Global QA Interview Playbook

This is not a collection of textbook answers.

This playbook is written from the perspective of how QA interviews

are actually conducted in real companies — not how candidates

prepare for them.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• How interviewers evaluate answers beyond tools and theory

• How to approach scenario-based questions with structure and clarity

• How to think about risk, priorities, and business impact

• What strong QA candidates do differently from average ones

• How to answer when you don’t know something

• Real-world examples across manual testing, APIs, SQL, and automation

This guide is designed for:

• Manual testers, QA engineers, SDETs

• 1–10+ years of experience

• Candidates interviewing for US, UK, and remote roles

• Anyone tired of memorizing answers without understanding expectations

If you’ve ever felt that interviews test “something more”

than just tools — this playbook explains exactly what that is.
