How to Answer QA Interview Questions
Quality is the manufacturing motto of all companies. It is a persistent truth that a product should be of good quality to succeed in the market. Since quality determines the market presence of the product, it is mandatory to hire a quality assurance professional for the job. A QA professional assures the quality of the product before production. Quality control deals with identifying flaws in the product after production.
The QA interview identifies the candidate suitable for the role of a QA professional. The questions in a QA interview are informational, technical and behavioral. The answers should be crisp and in a clear voice.
