What are the most important mobile testing interview tips?

I believe we can also consider below points: 1. Stay Updated with Industry Trends: Mobile technology is constantly evolving. Stay updated with the latest trends in mobile testing, including emerging technologies, tools, and best practices. Interviewers may ask about candidate's awareness of recent developments in the field, so staying informed is essential. 2. Share Personal Experiences: Incorporate real-life experiences and anecdotes into your answers during the interview. Sharing stories about how you successfully resolved a complex testing issue or improved the efficiency of a mobile app can make your responses more engaging and memorable.

One of the first things to consider should be the difference that exists between current mobile platforms (iOS and Android), as there are limitations on how to test both, and things that can be done in both. Keep up to date with the news on big releases of Android and iOS and how they could impact development. Knowing this and how to mitigate the problems (such as proposing regression testing on beta versions of the new OS) show proactive thoughts. Try to share your thoughts and experience, and particularly which projects were the most challenging and how you solved them.

Commonly some questions are going to be about how to deal with emergent issues and how to deal with them. Be prepared to explain what kinds of testing you know, when to use them, and how to plan ahead for them. Discuss your past experience, your biggest challenges and solutions. Express your ability to learn and adapt to changes. Keep in mind what kind of devices you have, and what tools can assist you with devices you don't own (Emulators, BrowserStack) Always keep in mind that you should test in the current, previous and next versions of the OS, with as many different configurations as you can given the time frame. Explain that the behaviour of a Tablet and a Phone will change, and both have to be tested.

Common questions like Automation Testing, tools, frameworks and how to improve testing efficiency. Also consider below points. 1. Highlight Cross-Platform Testing: Discuss the significance of cross-platform testing, where candidates test the same application on different devices, OS versions, and screen sizes. Highlight the challenges in this area, how you adapt your testing strategies to ensure compatibility across various platforms. 2. Address Continuous Learning: Attend workshops, webinars, and conferences related to mobile testing and quality assurance. Staying curious and open to learning new techniques can set them apart as dedicated professionals.

Practicing with mock interviews also includes Preparing for Technical Challenges: While preparing for common questions is important, candidates should also be ready to tackle technical challenges during the interview. Review common mobile testing tools and demonstrate your problem-solving skills by addressing hypothetical testing scenarios or coding challenges related to mobile testing.

Take advantage of all the tools that are available for interviews, such as hackerrank , codility. Use mock exams for testing certifications to learn what questions can be asked. Ask people you know that has more seniority than you what do they ask when they interview a candidate, ask them for a mock interview so you can improve. Film yourself explaining your experience and answering what you can about mobile testing, and then review those videos to see where did you hesitate and why, so you can reinforce that aspect. Write for yourself all you know about mobile testing, it will help memorize the basic concepts so you can then explain them correctly. Try to think examples of every problem and solution you've experienced.

Always research the company you will interview for, and what the specifics of the role are. Not only will it show preparedness, but it will help to have an idea on what will be asked, if the role doesn't mention automation, you can put a focus on your manual skills. If the role needs knowledge on tools you haven't used, it will give you time to learn and practice, and then honestly say that you've been researching the tools and using them for a few weeks, and are willing to keep learning to do your best.

As in every job interview, be respectful and professional. Be there on time, well dressed and groomed, always be courteous and helpful, thank everyone for the opportunity. Be honest about your experience, if there's something you do not know, state it clearly and show willingness to learn on the subject. If there are things you have not done for a long time but do know, say that you will need to shake off the rust on those skills but you have done it in the past. Explain clearly your experience and expectations. Always keep your doors open, if this opportunity isn't for yourself, keep calm, be nice, thank them for the time, and ask them to keep you in mind for offers that are more aligned with your skills.

Do NOT be afraid to ask questions yourself, about the expectations of the job, of the benefits, everything that you consider will be helpful to know. Moving forward with a process you already know does not interest you is a waste of time for both parties
