Choose the right perspective
Match the person's role to your question: a hands-on lead or architect suits questions about frameworks, tools and keeping tests stable, while a manager suits questions about team structure, coverage goals and how automation fits the release process. Also ask what kinds of products and platforms they tested, since web, mobile, API and back-office systems each call for different automation approaches.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you choose which tests to automate first, and what did you leave as manual testing?
- 02How did you keep the automation suite fast and reliable as the product changed?
- 03How did you measure whether test automation was paying off, and what did you report to engineering leaders?
