Test engineers are skilled quality assurance engineers that develop and implement testing procedures designed to ensure the functionality and quality of a product. They design tests and quality checks based on product parameters and then draw up testing procedures that adhere to industry standards.
When interviewing test engineers, the ideal candidate should have a background in engineering, good knowledge of software testing tools, and the ability to think out of the box. Be wary of candidates with poor technical writing skills and those with limited project-management experience.
