close collaboration with developers. Exploratory testing helps uncover hidden issues. A
mix of technical analysis and exploratory testing ensures accurate resolutions.

8. Question: How do you ensure that all products meet both functional and non-functional
requirements? Can you provide an example of how you've achieved this in the past?

Answer: I develop a comprehensive test strategy covering both functional and non-
functional testing. For example, in a web application, I conducted functional tests to
validate requirements and performance tests using load testing tools to meet
performance benchmarks.

9. Question: As an SQA Analyst, how would you collaborate with software developers to
support the product lifecycle and maintain high-quality standards?

Answer: I actively participate in project meetings and conduct code reviews to catch
defects early. Collaboration with developers during unit testing and regression testing
ensures high-quality standards throughout the product lifecycle.

10. Question: Have you worked with test automation tools such as Selenium or any other
similar tools? If yes, can you describe your experience with test automation and its impact
on the quality of your work?

Answer: Yes, I have experience with Selenium for test automation. Test automation
improved testing efficiency, increased test coverage, and helped catch defects early in
the development process, leading to higher-quality products.

11. Question: In a team setting, how do you exhibit a strong work ethic and contribute to a
positive team environment?
