Quality Engineer Interview Questions

As a quality engineer, you will be expected by your employer to have the critical thinking skills, data analysis skills, and business quality knowledge to develop tools, systems, and processes that ensure product quality from start to finish. In an interview you can expect to be asked about your IT experience, knowledge of enterprise architectures, software engineering background, and understanding of quality improvement techniques. Because quality engineering is based heavily in software development, you can expect to be asked multiple technical programming questions.

65,732 quality engineer interview questions shared by candidates

generic, open ended. the interviewer was really unsure of what to ask, it was 8pm so seemed that we were both annoyed at the timing. Not sure why she wanted to interview so late. Didn't seem like the team knew what type of candidate they were looking for. Job description should have said: Jack of all traits. (they wanted a developer who wants to be a scrum master, run manual testcase and automate the testcases)

questions were mostly based on computer networks, operating systems and dbms. No questions at all on programming or data structures. Only theoretical knowledge is not sufficient, questions were mostly application oriented.
