Interview Questions
- How would you design an automation framework to test a complex desktop application used in semiconductor equipment?
- Explain how you analyze and decompose a large software system to identify critical test scenarios and automation candidates.
- Describe your experience with Python/pytest (or similar) for building reusable test suites across API, web, and desktop layers.
- How do you derive test cases from customer use-cases, marketing requirements, and product objectives for an industrial product?
- Walk through a defect you found via automation—how you isolated it, communicated it, and verified the fix.
- How would you approach adding automation to an existing legacy system without breaking current workflows?
- Describe working with deployment/engineering teams to validate builds and manage final quality before production releases.
- What techniques do you use to recognize risks and hidden errors in complex applications (e.g., concurrency, performance, edge conditions)?
- How do you stay updated on new testing tools, methodologies, and trends, and decide when to adopt them?
- Explain a situation where your test insights influenced product design or improved testability.
Selection Process
- Application screening for BE/BTech and 2–4 years SDET/automation background with strong programming and test methodology knowledge.
- Technical interviews on programming (often Python/OO), test design, automation frameworks, and understanding of complex/industrial software systems.
- Scenario-based QA discussions around analyzing software flows, coordinating with cross-functional teams, and managing defect life cycle and production quality.
- Behavioral round assessing communication, time management, ownership, and passion for testing and continuous improvement.
Pro Tip
Prepare a detailed case study where you:
- Designed or extended an automation framework (preferably Python/pytest or similar) for a multi-module application.
- Show how you selected tools, structured tests (smoke, regression, acceptance), and improved coverage and release confidence.
- Bring sample test code and a short “quality report” style summary to demonstrate both technical depth and clear communication.
