Automation skills

Selenium — Still the most-asked browser automation framework in QA interviews and legacy suites.
Playwright — Modern cross-browser automation with auto-waits — increasingly the default at product companies.
Cypress — Popular for front-end teams that own their own end-to-end suite.
BDD (Cucumber / SpecFlow) — Used when product + QA collaborate on executable specs.

API / backend testing

REST API testing — Almost every QA role now expects you to validate JSON contracts and status codes.
Postman / Newman — Standard tool for API exploration and shareable collections.

CI/CD and DevOps

Jenkins — Legacy CI still widely deployed — expect pipeline-as-code questions.
GitHub Actions — Default CI for teams on GitHub — YAML workflows and matrix builds.
Azure — Common in enterprise / Microsoft-shop QA roles.

Programming languages

JavaScript / TypeScript — Required for Playwright, Cypress, and modern front-end test tooling.
C# / .NET — Common in enterprise + SpecFlow-based QA stacks.
SQL — Data validation and back-office QA rely on solid SQL.

Domain & process

Performance testing (JMeter / k6 / LoadRunner) — Different discipline from functional QA — expect scenario and metrics questions.
Accessibility (WCAG / axe) — Regulatory + brand-critical — often owned by QA teams.
AI in testing — Employers increasingly ask how you use AI copilots to speed up QA work.
