Ultimate Care Flashcards
Can you walk us through a recent automation project you’ve worked on?
In my current role in the e-commerce department, automation testing plays a critical role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our software. We use Selenium for browser-based end-to-end testing, which allows us to automate user interactions with the website. For example we automate end to end user transactions from browsing products to complete purchases and automating the entire checkout process.
We use automated regression tests to ensure new code does not introduce any new bugs and re-running a suite of automated tests on the entire application after a new feature is added to ensure that existing features still work as expected.
How do you approach developing and maintaining automation workflows?
I follow a structured approach:
Understand the process – Work closely with stakeholders to identify repetitive tasks and pain points.
Design the workflow – Map out steps using tools like Power Automate or UiPath.
Develop the automation – Use scripting languages like Java and integrate APIs where necessary.
Testing – Conduct unit tests, regression tests, and user acceptance testing (UAT) to ensure reliability.
Deploy and monitor – Implement version control and logs for easy maintenance.
Have you integrated APIs between multiple systems before? What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them?
