  • In Web3 QA Interviews, How Do You Explain Test Coverage Without Sounding Scripted or Over-Technical?

    I’m a blockchain QA engineer with two years of experience, and almost every interview includes the same question: “What’s your test coverage?” It’s easy to answer this in Web2, but in smart-contract testing it feels harder to express.

    My tests cover Solidity functions, modifiers, CEI flows, and reentrancy scenarios, yet tools like Hardhat Coverage still show unexplained gaps. I want to answer with confidence without sounding rehearsed or giving unrealistic numbers.

    For those who’ve cleared Web3 QA interviews, how do you explain test coverage in a way that reflects real risk awareness and smart-contract quality instead of just quoting percentages?

    I usually say, “Coverage tells how much of your risk surface is tested, not just your lines of code.” Even with 100% line coverage, a contract can fail if you haven’t tested access control or edge conditions. In blockchain QA, I map functions to risk zones say for example, withdrawals, admin controls, and token transfers. That helps interviewers see you understand which code paths actually affect security and value.
