SDET Automation Mock Interview - 8+ YOE (Selenium, Java, API, Testing)

[@sohailvirkPHPDeveloper]

The Questions he asked: What is the API gateway? What is a load balancer? What is selenium architecture? What are the 5 Major things/disadvantages of selenium? OTP, Captcha, Desktop What are the alerts in selenium and which API can you handle it? How to handle multiple windows in selenium? How can we get the attribute of SVG or shadow DOM element? What is the importance of TestNG listeners why do we use TestNG listeners? What is the QA/QC Layman language? For example, if you have 100 test cases and all of the test cases are dependent on the first case, is it a good approach? What are assertions? And how many assertions would you prefer to write in 1 test case? What are the soft & hard assertions? Do you prefer to maintain a testcases by using priorities? Priority can we negative, zero & common? If in TestNG all the test cases have the same priority which test case will run first? Why unit testing is preferable? Java Why FindElements return a list? What is the default capacity of ArrayList? How does a Hash Map work internally? Where are string objects stored in the memory? Why strings are immutable?

Very good mock interview, I like her confidence,patience and positivity in taking complicated questions with unnecessary distractions in the back which can disturb anyone.But she stayed strong and gave good & honest answers.

[@ghummakad_premi]

Important points to test when testing API - 1. Response codes 2, Data Sanctity, 3. Error scenarios. 4. Auth tests. 5. Performance tests if any. 6. System integration tests ( if records is created in DB or other record keeping systems).

[@diyamagicadventuresday9414]

Thank you

[@harishpandey3267]

Scenarios based question she not answered properly n having 8 years of experience she don't have basic knowledge of git n github action is quite strange.....that is the things that we do in our daily practice....but she answered well on theoretical question, but I would say thanks to Naveen for asking really good questions......overall it was an good interview

[@rohitcmrec]

I can relate the situation. I was also going through the same set of Live interviews and finally joined a MNC, credit goes to Naveen 😊

[@nikhiljain6907]

Saying "Obviously" for not too obvious things is a No No in an interview. Thanks Naveen for sharing the live interview session and to understand how it feels to be on the other side of interview.

[@shazshaz8303]

Naveen. Im from US and i just want to tell you that u have inspired me so much. I dont have any IT background. I did Literature in university. While studying automation, it was only your language that I could relate to and understand so clearly. You only specify whats important to know and why its important. I recommended ur videos to many of my non-indian friends. They all loved them. I hope I 'll be able to meet you someday and thank you for your amazing videos. Always concise and to the point, which is what i was looking for. Your advices are amazing and everything that you suggest and highlight are gems of knowledge. I just recently got an sdet job in a great company with amazing team. It was the first company tht i applied. Will still continue to be charged by ur videos. Take care and God bless.

[@Tweetybird5994]

How did u prepare for a job?

[@cashedge1]

One common mistake every one do is not listening carefully , when interviewer said I need 5 imp point for api , just we need to say, I will verify success, fail, response code , response schema validation, authentication is working, etc something which is must , if we ans to the point I personally feel it has very very good impact on interviewer

[@kumarrdy5420]

Exactly

[@utsavpanchal1605]

True.. rather roaming around words.... Say it clearly.... It is issue with listening or sometimes not able to understand simple English.....

[@shwetasuman2515]

wow i am so impressed how well she did ,even though there were so many distractions 😌.

[@CrypticUNS]

Instead of relying on a KT and making it a bottleneck, you can look at buisness processes, look at exisiting documentation (end-to-end flow charts, recordings) as well as run the core automation scripts to see the user journey. During playing the automated script you can pause and step through, to see the inputs or how to use the application. An alternative to receive a KT from testers/managers is to approach the business analysts directly and see if they have documentation to help - which they usually do. Great video overall, thanks

[@ghummakad_premi]

Monotlith - Mono means 1, microservices = many. In monolith, there is a single interaction layer - so there will be FE -> BE -> DB ( single BE, which contains the whole service code, and business logic), whereas in microservices, there are separate services catering to different areas of applications.

[@shubhamdaud2470]

👍

[@naveenbabu5590]

Monolithic is entire application deployed into each individual servers, micro services is each service we can deployed into multiple services with multiple configurations also. Monolithic debugging is easy, micro services debugging is difficult. In monolithic if any issues occurred in the service we have to fix it and deploy the application into each servers. In micro services if any service fails, after fix that service we can deploy that service only into particular server.

[@venkat-JAKKEPALLI]

No need to prepare for interview seperatley.. If we gone through this video will get all topics conceptually.. Thanks naveen..

[@priteshms]

I learnt so many new things from Naveen Automation lab which was very helpful to land into my dream company. I am so grateful that i got connected with this youtube channel.

[@johndee1148]

i like her confidence and attitude during the interview

[@sandeeppendyala3899]

Was that sarcasm!

[@shashikantmirji1344]

One of the best KZbin channel for manual testing and Automation testing

[@abhilashg1368]

I liked the question at 1:12:39, should be asked in every interview for every team lead. I saw many senior members dont ask juniors regarding clarifications related to frameworks or latest tech. And later they try to blame juniors for the mistake they commit because they have power. Not generalising but what I have observed.

[@deepakrevankar1717]

Kudos to Naveen for doing this... Gives lot of confidence

[@sravaniraavi426]

Learnt alot from this video....even made notes for some of the questions....Kudos to ur feedback naveen....each and evry point very well explained.... After hearing ur feedback she didn't even say thanks to u..😒

[@sunils2111]

She has done well. She look like 2-3 years hands on automation. She is smart, good communicator and situation conscious. Technically average in terms of depth of knowledge but perfect manager material. I m sure if I were in her place I would have done worse .. :D

[@navathutejomai1038]

Sir I used to have eye stuck to tv when Ganguly used to bat, Federer used to play tennis, same fan feeling i have for you sir, you inspire me most .

[@reenaaggarwal9339]

Naveen Sir is so much knowledgeable. The lady performed really well in the interview 😊

[@kshipra4504]

Hi Naveen!! Can you make a video like where person's experience is just opposite shown in this video -- 6.5 years in manual and 2 years around in UI automation? (total exp: 8.5)

[@XFaramir]

Naveen great work, you have a lot of patience.

[@muhammadnauman4468]

Fan of this man ..Really amazing ...

[@elva136]

Awesome interview. She is quite knowledgeable.

[@brijdeb]

Very good situational interview Naveen. Lots of learning here. Loved it.

[@MrRahul-hz5hq]

[@k.ravichandra1049]

THANKS A TON NAVEEN , ITS REALLY WORTHY AND VERY HELPFUL. IT GAVE A CRYSTAL CLEAR IDEA ON HOW THE LATEST TREND OF INTERVIEWS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

[@shibapiano6946]

Great.. please take interview for 10+ years of experience.

[@BeingPunjabiz44]

I am also waiting for 10+ years exp interview video

[@abhilashg1368]

Lets be honest, there are only handful of people who are actually having 10+ years of automation experience. Selenium webdriver became more prominent in last 5 years or so. Previously UFT was present people still call it as QTP LOL.

[@ghummakad_premi]

@@abhilashg1368 There are a lot of people with 10+ year experience. Selenium experience is different from testing experience. And I believe automation interview will include both UFT/Selenium or any other tools.

[@navathutejomai1038]

Sir your patience when you listen to the candidate is super. Candidate has very Good knowledge in some areas, some she is not able to answer.but kudos to you, you are analizing the candidate is super.🤩

[@kushmaanand3856]

What's schema testing? Pls explain

[@apoorvau5741]

Captcha can be automated which is in text format..I read in one blog..

[@prachijoshiporwal3353]

Question I have automated twilio OTP flow through API so when we say otp cannot be automated in selenium thats only because selenium webdriver cannot not used to automate right ?? But it can be automated through APIs if we have accountID and authtoken Is that correct ?

[@mnsayeed999]

So that is a limitation of selenium because it can't be done with selenium. Similarly captcha also poses a restriction for selenium. Though, both these scenarios can be handled gracefully in lower environments by restricting the OTP to a single constant value

[@testinginsights-muktasharma]

Lesson learnt here is we must prepare well for mock interviews (especially before facing Naveen Khunteta) as well as this can help in increasing one's confidence and morale. If you perform well in mock interviews,it will boost your confidence and chances of cracking real time interviews goes up. Although this is mock interview but yes if we treat it exactly like a real interview, this could be wonderful opportunity to enhance your technical and communication skills. Naveen grilled the candidate...Great interview overall and very impressive feedback is given to Shikha. Good luck!

[@cashedge1]

Naveen is Wikipedia of questions, I think he can ask questions from any area depending on candidates ability

[@testinginsights-muktasharma]

@@cashedge1 especially depending upon what a candidate has put up in her/his resume and how he/she has introduced herself.

[@amuhak20]

Also, sitting in closed room. If someone roaming behind candidate all the time is not good. Need to respect interview even if it's mock.

[@thendral7869]

Naveen, thank you. very useful for me. Good thing I am with you for learning myself

[@vilasgiri]

Thank you Naveen sir, good interview taken.

[@abhilashg1368]

30 mins into the interview, I can see candidate mood changed entirely.. As soon as Selenium Questions started candidate became pretty nervous as questions went from trivial to real time questions. 8+ years of experience ???

[@vikramd7896]

Thanks Naveen. Learned so many things in mock interview videos.

[@i.ravi2806]

A really good session, learnt lot of things. Thanks Naveen :)

[@aniruddhapssinghgehlot5471]

Sir ! hats off to the girl ! ! ! i would hab been already yellow ! Thank you for the eye opener !!!!!!!

[@i.am.sameer]

Understanding the question and being relevant to the question while answering is also very important in an interview. For example- Exploratory testing, CICD integration among others.. answers to these questions should have been more relevant...

[@rahultripathi2005]

how about authentication first in API(post man or some other tool ) approach so that you communicating with the right server

[@codenissi]

Thanks, Naveen for sharing this.

[@gangarajumahesh1674]

Naveen, can you please provide timestamps for lengthy videos like these..For instance, intro, questions on API's, questions on selenium, questions on Jmeter, feedback etc. Btw, you're doing a great work and your videos really help me improve my command over automation.

[@rajann44]

Nice idea 💡

[@AvitaD1]

Hi Sir What model can be used for estimation for Automating a web application

[@rahultripathi2005]

Create a checklist -prioritise the Module-test cases with highest business & functional impacted for that particular release..

[@rishavmanna4399]

that kt question made it clear.. if you always reach out to manager for small small things... then 😐

[@yashsharma261]

Would you tell me, without coding which cloud automation tool good(trending) for learning - beginners. Also where to learn. Creating sample QA sheets - project examples?? If any. ..

[@nikalastsk6275]

any good courses for beginers in QA automation ?

[@sssaamm29988]

Hi Naveen,how can we check/validate the schema of the an api response ?

[@praneshda6153]

In our project, we check the schema or the metadata with the existing XML design package. This package was provided by a company that provides a standard that need to be followed. All i have to provide is stored metadata local file, the package takes care the rest, this test goes in iteration. So we run the test again and again untill there is no errors

[@shreyayum4998]

What is non-flutter mobile app mean?

[@pimpomfossils]

I have interview on monday..and i have no knowledge on api as i have never done that..just know postman and few crud functions..but i am good at web automation. Wondering wheather they will hire me even if i do good in interview. 8+ exp . Any suggestions guys

[@LearnWithNeeraj777]

All companies will not expect a same resource to do both front end and back end testing. If you are good in front end testing,you are good to go.. meanwhile you can just read some error codes in api call and that will do , all the best

[@sandeeppatole5856]

You will do excellent. Dont worry, dont get nervous. If get hired, refer me as well :)

[@divya-xs3tx]

Hi Naveen, please reply me. I have 9+ years of experience in manual testing. My current CTC is 12 LPA approx. I am learning selenium from your KZbin channel. How much hike I can expect if I want to switch my job?

[@MusiQ8dict]

20+ tak.. depends on your confidence

[@sainath3220]

20LPA

[@vinaysigedar3700]

As per my experience hike differs company to company.. Say like for service based company for getting first offer you can expect 30-40% hike. For product based company for getting first offer u can expect 50% or higher. But again hike also depends on how well your interview went and once u get one offer you can always get counter offers and the hike could go on and on.

[@vinaysigedar3700]

But i would suggest while switching do not consider only hike as the parameter. There are lot of parameters that one should consider while switching jobs.
