Next steps
One of the most important skills of any good QA engineer is logical thinking, which is why we’d like you to think about the following questions before applying:
- What do you think is more important – delivering the product on time, going cheap, or ensuring the product's quality?
- Look around the room and point out anything unusual – what do you see, and what seems to be the issue? Explain it.
- Why does a chair require four legs?
- How would you deal with a developer who's convincing you something isn't a bug, but you know it is? What would you say to them?
- You found a bug in an app, but can't reproduce it. How would you report it?
Send us your answers in PDF format (in English) along with your CV to posao@cobeisfresh.com by Friday, July 4th.
The planned duration of the internship is 8-10 weeks, with a start in early August.
Good luck! 🍀
