While test engineers do not develop or write application code, they need to be familiar with software programming languages to understand how the code was developed and where errors or bugs may be. Microsoft developers prefer object-oriented programming languages due to their ease of use and extensive libraries of pre-developed code. As a software test engineer, you should be familiar with these languages and be able to discuss some of their features with the Microsoft interviewer.

"I am very familiar with the more common object-oriented programming languages. Some of the languages I work with frequently include Java, C, Ruby, and Python. If I'm working with the team that uses a language other than these, I am either already familiar with it, or I use online resources to research and learn the program quickly."
