#qa testing interview questions

This is the story of the time I interviewed at Ubisoft.

When I was a teenager, I became obsessed with the Bioshock series and got it into my head that I wanted to do game design for a living. I'd never seriously attempted it nor did I know exactly what it entailed, but how hard could it be? I gamed!! I had ideas!! I said this to my teacher during a what do you want to be when you grow up talk, and she said, "Oh! My sister works at Ubisoft Singapore. I'll get you an interview."

Emails were exchanged, and someone at the company arranged a "quick chat" with me a couple of weeks later. It was for a QA tester intern position, which I reasoned was sort of like game design. After all, in the Sims 3 it's one rung on the ladder to becoming a game developer. Also I didn't want to anger my teacher. She was quite volatile.

Round 1:

I'd never done a job interview before. I put on a nice blouse and pencil skirt and heels, nervously applied and reapplied makeup which I normally did not wear, and showed up at the office building an hour early. Then as I went up the elevator I realised they never said what room it was. I couldn't very well email to ask now. I'd look like an idiot!! Fuck!! So for an hour, I just skulked around outside various glass doors peering into offices hoping there would be some receptionist around to ask, but there was practically no one there. The email only said "let's have a quick chat at 2pm on x date".

I was about to slink home with my tail between my legs when the interviewer called at the scheduled time. It was a phone interview!!!!! He didn't say that!!!!! I found a dingy secluded stairwell. As if to taunt me, one of the first questions he asked was "have you ever been to the building?"

Me, through gritted teeth: yeah! actually I'm here right now, haha... to scope it out, you know... get a lay of the land..... it's really big... Lots of glass walls...

Him: oh that's nice.

I don't remember most of the questions, but I do know he asked me what my favourite games were. I said Undertale and Life is Strange (they had come out that year), but he'd never heard of them. Maybe I should've said Far Cry or something but what if he quizzed me on it?

Round 2:

I should not have made it to this round. I was coasting entirely on the goodwill of my teacher's sister, who was high up the chain. She interviewed me next. I think her only question was whether I would be okay working long gruelling hours with little support and no overtime.

Me, blissfully unaware of crunch culture being a massive human rights issue in the industry: bring it on!!

Her: what? 🤨

Then she ushered me into a room to take a pencil and paper test. While waiting earlier, I'd frantically googled and memorised a bunch of Ubisoft games, so I could answer the one asking me to list eight of them. I figured I could have gotten away with saying Assassin's Creed and adding a random number to the back though.

The biggest problem was on the other side of the paper: a diagram of a gaming controller asking me to label the buttons. Here's the thing. I'm a PC gamer. Always have been. At the time, my only experience with console gaming was playing Little Big Planet with my best friend when I was twelve, at her house. And I wasn't very good at it! I think I fundamentally lack the hand-eye coordination for console gaming, but that's just a guess because I can count on one hand the number of times I've ever used a controller. And I can count on one hand the number of controllers I have in that hand! It's zero! I knew the wiggly antennae were for movement and the buttons on the sides did esoteric things that people will yell at you to press during crucial moments, but that was it. I ended up labelling the buttons the shapes they were (circle button, triangle button, square button etc).

The interviewer came back into the room after about 15 minutes and said I now had an hour to play an unfinished level of Assassin's Creed, identify as many bugs as possible, and record them on a spreadsheet. And even though she set me up at a computer monitor, I still had to use a controller. Are you kidding me! This was the Victorian era Assassin's Creed. I had never played any AC games before, so I didn't know what were bugs and what were features. Was "can't jump" a bug? Was "invisible wall surrounding staircases"? What was the format and lingo you were supposed to use when recording bugs? I made no progress towards the quest at all (I did not understand it or who my character was), just wandered around and wrote down things I noticed and didn't like until time was up.

Anyway, that's the tale of how I didn't get a job I was woefully unprepared and underqualified for and in retrospect didn't want all that much. Maybe what I really wanted was to be... was Ayn Rand.

Is there much of a difference between a digital media degree and a game design degree when it comes to applying for jobs within the gaming sector?

Or is it dependent on the role you are applying for?

There is a difference between having a degree and not having one in a relevant field, but it isn't as important as one might think. The kind of degree you hold really only matters for the initial application round, where the recruiters sift through all of the applications and decide who gets callbacks and who gets dropped. This is because, realistically, we can't call every applicant back for each open position. Large studios like Blizzard or Riot often have literal hundreds of applications for open positions, and calling everyone back would take an army of recruiters.

This means that recruiters are reliant on the presence of certain keywords in the resume/CV for that candidate to pass to the next round. "BA in Game Design" ticks a box that "BA in Digital Media" likely won't, though the kind of degree is only one of many keywords we're looking for. We're ultimately looking for candidates who can do the work that the job entails - cinematic designer, gameplay programmer, texture artist, associate producer, QA engineer, and so on. The degree is an indicator that a candidate might be able to do the job, but is not a full guarantee - that's what the additional rounds of interviewing and testing are for.

As such, I encourage job seekers to tailor their resume/CV to the role they are applying for - the descriptions of any project and work experience should show how those experiences would carry over to the job that we're hiring for. This should both maximize the chances of keyword hits as well as persuade the humans who read the resume/CV that you're a good fit for the position because you already know how to do the work and have been doing similar work in the past.

If any of you out there want specific assistance with your resume/CV, I would heavily suggest joining our discord server and asking, or reaching out to me privately via TwitterX or Bluesky. There are many experienced developers (including hiring managers) on our Discord who can provide resume/CV advice, and I've done a lot of resume/CV reviews personally as well (both as a hiring manager and for the readers of my blog). [Click here for an example of a CV review] I did for an entry-level gameplay programmer. If you don't want your stuff made public, you don't have to. I promise we'll still help you with the CV.

Crack the Code: Why Learning Java Is Still One of the Smartest Career Moves in 2025

In a world of constantly changing tech trends—where Python, Kotlin, and JavaScript dominate discussions—Java continues to stand strong. And if you're a student or fresher looking to enter the tech industry, learning Java might just be your smartest investment yet.

Why? Because Java is everywhere. From Android apps to enterprise systems, banking software to back-end platforms—Java powers millions of applications used daily. And the demand for skilled Java developers isn't just staying steady; it's growing.

In 2025, Java remains a gateway to building a robust, long-lasting career in software development. And thanks to platforms like Beep, students now have access to hands-on, Java programming courses for beginners that are affordable, practical, and job-oriented.

Why Java Still Rules the Backend World

Some people wrongly assume Java is “old school.” But ask any senior developer, and you’ll hear the same thing: Java is battle-tested, secure, and versatile.

Here’s why companies continue to prefer Java:

Scalability: Perfect for high-traffic apps and large databases

Platform independence: “Write once, run anywhere” is still relevant

Community support: Millions of developers worldwide

Enterprise adoption: Banks, telecoms, logistics firms, and even startups love Java’s stability

Whether you're building a mobile app or designing a cloud-based ERP, Java offers the tools to scale and succeed.

What Makes Java Perfect for Beginners

You don’t need to be an expert to start with Java. In fact, many colleges use Java as a foundation for teaching object-oriented programming (OOP).

As a beginner, you’ll gain core skills that apply across languages:

Variables, data types, control structures

Classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism

File handling, exception management

Basic UI development using JavaFX or Swing

Introduction to frameworks like Spring (as you advance)

This foundation makes it easier to switch to more specialized stacks later (like Android or Spring Boot) or even pick up other languages like Python or C#.

Where to Start Learning Java the Right Way

While YouTube and free tutorials are good for browsing, structured learning is better for job-readiness. That’s why Beep offers a beginner-friendly Java programming course that’s designed specifically for students and freshers.

What makes this course ideal:

It covers both basic and intermediate concepts

You build real-world projects along the way

You learn how Java is used in interviews and job scenarios

You get certified upon completion—great for your resume

It’s flexible and can be completed alongside college or internship schedules

And if you’re aiming for backend developer jobs, this certification is a strong step in the right direction.

How Java Helps You Land Jobs Faster

Hiring managers love candidates who know Java for one simple reason—it’s practical.

Java-trained freshers can apply for roles like:

Junior Software Developer

Backend Developer

QA Engineer (Automation Testing)

Android App Developer

Support Engineer (Java-based systems)

These roles often mention Java and SQL as core requirements, making it easier for you to stand out if you’ve completed a course and built some small projects.

Explore the latest jobs for freshers in India on Beep that list Java among the top preferred skills.

Build Projects, Not Just Skills

To truly master Java—and get noticed—you need to build and share your work. Here are some beginner-friendly project ideas:

Student registration portal

Simple inventory management system

Expense tracker

Quiz game using JavaFX

File encryption/decryption tool

Host these on GitHub and add them to your resume. Recruiters love seeing what you’ve created, not just what you’ve studied.

What About Java vs. Python?

This is a common question among freshers: Should I learn Java or Python?

The answer: learn based on your goals.

Want to work in data science or AI? Python is ideal.

Want to build robust applications, Android apps, or work in enterprise systems? Java is your best bet.

Also, once you understand Java, learning Python becomes easier. So why not start with the tougher but more rewarding path?

How to Prepare for Java Interviews

Once you’ve got the basics down and completed a project or two, start preparing for interviews with:

Practice problems on platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank

Study key Java topics: Collections, OOP principles, exception handling

Learn basic SQL (many Java jobs also require DB interaction)

Brush up on scenario-based questions

You can also check out Beep’s resources for interview prep alongside your course content.

Final Thoughts: Learn Once, Earn Always

Learning Java isn’t just about getting your first job—it’s about building a lifelong skill. Java has been around for over two decades, and it’s not going anywhere. From web to mobile to enterprise, Java developers are always in demand.

So if you're ready to start your tech journey, don't chase trends. Build a solid base. Start with the best Java course for beginners, practice consistently, and apply with confidence. Because a well-written Java application—and resume—can open more doors than you think.

Supercharge Your Automation Testing Skills with Selenium WebDriver, Java & TestNG

If you're serious about kickstarting or upgrading your automation testing journey, it's time you got hands-on with Selenium WebDriver with Java & TestNG Testing Framework. These tools, when used together, can turn a good QA tester into a great one — and a beginner into a job-ready automation professional.

Let’s break it all down in plain English — no technical fluff, no complicated jargon — just real talk about what makes this stack so powerful and why you should be learning it right now.

Why Selenium WebDriver Deserves Your Attention

Selenium has been the go-to tool for automation testers for years. Why? Because it's open-source, versatile, and widely used across companies of all sizes.

With Selenium WebDriver, you're not just testing your applications — you're simulating real user interactions. Clicking buttons, entering text, submitting forms — you name it. And you’re doing it across browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

No matter what tech stack a company uses for its website or app, chances are Selenium can help test it.

But that’s not all.

Combine it with Java, one of the most reliable programming languages, and you’ve got a solid base to write scalable, reusable, and efficient test scripts.

Why Java? It Just Makes Sense

Java isn’t new, and that’s exactly why it works so well.

It’s been around for decades, is easy to debug, and has a massive community behind it. That means more documentation, more tutorials, and more support if you ever get stuck.

Plus, since many enterprises already use Java for backend systems, integrating test automation using Java-based Selenium scripts becomes seamless.

So, pairing Selenium WebDriver with Java gives you one of the most stable, future-proof automation solutions out there.

Now, Add TestNG to the Mix — The Game Changes Completely

Let’s be honest: Writing test cases is one thing. Managing them, grouping them, running them in parallel, generating reports? That’s a whole other ball game.

TestNG takes care of all that.

It’s a testing framework that helps you organize your tests, prioritize them, and execute them like a pro. With TestNG, you can:

Run a specific group of tests

Execute tests in parallel (hello, faster feedback loops!)

Generate HTML reports automatically

Integrate easily with CI/CD tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions

And best of all? It works beautifully with Selenium WebDriver and Java.

That’s why this powerful trio — Selenium, Java, and TestNG — is such a hot combo in the automation world.

Automation Testing Isn’t the Future — It’s the Now

Companies today don’t have the luxury of time. Deploying apps faster means testing faster — and better. That’s why automation has moved from “nice to have” to absolutely essential.

Hiring managers know this. Recruiters know this. The job market knows this.

Learning manual testing is a good start, but if you really want to stand out and land top-paying QA roles, you need automation skills on your resume — especially with tools like Selenium, Java, and TestNG.

CI/CD basics – to understand integration with DevOps environments

This practical knowledge makes you job-ready from day one.

6. Soft Skills & Interview Readiness

Technical skills are essential, but soft skills and interview preparation matter too. A good course will help you build a strong resume, prepare for common QA interview questions, and even conduct mock interviews to build your confidence.

7. Certification & Placement Support

A recognized certification (e.g., ISTQB Foundation Level) adds credibility to your profile. Choose a course that either prepares you for certification exams or offers its own industry-acknowledged certificate. Bonus if they help with placements or internship opportunities, especially if you’re based in Pune.

The Digital Product Development Process: From Concept to Market

In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven landscape, transforming an idea into a successful digital product requires more than technical expertise. It demands a structured, user-centric approach that integrates creativity, technical feasibility, and strategic business planning. Whether developing a mobile app, SaaS platform, or an innovative web service, the digital product development process provides a step-by-step framework to minimize risks, foster collaboration, and deliver meaningful value to users.

1. Discovery and Research 

Every successful product begins with a clear understanding of the problem it aims to solve. During the discovery phase, teams conduct in-depth market research, competitor analysis, and stakeholder interviews. Methods such as user surveys, focus groups, and empathy mapping are employed to identify user pain points and unmet needs. This foundational research generates actionable insights that shape the product vision, ensuring the team focuses on addressing valuable challenges rather than following fleeting trends.

2. Defining Requirements and Roadmapping 

After validating the core problem, the next step is to translate these insights into well-defined objectives. Product managers collaborate with designers, engineers, and stakeholders to establish clear goals, success metrics (e.g., user engagement, conversion rates), and high-level requirements. A prioritized product roadmap is then created to outline feature delivery in phases—typically distinguishing between the minimum viable product (MVP), version 1.0, and subsequent enhancements. This roadmap balances essential features with desirable additions, aligns the team on priorities, and sets achievable timelines.

3. UX/UI Design 

Design is the stage where the product begins to take shape both visually and functionally. UX designers develop wireframes and user flows to map out each step of the user journey, ensuring seamless navigation and efficient task completion. Once the structural foundation is established, UI designers refine the visual elements, incorporating colors, typography, and interactive components that align with your brand identity. Throughout the design process, regular usability testing with prototypes identifies potential friction points early, saving both time and resources in later stages. 

4. Agile Development 

With a validated design in place, developers begin constructing the product using agile methodologies. The work is organized into sprints—typically two to four weeks long—each delivering functional, shippable increments. Structured sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and sprint reviews ensure alignment across the team and allow for rapid feedback loops. Continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines automate testing and deployment processes, minimizing errors and speeding up release timelines. 

5. Testing and Quality Assurance 

Quality assurance is conducted alongside development to identify and resolve bugs, performance issues, and security vulnerabilities before they reach end users. QA teams create automated unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests, while manual testing addresses usability issues and edge cases. Load testing ensures the product can scale effectively under real-world conditions. A dedicated QA phase—or a limited beta release—validates product stability and user satisfaction prior to a full-scale launch.

6. Launch and Go-to-Market 

Launching a digital product is a complex process that involves much more than simply going live. Marketing and sales teams must coordinate go-to-market strategies, develop press releases, and create onboarding materials. Customer support teams should be prepared with clear guidance on common questions and troubleshooting procedures. As the product is rolled out—whether through app stores, a web launch, or enterprise deployment—it is critical to closely monitor analytics, track key performance indicators (KPIs), and collect user feedback to ensure adoption and engagement goals are achieved. 

7. Post-Launch Iteration 

Digital product development is fundamentally iterative. Following the launch, analytics, user reviews, and support tickets should be leveraged to identify opportunities for improvement. Focus on addressing bug reports, optimizing performance, and enhancing features based on actual user behavior. Providing regular updates, detailed release notes, and maintaining active engagement with the user community build trust and foster loyalty, positioning the product for sustained success. 

Conclusion 

From discovery to post-launch iteration, the digital product development process is a continuous cycle of empathy, collaboration, and refinement. By following a structured approach—grounded in thorough research, design thinking, agile methodologies, and data-driven decision-making—you enhance the likelihood of delivering a product that not only performs effectively but also resonates deeply with users and stands out in a competitive marketplace.

Testing Mobile Health (mHealth) Applications for Accessibility and Usability

The mobile health (mHealth) industry is revolutionizing how patients and providers interact with healthcare. From chronic disease management apps to remote patient monitoring platforms, mHealth applications are improving healthcare delivery access, efficiency, and personalization. However, ensuring that these apps are accessible and usable is vital for achieving positive health outcomes and user adoption—especially for individuals with disabilities or limited tech proficiency.

This article explores how application testing, especially accessibility testing and usability testing, plays a crucial role in the success of mHealth apps. It also examines how these tests integrate into broader mobile testing and healthcare device testing strategies to ensure compliance, safety, and user satisfaction.

Why Accessibility and Usability Matter in mHealth

Accessibility and usability are often conflated, but they address different aspects of user interaction.

Accessibility testing ensures that people with disabilities—such as visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor impairments—can effectively use an application. In the healthcare context, this is critical as patients with disabilities are among the primary users of mHealth apps.

Usability testing evaluates how easy and efficient an app is to use. This includes how intuitive the user interface is, how clear the navigation and content are, and whether users can accomplish their goals without confusion or error.

For mHealth applications, which may involve sensitive data, urgent care decisions, or medication management, both accessibility and usability are essential. A confusing interface or inaccessible features can lead to non-compliance, data entry errors, or even health risks.

Key Challenges in Testing mHealth Applications

Testing mobile health applications presents unique challenges that go beyond conventional mobile app testing:

Compliance with Regulations mHealth apps must adhere to regulatory requirements like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) in the U.S., GDPR in Europe, and accessibility standards such as WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). Testing must ensure full compliance to avoid legal and safety issues.

Device and Platform Fragmentation With a wide range of mobile devices and operating systems in use, mobile testing must include thorough cross-platform compatibility checks.

Integration with Healthcare Devices Some mHealth apps connect with external devices such as glucose monitors, blood pressure cuffs, or smartwatches. Healthcare device testing must be part of the QA process to ensure accurate data transmission and processing.

Real-World Usage Scenarios mHealth apps are often used in varied environments—from homes to hospitals. Tests must simulate different network conditions, screen sizes, and user interactions.

Essential Testing Types for mHealth Apps

1. Accessibility Testing

Accessibility testing ensures the app is usable by people with disabilities. This includes:

Screen reader compatibility (e.g., Voiceover, Talkback)

Colour contrast and font size checks

Keyboard navigation for users with motor impairments

Captions for audio and video content

Alternative text for images

Automated tools like Axe or WAVE can assist, but manual testing with assistive technologies remains critical.

2. Usability Testing

Usability testing involves real users interacting with the app to uncover pain points. It helps answer questions like:

Are users able to find information easily?

Can patients’ complete tasks like logging symptoms or scheduling appointments without guidance?

Is medical terminology explained clearly?

Testing sessions can include surveys, interviews, and screen recordings to collect qualitative and quantitative feedback.

3. Functional Testing

This verifies that the app’s core features work as intended—such as logging in, syncing with devices, sending notifications, or storing data securely.

4. Compatibility Testing

To account for device fragmentation, apps should be tested across:

iOS and Android versions

Various screen sizes and resolutions

Different network conditions (3G, 4G, Wi-Fi)

5. Performance Testing

Since mHealth apps often handle real-time data, performance testing ensures fast load times, stable connections, and smooth data syncing.

6. Security Testing

Apps handling health data must implement robust encryption, secure authentication, and data privacy measures. Security testing evaluates these protections and ensures HIPAA/GDPR compliance.

Designing Effective Healthcare Test Cases

To ensure coverage of all crucial aspects, healthcare test cases should be designed to validate:

Accurate retrieval and display of medical history

Secure communication with healthcare professionals

Correct functioning of reminders and alerts

Accessibility features for users with impairments

Device integration and data syncing accuracy

Error handling in case of device failures or poor connectivity

Each test case should include a clear description, expected outcome, and compliance criteria (e.g., “User with visual impairment can book an appointment using screen reader”).

Best Practices for mHealth Application Testing

Start Early: Integrate accessibility and usability testing from the design phase to avoid costly redesigns later.

Involve End Users: Conduct usability tests with patients and healthcare providers to gather real-world feedback.

Adopt Agile Testing: Continuous testing during development ensures faster iterations and better quality.

Use Automation Wisely: Automate repetitive functional tests, but rely on manual testing for user experience and accessibility.

Stay Updated with Regulations: Monitor updates in healthcare and accessibility compliance standards to stay ahead.

Conclusion

Testing mHealth applications for accessibility and usability is not just a technical requirement—it’s a healthcare imperative. By integrating comprehensive application testing, including accessibility testing, mobile testing, and healthcare device testing, developers can create apps that are safe, inclusive, and truly impactful.

The ultimate goal is to empower all users—regardless of ability or technical expertise—to take control of their health through intuitive and accessible mobile solutions.
