I applied through an employee referral. There was a total of four rounds of interview for the automation testing profile.

• Telephonic screening: Basic questions on Java, Selenium, and Appium.
• Assignment: There was a question to place an eyeglasses order using Selenium WebDriver.
• Face-to-face: This checked coding skills and you should be aware of Java programs. The interviewer checked concepts in depth, such as heap, stack, queue, and HashMap.
• Manager round: Normal questions on testing.
• VP round: Sample coding using an online website.

The topics covered include the framework difference between abstract and interface, and the locator hierarchy of ID, name, CSS, XPath, class name, link text, and partial link text. There was overloading in Selenium, specifically switch to frame. The questions also covered static variables, methods, and blocks, as well as final, finally, and finalize. The interview included which part of memory the garbage collector will be called on, object memory allocation, encapsulation, desired capabilities, and Appium architecture.
