Here are four tools you can learn before an interview to improve your chances:
🎮 Postman / Bruno
Send REST requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
Inspect HTTP status codes and JSON response bodies
🎮 Chrome DevTools
Network tab: track network requests and responses
Console tab: catch frontend errors and read stack traces
🎮 DBeaver / DataGrip
Write SQL queries (SELECT, WHERE, JOIN)
Check data in a database
🎮 Charles / Fiddler
Intercept and mock network traffic
Test how an application handles server errors
🤝 Your next step:
Install Postman. Send a GET request to https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts. Take a look at the response. It will take 3 minutes.
🧠 Ask AI:
“I’m a beginner QA engineer. Create a 1-week plan to help me learn Postman from scratch to the point where I can create a collection of tests for a REST API.”
