47,798 qa manager interview questions shared by candidates

generic, open ended. the interviewer was really unsure of what to ask, it was 8pm so seemed that we were both annoyed at the timing. Not sure why she wanted to interview so late. Didn't seem like the team knew what type of candidate they were looking for. Job description should have said: Jack of all traits. (they wanted a developer who wants to be a scrum master, run manual testcase and automate the testcases)

questions were mostly based on computer networks, operating systems and dbms. No questions at all on programming or data structures. Only theoretical knowledge is not sufficient, questions were mostly application oriented.
