10 QA Interview Questions You'll Be Asked This Year

1. Walk me through how you'd test a login form. Cover positive, negative, security, accessibility, and edge cases.

2. What's the difference between severity and priority? Severity = impact. Priority = urgency.

3. A test is flaky. What do you do? Reproduce, isolate, fix root cause (timing, data, environment), never just retry-loop.

4. How would you test an API without a UI? Postman → schema validation → automate in CI.

5. What's your favorite bug you've found? Have one ready. Be specific. Numbers help.

6. What's regression testing and why does it matter?

7. Difference between black-box and white-box testing?

8. What's your automation philosophy — when do you NOT automate?

9. Tell me about a conflict with a developer over a bug.

10. Why QA, and where do you want to be in 3 years?

For each, prepare a 90-second STAR answer. Practice out loud. Record yourself.
