Senior Software Qa Engineer Interview Questions

509 senior software qa engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Technical one was the easiest one. Went through concepts of programming. With managers it was behavioural questions like: - give a goal you have not reached yet and tell me about your action plans - tell me about a time you choose a colleague - why you choose that person and what was the outcome - tell me about a problem you couldn't solve and the actions you took - there is an sql script which is running slow. What actions you can take to check the cause - tell me about your framework - tell me about the last bug you couldn't catch - you are not coming from the same background with the person you are working with. How would you communicate? Whiteboard session was about preparing the functional tests for a payment solution. There were 4 different microservices involved.
