Practice Questions

💡Technical Questions (3)
  • 1.The team is currently migrating our automation framework from Selenium to Playwright with Python. Can you walk me through how you would approach this migration, and why Playwright might be advantageous over Selenium?
  • 2.For this role, you'll be supporting Purchasing, Payables, and Payments applications. How would you use SQL to validate backend data and troubleshoot issues in these financial systems?
  • 3.You will be debugging issues and maintaining legacy applications with minimal supervision. When you encounter a bug in a legacy system where documentation is scarce, what is your process for isolating the issue?
🎯Behavioral Questions (3)
  • 1.This role requires you to be a quick learner, with the expectation that you'll learn the applications in your first two weeks and handle sprint tasks independently by day 30. Tell me about a time you had to ramp up on a complex system very quickly.
  • 2.We need someone who is independent and proactive, but also a confident communicator who asks questions when needed. Give me an example of a time when you hit a roadblock on a task you were handling independently. How did you resolve it?
  • 3.Tell me about a time you had to modernize an older test framework or system. What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them?
🧩Situational Questions (2)
  • 1.You are assigned a sprint task to write an automation script for a new Payables feature, but the requirements are vague and the development is still in progress. How do you proceed?
  • 2.You notice that an existing Selenium test suite for the Payments application is highly flaky and failing intermittently, causing the team to ignore the CI/CD pipeline results. What steps do you take?
