1. Technical Round(s)

Expect a deep dive into both Selenium automation and Java fundamentals.

Selenium & Frameworks

Questions may cover concepts like POM vs Page Factory, waits, locators, Selenium Grid, handling pop-ups, screenshots, and frame handling.

You may be asked to explain your automation framework, including its structure, modules (like Test, Driver, Reporting), integration with CI/CD, TestNG, and data-driven approach.

Java Programming

Expect coding tasks such as string reversal, pattern printing, collections (duplicate detection, second-largest element), reading/writing to Excel or properties files, and array manipulations without using built-in methods.

Also prepare for OOP and Java concepts like inheritance, interfaces, overloading/overriding, throw vs throws, final, finally, finalize, and static vs non-static, and constructor usages.

Scenario/Framework Design Discussion

You might need to walk through your current or past automation framework, explain how you handled test data, parallel execution, CI integration, error logging, and reports.

1. Managerial or Technical-Behavioral Round

This round often involves scenario-based or managerial questions, such as:

• How do you prioritize test cases?
• How do you report automation status to the client?
• Describe your client interaction experience.
• Explain a challenge you handled when working solo.

1. HR Round

What is the difference between Selenium RC, WebDriver, and Selenium Grid?

How do you capture screenshots in Selenium?

How to verify broken links using Selenium?

What is the difference between relative locators in Selenium 4 and traditional locators?
