Basic Test Scripting Questions

Ability to write simple automated test scripts in Python or JavaScript to verify functional behavior. Candidates should demonstrate use of variables, common data structures, control flow such as loops and conditionals, functions, and clear assertion statements. Expect writing small test functions or scripts using standard test runners or assertion libraries, basic setup and teardown, parameterization of inputs, simple use of mocks or stubs, reading and writing test data, running tests from the command line, and basic debugging and logging to diagnose failures.
