1. Why Automation Testing?
All Interview Questions (https://www.wisdomjobs.com/e-university/all-skillsets-interview-
Answer : Automation testing improves efficiency of testing.
questions.html)
Reduced testing efforts and costs.
Testing can be replicated across different platforms.
Gives accurate results.
Usually used for large applications with stringent deadlines.

2. When Will You Automate A Test?

Answer : Automation in preferred in following cases

Repetitive Tasks
Smoke and Sanity Tests
Test with multiple data set
Regression test cases

3. Explain Load Testing On Websites?

Answer : To access a website, a user sends a “request” to that website’s server, and the server
sends back a response in the form of the website you want to access. To load test a website, quality
assurance engineers and automation engineers just need to multiply the number of responses sent to
simulate different traffic loads. The web server’s response to the influx of virtual users can then be
measured. This is used to determine performance issues and server capacity.

Run time data table can be used for persisting values

5. When You Will Not Automate Testing?

Answer : One should not automate in following cases :

When the Application Under Test changes frequently
One time test cases
Adhoc – Random testing

6. Are You Familiar With Selenium? If Yes, What Is It?

Answer : Selenium is a suite of software testing and automation tools built for web applications.
Using Selenium, software tests can be written in languages like Java, Perl, Python, and more. The
framework itself can be deployed on the three major operating systems: Windows, Mac, and Linux.

7. What Is Build Verification Testing, Bvt?

Answer : Build Verification Testing is a group of tests that execute on every newly build of products
for verification in which the build is testable prior to the release of build into the hands of the test team.
The main stream functionality of the application software is tested using BVT. BVT lets the developers
know if any serious problems exist with the build. They save the test team time and frustration by
avoiding the test of an unstable build.

8. What Are The Steps Involved In The Automation Process ?

Answer : In the automation process, steps involved are

Selecting the Test tool

Rational Robot is an automated testing tool for functional and regression testing for automating
Windows, Java, IE and ERP applications which run on Windows platform. The test cases for common
objects such as lists, bitmaps, and menus are provided by Rational Robot. It also provides specialized
test cases for objects those are specific for development environment. The tools like Relational Test
Manager, Rational Clear Quest and Requisite Pro are integrated in the Rational Unified Processor for
Change Management, Requirement Traceability and Defect Tracking. It also supports UI technologies
such as VS.NET controls, Web, Java, Oracle Forms, Borland Delphi and Sybase Power Builder
applications.

Answer : Load tests, sanity tests, and regression tests are the sorts of tests a quality engineer
would typically automate.

15. What Are The Risks Associated In Automation Testing?

Answer : The risks of Automation Testing are:

Do you have skilled resources? The automation testing demands resources with some
knowledge about programming. Focus on the resources. Identify whether the resources have
proper knowledge for automation testing. Are they capable to adapt easily to the new
technologies? These measures are to be well assessed for building an automation testing team.
The initial cost for automation is high. The initial cost for automation is too high for initial
setup. It costs automated tool purchase, training ad maintenance of the test scripts. The
unsatisfied customer base is high for automation testing their products. It should be ensured
that the cost compensates the testing results.
If UI is not fixed, do not thing about automation: Prior to automating the user interface, it
should strongly be determined that, whether the UI is changing extensively or the cost of the
automated script maintenance is high or not.
Make sure that the application is stable enough: To automate the early development cycle
unless or otherwise it is Agile environment, would not be a good idea. It costs script
maintenance cost very high.
Stop automating the tests which run once: Ensure that certain test cases might be running
once and not included in the regression testing. Avoid automating such test modules.

3/21/2018 Top 100 Automation Testing Interview Questions - Most Automation Testing Interview Questions and Answers | Wisdom Jobs

Designing the tools and tests to run software through takes a lot of manual, human effort, though there
are frameworks and tests ready made for engineers to use. Even with automated testing, human error
is still a factor – tools can be buggy, inefficient, costly, and sometimes even technologically limited in
what kinds of tests they can run on their own.

19. What Are The Pre-requisites To Start Automation Testing?

Answer : The first step is to segregate the different test cases that are to be automated, followed
by preparing test data as per the needs of the test cases. Reusable functions need to be written which
are frequently used in those test cases. Later test scripts are prepared by using reusable functions and
apply loops and conditions wherever necessary.

In a nut shell, the following are the pre-requisites for starting automation testing:
Build should always be stable
Get the functionalities to repeat
Filtering the automated test cases
