Automation Testing_Automation Quality Engineers

Automation Quality Engineer (3 to 7 years):

Develop and maintain automated test suites using Playwright for:
1.
Web applications (React/Angular)
2.
Hybrid mobile apps (Ionic/Capacitor)
3.
APIs (RESTful, GraphQL, BFF services)

Implement behavior-driven testing (BDD) using frameworks like Cucumber.

Conduct performance testing using JMeter, K6, or Artillery.

Execute accessibility testing using tools like Axe, Lighthouse, and WCAG 2.2 compliance checks.

Integrate test automation into CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or Jenkins.

Exposure to SauceLabs/LambdaTest

Ensure test reliability and low flake rates through stable environments and retry logic.

Collaborate with developers, product managers, and leads to align testing strategies with business goals.

Monitor test coverage, defect trends, and release readiness; report metrics to stakeholders.

Screening Questions:
1.
How do you design a Playwright test suite to minimize flake rate across different browsers and environments?
2.
Can you walk us through how you would automate testing for a hybrid mobile app using Playwright or complementary tools?
3.
How do you approach testing BFF (Backend-for-Frontend) services and domain APIs for both functional correctness and edge cases?
4.
Describe a scenario where behavior-driven testing helped uncover a critical issue. What tools and frameworks did you use?
5.
What strategies do you use to integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines, especially for APIs and web apps?
6.
How do you ensure accessibility compliance (e.g., WCAG 2.1 / 2.2) in automated test suites? Which tools do you prefer and why?
7.
How does Azure OpenShift container orchestration influence your test strategy and environment setup?
8.
What challenges have you faced when testing applications deployed on Azure cloud services, and how did you overcome them?
9.
What metrics do you track to evaluate the effectiveness of your automated tests and ensure low flake rates?
10.
How do you handle test data management and environment stability for consistent test execution across builds?
