Frequently asked questions about hiring your next QA engineer

Key technical skills include proficiency in test automation tools, knowledge of programming languages like Python or Java, understanding of SQL for database testing, and familiarity with API testing tools.

While automation is crucial, manual testing experience remains valuable. Look for candidates with a balance of both skills, as manual testing is essential for exploratory testing and usability assessment.

Certifications like ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board), CSQA (Certified Software Quality Analyst), or specific tool certifications (e.g., Selenium) can be valuable, but practical experience should take precedence.

Present candidates with real-world testing scenarios or bugs and ask them to walk you through their approach. Look for logical thinking, creativity in test design, and ability to anticipate edge cases.

In Agile, QA Engineers are integral team members who collaborate closely with developers, participate in sprint planning, and ensure continuous testing throughout the development cycle.

Very important. QA Engineers should understand CI/CD pipelines and how to integrate automated tests into these processes for continuous quality assurance.

Critical soft skills include attention to detail, strong communication abilities, teamwork, and the capacity to think from the end-user’s perspective.

Ask about tools they’ve used (like JMeter or LoadRunner), their approach to designing performance test scenarios, and how they’ve identified and resolved performance bottlenecks in past projects.

Look for familiarity with mobile testing tools, experience testing on various devices and OS versions, understanding of mobile-specific issues (like battery usage and network conditions), and knowledge of both manual and automated mobile testing approaches.
