Dear Hiring Manager,

Sample interview questions
I have developed automated test frameworks using Selenium with Java and Python for UI testing, and REST Assured for API testing. I also used TestNG and JUnit for test execution and reporting.
I have integrated test suites with Jenkins by creating pipeline scripts that trigger tests on code commits. For example, I configured Jenkins to run regression tests after each build and report results via email and Slack.
I would validate status codes, response payloads, headers, and error handling. I also check for performance and security, using tools like Postman for manual testing and automation with REST Assured.
I once found a data inconsistency in a production release. I immediately communicated with the team, rolled back the change, and created a test case to prevent recurrence. I also conducted a root cause analysis.
I prioritize based on risk and impact, focusing on critical functionalities and areas with recent changes. I use a risk-based testing approach and collaborate with stakeholders to align on priorities.
