First QA hire? What
would you do?
Anton’s Strategy:
1 Learn the app (docs → tickets
→ team chats).
2 Support critical releases
(manual checks →
automation).
3 Improve processes after 1
month (retrospectives).
Automation Stack?
Key Points:
Clarify: "UI/API or full tech
stack?
Example: "WebDriver.io + Mocha
(UI), Postgres (DB), AWS
(hosting)"
Avoid: Over-explaining
unfamiliar tools.
Biggest Challenge?
Georgii’s Hack:
Ask back: "Technical, process, or
team challenges?
Example: "Automated OTP login
via Twilio API—took 3 days!"
Frame challenges as growth moments.
Tricky Tech Question
"var vs. let vs. const?"
var: Re-declare + reassign
let: Reassign only
const: Immutable.
