Interview Questions to Ask Before You Hire QA & Automation Engineers
Identify the right fit faster with these targeted technical and behavioral questions.
Test Strategy & Risk
What is risk-based testing?
Prioritize tests by business impact and failure likelihood to focus effort.
Definition of exit criteria?
Pre-agreed conditions to ship: coverage, pass rate, open defects, and SLOs.
Happy path vs edge cases?
Happy path is nominal flow; edges probe limits, invalid inputs, timeouts.
Shift-left testing, why?
Catch defects early via PR checks, unit/contract tests, and linting.
Automation Architecture
Page Object vs Screenplay?
Page Object models pages; Screenplay models actors/tasks for reusable actions.
Flaky test, define and fix?
Non-deterministic result; stabilize waits, isolate data, and mock unstable deps.
Test pyramid, what is it?
More unit, fewer UI; optimize cost, speed, and signal quality.
When to not automate?
Volatile UI, one-off checks, or subjective UX, prefer exploratory/manual.
Web UI Automation
Recommended locator strategy?
Use stable data-testid; avoid brittle XPaths and dynamic text.
Handle async/waits cleanly?
Rely on auto-waits (await page.getByRole(...)), avoid hard sleeps.
Parallelization best practice?
Shard by spec, seed isolated data, and run stateless tests in CI.
Visual regression basics?
Snapshot critical views; approve diffs via PR with tolerances.
API & Contract Testing
What is a contract test?
Validates provider/consumer expectations (e.g., Pact) to prevent breaking changes.
Idempotent API, why needed?
Retries won’t duplicate work; use Idempotency-Key and safe methods.
Auth & negative tests?
Test 401/403, scopes/claims, rate limits, and malformed payloads.
Schema & examples in OpenAPI?
Type, required, enums, examples; validate with openapi-validator.
Mobile Testing
Appium vs Espresso/XCUITest?
Appium is cross-platform; Espresso/XCUITest are faster, deeper on native stacks.
Stabilizing device tests?
Use ids, wait for idle, retry flaky steps, quarantine noisy specs.
Deep links, why test them?
Bypass navigation to target screens; faster, more deterministic flows.
Real devices vs emulators?
Emulators are fast; real devices surface hardware/OS quirks.
Red Flags to Watch For
Additional Interview Questions
Performance & Reliability
Load vs stress vs soak?
Load = expected traffic; stress = beyond limits; soak = long duration stability.
Key SLIs for web?
p95 latency, error rate, throughput, CLS/LCP for UX.
Backoff and jitter, purpose?
Spread retries to avoid herds; stabilize under partial failures.
Where to inject load?
Closest to edge/proxy for realism; segment API vs UI journeys.
CI/CD & Quality Gates
Define Fail-fast pipeline
Stop on critical failures early (lint/unit/contracts) to save cycle time.
Test impact analysis?
Run only affected tests using changed files/deps graph.
Artifact & env promotion?
Promote the same build across envs; avoid rebuild drift.
Blue/green vs canary?
Blue/green flips all traffic; canary shifts a safe percentage first.
CI/CD & Firebase Deployment
Deterministic data, how?
Seed fixtures, freeze dates, isolate accounts, and reset states per run.
Masking PII for tests?
Tokenize/anonymize; never store secrets in repos or logs.
Service virtualization, why?
Stub slow/unavailable deps to unblock tests and keep signal clean.
Clock and timezone issues?
Inject clock, use UTC, and test DST/timezone boundaries.
Observability & Defect Analytics
What to log for triage?
Correlation IDs, steps, screenshots, HARs, console/network traces.
Flake rate, what is it?
Percentage of non-deterministic tests; track and burn down weekly.
Escaped defects, how to reduce?
Contract tests, PR gates, canaries, and targeted synthetic monitors.
Postmortem essentials?
Blameless summary, root cause, fixes, owners, and follow-up SLAs.
