Quality Engineer Interview Questions

As a quality engineer, you will be expected by your employer to have the critical thinking skills, data analysis skills, and business quality knowledge to develop tools, systems, and processes that ensure product quality from start to finish. In an interview you can expect to be asked about your IT experience, knowledge of enterprise architectures, software engineering background, and understanding of quality improvement techniques. Because quality engineering is based heavily in software development, you can expect to be asked multiple technical programming questions.

There was a logic question that involved thinking out of the box: Given a bead that would split into two per second, and a room that will get filled within a certain time frame (say, from 7:00 to 9:30pm), how long is it before the room will be 1/4 full of beads?
