Round 1 (Telephonic round)
Initially, I got an in-mail at LinkedIn from a recruiter regarding an open position and a call was scheduled to learn more about my experience and required skills
The call was for about 10-15 minutes, I was asked about my brief introduction and my experience in testing frameworks and projects. After that, my 1st round of interviews was scheduled.
Round 2 (Technical interview round 1)
This round was of 1.5 hours and questions were from basic to high level. We started by introducing ourselves and then he started by asking core testing questions, then I was asked to explain my project and its core features such as how are we testing everything in detail.
Then interviewer moved to the automation part and as it was a position for Robot framework automation on which I was working the questions were asked in-depth like parallel testing, keywords, frames, exception handling, headed and headless browser testing, cross-browser testing, why Robot FW, the difference between robot FW and other.
Then finally I was asked how i am managing git, git commands, merge, branching, merge conflicts etc
Round 3 (Technical interview round 2)
This round was a of total 1 hour we started with introducing ourselves and then the interviewer asked me to open my notepad and write testcases for one of their client’s applications, I was given a set of existing features and a few new features and I was asked to design test strategy and test cases for the same.
Once I was done, I was asked some core automation questions like what is POM, what types of locators, and how you run only selected test cases in Robot FW.
At last, I was asked to write on a pad the codes for automating the test cases I wrote for the client’s new feature(That the interviewer asked on 1st half)
Round 4 (Managerial round/HR round)
Unfortunately, I couldn’t reach the last round, what I realised was that I over-explained things which made it very confusing and unclear to the interviewer. Also while writing the automation codes I did not write “wait until the element is visible/enabled” statements which is practically very very important.
