PRACTISE THE QUESTIONS BEHIND THE LOOP
Questions worth rehearsing aloud.
These examples test the kind of clarity a qa engineer needs to show. Use them to practise your structure, not to memorise a script.
Prioritize by customer impact, likelihood of failure, and cost of recovery. Start with the flows that could lose data, money, trust, or access, then use exploration to uncover assumptions the requirements missed.
