Tell me about the difference between Quality Assurance and Quality Control
The difference between QA and QC is that QA is to identify and prevent bugs or defects from getting through to production, while QC is validating and identify defects and issues of the software already in production and deployed.
Have you ever encountered challenges working with your team or the offshore team?
Tell me about a time where you had a disagreement with a developer and how did you resolve the issue
Have you written a test plan before?
I haven’t personally written a test plan before but I do understand what should be included in one and how to use it to guide my daily testing activities. I have used test plans in the past to ensure the quality of the software I am testing, and I am willing and eager to learn more and develop my skills in this area. I am committed to ensuring the success of the project and working collaboratively with the team to achieve our goals.
What is RTM and could you complete on if asked
RTM stands for Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) it’s like a roadmap for the software development process. It helps to ensure that all requirements are met, and that the software is developed according to the specifications outlined in the requirements document.
An RTM typically includes a list of requirements and maps them to specific test cases, defects, and other documentation related to the software development process. This allows stakeholders to track progress, identify gaps in testing, and ensure that all requirements are being met.
Yes I can very well complete on if asked.
Tell me about the last 3 jobs you have held
In my most recent role, I worked as a bookkeeper using Quickbooks while also collaborating with the website development team to identify and report defects on the client’s websites. Before that, I worked at a development company where I ensured the final website product met the client’s requirements and functioned as intended. In my first job, I managed a Shopify store backend, using SQL queries to retrieve data and APIs to connect with other systems.
These experiences gave me a strong understanding of database management, defect reporting, and e-commerce, which I believe are valuable skills for a QA analyst role. While I don’t have advanced coding skills yet, I do have an aptitude for learning automation and I’m excited to expand my technical expertise as a QA analyst.
