1. What is Automation Testing?

Answer:
Automation Testing means using special tools or scripts to check if a software application works correctly, without doing it manually. Instead of a person checking each step, a computer runs the tests automatically. This saves time, reduces human errors, and helps test large applications faster.

2. What are some popular tools used for Automation Testing?

Answer:
There are many tools used in automation testing. Some of the most popular ones include:

Selenium: Used for testing web applications.
JMeter: For performance testing.
TestNG: A testing framework in Java.
Postman: Used for API testing.
Cypress: A newer tool for frontend testing.

These tools help write and run test cases automatically.

3. What is the difference between Manual Testing and Automation Testing?

Answer:

Manual Testing is done by a human who checks the software by clicking and using the application to find bugs.
Automation Testing uses code or tools to perform these steps automatically.

Automation is faster and more reliable for repeated tests, while manual testing is useful for checking new features or when human observation is needed.

4. What is Selenium and why is it widely used?

Answer:
Selenium is a free and open-source tool used for automating web browsers. It is popular because:

It supports multiple languages like Java, Python, and C#.
It works with all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc.).
It allows testers to write scripts to simulate user actions like clicking buttons, filling forms, etc.

Selenium is useful when companies want to test websites quickly and accurately.

5. What is a Test Case?

Answer:
A test case is a set of steps that describe how to test a feature of the application. It includes:

What input to give
What action to perform
What result to expect

For example, a test case for a login page might include entering the username and password, clicking the login button, and checking if the home page opens.

6. What is a Test Script?

Answer:
A test script is a piece of code written to automate the steps in a test case. It is used in automation testing tools like Selenium. Instead of testing manually, this script will open the browser, enter details, click buttons, and check results automatically.

7. What is Regression Testing?

Answer:
Regression Testing means testing a software again after changes (like bug fixes or new features) to make sure everything still works as expected. Automation is very useful here because we can run old test scripts again quickly and check that nothing is broken.

8. What is the difference between Verification and Validation?

Answer:

Verification checks if we are building the product correctly (are we following the right process, documents, and requirements?).
Validation checks if we have built the right product (does it meet the user’s needs?).

In simple terms:

Verification = Doing the job right.
Validation = Doing the right job.

9. Can you explain your experience with writing automation scripts?

Answer:
If you are a fresher, you can say:

“During my training, I learned to write basic automation scripts using Selenium and Java. I created test cases for login and registration forms, automated them using Selenium WebDriver, and used TestNG to manage and run test cases. I also practiced reading data from Excel files for test inputs.”

10. What do you know about IBM and why do you want to join?

Answer:
IBM is one of the oldest and most respected technology companies in the world. It is known for its innovation in AI, cloud computing, consulting, and more. I want to join IBM because:

It provides great learning opportunities.
It focuses on teamwork and employee growth.
It works with advanced technologies and global clients.

Joining IBM as a Quality Engineer will help me grow my career and learn from experts in the industry.

11. What are your strengths that make you a good fit for a Quality Engineer role?

Answer:
I am very detail-oriented and always try to find and fix even small issues. I enjoy working in teams, asking questions, and learning new tools. I have basic knowledge of automation tools and scripting languages. My ability to keep learning and improving makes me a good fit for this role.

12. How do you handle a situation when a test fails?

Answer:
When a test fails, I:

Check the logs to understand why it failed.
Re-run the test to confirm the issue.
Check if the issue is in the application or in the test script.
If it’s a real bug, I report it clearly to the developer with screenshots or logs.
After the fix, I re-run the test to make sure the issue is resolved.
