the most obvious one tell me about yourself answering this question changed a little bit
27
but still I follow the same trend we're making it down to three minutes only
28
but let's see how we divide those three minutes within your reply one minute you dedicate to your education
29
and experience background second minute you dedicate for your tax tech projects
30
you need to describe what technology you've been working on not everything for the past 10 years
31
but most important one for the role
32
and last minute you're talking about your interest in strengths where
33
do you see your skills will be most valuable what are your area of expertise you want to share
34
so be precise if you know some automation for your words
35
that you're like a guru
36
and you are definitely gonna help where you think organization wouldn't benefit from it make sure to mention
37
it another important thing you need to get
38
it straight to the point get straight to the point
39
you don't need any long essays about your not relevant experience
40
to the role just be precise on what is important
41
and let people choose what area they want to discover
42
and then please please no reading you can't imagine how stupid it looks
43
when you're reading because we people from the other side of the interviewing process we see
44
when you read we understand when you read especially especially
45
if English is not your first language
46
because it all shows the difference in your speed in your talking
47
so when you're reading you might be reading faster you have less emotions but
48
when you're speaking about your true experience you're more energized
49
you make more now you make more pauses in between sentences you think
50
but when you read it's a hundred percent visible especially
51
when today you guys use an AI for your answers please do not use any AI we can see
52
that we know when you reply with AI and it's
53
because it's more generic answer not specific to your experience not specific to your project even
54
if you configure you're like AI helper correctly still one question
55
and you're off
56
because people who suspect you're using AI
57
they're not gonna ask you questions technical questions
58
they will go deep into the specific of the projects into the specific of the issues
59
they will be you know diving
60
and digging deep inside to get those small small details
61
and they will start confusing AI that's what I do I'm asking very very very long questions
62
because when you ask AI five questions in the same in the same timeline it gets confused
63
and it might answer only first or last
64
or just not answer it at all so I know how to confuse AI
65
when I see the candidate using AI it's all possible
66
so just please be honest the best you can do for preparation
67
if you need to use your note
68
you have like piece of paper somewhere on your desk just have your notes
69
there sometimes periodically look them that's totally fine everyone does it
70
but please no reading okay and the last one create a map and guide through it what does it mean
71
when you're talking about yourself
72
when you're explaining your experience your text tag
73
you need to create a visual map for your interviewer to
74
walk through to navigate through it might look like this
75
so you're giving them an opportunity to explore any area of expertise
76
you want them to show basically your tell me your tell
77
me about yourself story should look like this you are in the center
78
and different directions like you did this you did
79
that you have experience in this technology you have experience in
80
that technology but overall you're giving them a menu to choose from
81
so they can explore different paths and that's how it looks and then after this interview
82
You will pick one of those paths that you presented and will go from there.
83
So you're going to give them a freedom, but a control freedom.
84
So you control what question they ask next based on what you have answered in tell me about yourself question.
85
Okay, let's go to the second one.
86
Describe your automation experience.
87
I would say that today automation is a number one priority i don't think there are few
88
or a lot manual positions there are definitely no manual position like clear manual positions uh
89
there may be some some positions
90
which does not involve automation in the standard way like we all used to think about
91
but it still involves some kind of of additional technical responsibilities like um something beyond regular testing
92
and you need to understand that today's 2026 ai already automated everything automating everything
93
so please think about your your future you
94
if you are in quality assurance if you are qa tester you have to
95
automate you have to know at least one automation framework it's a must
96
so let's talk about this question specifically
97
when you describe in your automation experience what's important to mention
98
important to mention total years of experience with automation automation framework changes
99
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.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
