Test Automation Coding Questions

Hands on ability to author and maintain automated tests and small test harnesses. Candidates should write clear, maintainable automated tests using frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium; select stable selectors and meaningful assertions; structure tests with setup and teardown, fixtures, and page object or component patterns; handle asynchronous behavior and timing issues; mock or stub external services where appropriate; write parameterized and data driven tests; and explain techniques to reduce flakiness and improve execution speed and reliability. Interview tasks may include implementing a test, debugging a flaky test, or refactoring tests for maintainability.
