SQL Interview
Questions For SDETs
1. Basic SQL Queries:
- Fetch all columns from a table:
- SELECT * FROM table_name;
- Get distinct values from a column:
- SELECT DISTINCT column_name FROM table_name;
- Retrieve top N records from a table:
- SELECT * FROM table_name LIMIT N;
2. Filtering and Sorting:
- Filter rows where a column equals a value:
- SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name =
value;
- Filter rows within a range:
- SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name
BETWEEN value AND value2;
- Retrieve rows with NULL values in a column:
- SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name |S
NULL;
- Sort result set in ascending/descending order:
- SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name
ASC/DESC;
3. Aggregate Functions:
- Count total rows:
- SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_name;
- Calculate average, sum, min, max:
- SELECT AVG(column_name), SUM(column_name),
MIN(column_name), MAX(column_name) FROM
table_name;
- Group and calculate aggregates:
- SELECT column_name, AVG(salary) FROM table_name
GROUP BY column_name;
4. Joins:
- INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, FULL joins explained:
- INNER: Retrieve common rows from both tables.
- LEFT: All rows from the left table and matching rows
from the right.
- RIGHT: All rows from the right table and matching from
the left.
- FULL: All rows from both tables.
- Retrieve data from multiple tables:
- SELECT * FROM table1 JOIN table2 ON
table1.column_name = table2.column_name;
5. Subqueries:
- Using a subquery to retrieve data:
- SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name IN
(SELECT column_name FROM another_table);
- Comparing values between tables:
- SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE column_name = (SELECT
column_name FROM table2 WHERE condition);
6. Data Modification:
- Insert new record:
- INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, ...)
VALUES (value, value2, ...);
- Update records:
- UPDATE table_name SET column_name = new_value
WHERE condition;
- Delete records:
- DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;
7. Table Design and Constraints:
- Primary key vs. Foreign key differences:
- Primary key uniquely identifies a record, while a foreign
key links to another table s primary key.
- Design a table schema:
- Create table with appropriate columns, primary keys, and
foreign keys.
8. Advanced Queries:
- Retrieve the nth highest (or lowest) value:
- SELECT column_name FROM table_name ORDER BY
column_name DESC LIMIT n-1, 1;

o
are the types of locators?
ID
Name
Class Name
Xpath
CssSelector
4. What's the difference between XPath and CSS Selectors?
XPath allows traversal in both directions (parent/child), while CSS is faster but

7. What's the difference between implicit and explicit waits?
Implicit is a global setting; explicit is for specific conditions or elements.
8. What's an explicit wait, and why use it?
Explicit wait waits for a specific condition (e.g., element visibility). It's more
precise
than implicit wait.
Example:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
wait.until (ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated (By.id("usernam
e")));
9. What is Fluent Wait?

What Is Installation Testing ?
Installation testing verifies that the
software can be installed and uninstalled in
its intended environments. It ensures that
the installation process is smooth and
error-free and the software is compatible
with different operating systems (OS) and
platforms.
For example, when testing a new desktop
application, installation testing would
verify that the application installs without
issues. It also verifies that the required
files are placed in the correct directories
and that the software launches correctly
after installation.
Page Object Model (POM):
repository where we store all the WebElements. This has
become very popular in industry these days, because it is
very easy to manage, reusability of code and eliminates
duplication of code.
The key benefit if Ul changes in the future, then we can
update WebElements to Page Classes in POM or Object
Repository accordingly
Page Factory:
keeping repository objects or page classes separate from
test classes.
Here we use @FindBy to find elements and to initialize
WebElements using initElements process.
Name: Same as ID although it is not unique
CSS Selector: Works on element tags and attributes
XPath: Searches elements in the DOM, Reliable but slow
Class name: Uses the class name attribute
TagName: Uses HTML tags to locate web elements
LinkText: Uses anchor text to locate web elements
Partial Link Text: Uses partial link text to find web elements
ID-
The reference to an element is now "stale"; the element will
no longer appear on the page's DOM. In simple words, when
you started interacting with it, the element you located
using the findElement method disappeared.
Add exception handling to your action and, if the exception
is stale, try to locate the element after a simple wait for 500
milliseconds and repeat these actions until the action or
max iterations have been successful.
Here is a syntax for using the CSS selector to access the nth
attribute: <type>:nth-child(n)
Ex: tr:nth-child(2)
cannot able to inspect if there is no Alert in the screen, you
will get ‘NoAlertPresentException’
The Alert interface contains a number of APIs to execute
different actions.
The following list:
Alert alert = driver.switchto().alert();
alert.accept(); This is equivalent to the OK button action on
the dialog
alert.dismiss(); This is equivalent to clicking on the CANCEL
action button
alert.sendKeys("String"); This will allow to type in some text
into the alert
alert.getText(); This will return the text that appears on the
dialog

What is Scrum and Sprint?
1) Scrum is a framework used in Agile project management,
primarily for software development, but it can be applied to
various types of projects. It emphasizes iterative progress,
collaboration, and adaptability. Scrum involves specific roles
(such as Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development
Team), ceremonies (like Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups,
Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives), and artifacts (including
the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and Increment).
2) Sprint
A Sprint is a time-boxed iteration within the Scrum
framework, typically lasting 2 to 4 weeks. During a Sprint, a
cross-functional team works to complete a set of items from
the Product Backlog, aiming to deliver a potentially
shippable product increment. Sprints are designed to create
a predictable cycle of development and review, allowing
teams to inspect and adapt their work regularly.
In summary, Scrum is the overarching framework that
guides the process, while a Sprint is a specific, iterative
cycle within that framework.

Explain Get,
Post, Put &
Delete methods
GET
e Explanation: Retrieves data from the
server without modifying it.
e Example: GET /users/123 retrieves
the user with ID 123.
e Useful Detail: Use GET requests for
safe and idempotent operations.
POST
e Explanation: Sends data to the
server to create a new resource.
e Example: POST /users with a JSON
payload { “name”: “John Doe" }
creates a new user.
e Useful Detail: POST is neither safe
nor idempotent, so be cautious
about retrying failed POST requests.
PUT
e Explanation: Updates an existing
resource or creates a resource if it
does not exist.
¢ Example: PUT /users/123 with a
JSON payload updates the user
with ID 123.
e Useful Detail: PUT should be
idempotent, meaning repeated
requests with the same data should
produce the same result.
DELETE
e Explanation: Removes a resource
from the server.
¢ Example: DELETE /users/123 deletes
the user with ID 123.
e Useful Detail: DELETE operations
should also be idempotent.

Answer: You can use the ‘header’ method to validate
specific headers in the response. For example, checking the
‘Content-Type’ header:
given() .when() .get("/endpoint") .then() .header("Content-
Type", "application/json");
Assured?
various static methods for performing different types of
assertions on the response.
For example, Matchers.equalTo(value) is used to check if a
response value is equal to the expected value.
3) How do you perform a POST request with a JSON
Answer: To perform a POST request with a JSON payload,
you can use the body() method to include the JSON
content. For example:
given() .body("{\"key\": \"value\"}") .when() .post("/
endpoint") .then() .statusCode(201);
4) What is the purpose of the 'relaxedHTTPSValidation()'
Answer: The relaxedHTTPSValidation() method is used to
disable strict SSL certificate validation, allowing you to make
requests to HTTPS endpoints without validating the SSL
certificate.
5) What is the purpose of the
Answer: The config(JsonConfig.jsonConfig()) method is
used to configure JSON serialization and deserialization
settings. It allows you to customize how JSON data is
processed during requests and responses.
6) Explain the purpose of the
Assured.
Answer: The auth().oauth2AuthorizationCodeFlow() method
is used for OAuth 2.0 authentication using the authorization
code flow. It helps in handling the authentication process
with the authorization server.
Assured?
Answer: The auth().none() method is used to indicate that
no authentication is required for a particular request. It's
helpful when dealing with public endpoints that do not
require authentication.
Assured to continue with the execution of subsequent test
steps?
Answer: You can use the softAssertions() method from the
AssertJ library to create soft assertions, which allow the test
to continue even if there are assertion failures. For example:
SoftAssertions softAssert = new SoftAssertions();
softAssert.assertT hat(response.getStatusCode()).isEqualTo
(200);
softAssert.assertT hat(response.getBody().jsonPath().getStri
ng("name")).isEqualTo("John Doe");
softAssert.assertAll();

How to handle certificate
errors for different browsers
For Chrome:
To bypass certificate errors in Chrome, use ChromeOptions:
Set up ChromeOptions and enable the
setAcceptinsecureCerts(true) method, which tells Chrome
to ignore SSL certificate errors.
Pass this options object when creating the Chrome driver.
Example:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setAcceptinsecureCerts (true);
This configuration allows Chrome to load pages with
certificate issues without blocking access, enabling
uninterrupted testing.
For Firefox:
Firefox can similarly ignore certificate errors using
FirefoxOptions:
Create a FirefoxOptions instance and set
setAcceptinsecureCerts(true).
Use this options object to initialize the Firefox driver.
Example:
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.setAcceptinsecureCerts(true);
This approach allows Firefox to bypass certificate errors so
that pages with self-signed certificates load normally.
For Edge:
Edge follows a similar process for handling certificate
warnings:
Use EdgeOptions and enable setAcceptinsecureCerts(true).
Pass these options when creating the Edge driver.
Example:
EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
options.setAcceptinsecureCerts (true);
With this configuration, Edge will ignore certificate errors,
allowing tests to proceed without interruption.
Joins in SQL
1. INNER JOIN
Retrieves only the records that match in both tables.
Example: Employees who have recorded sales.
2. LEFT JOIN
Shows all records from the left table, plus any matches from
the right table. If no match, returns NULL.
Example: All employees, even if they have no recorded
sales.
3. RIGHT JOIN
Shows all records from the right table, plus any matches
from the left table. If no match, returns NULL.
Example: All sales, regardless of whether there’s an
employee listed.
4. FULL OUTER JOIN
Displays all records from both tables, whether they match or
not. If no match, fills with NULL.
Example: All employees and all sales, connected or not.

What is POM?
The Page Object Model (POM) is a widely used design
framework by creating an abstraction layer between test
scripts and web application pages. This design improves
code readability, reusability, and maintainability.
Key Concepts
Page Object: Each page or component of a web
application is represented as a dedicated class.
Separation of Concerns: Clearly separates test logic from
the web page's structure and behavior.
Reusable Components: Enables reusing code across
multiple test cases.
Ease of Maintenance: U/ updates require changes only in
the respective Page Object class.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts in POM
Encapsulation:
Web elements and their actions (e.g., clicks, inouts) are
encapsulated within Page Object classes.
Inheritance:
Common functionality (e.g., driver setup) is inherited
from base classes.
Abstraction:
Test scripts interact only with relevant methods, hiding
implementation details.
Polymorphism:
Enables overriding methods to customize behaviors,
such as alternative click actions (e.g., JavaScript-based
clicks).
Key Components of POM Structure
pages:
Houses Page Object classes for individual web pages
utils:
Contains utility classes for shared functionality (e.g.,
tests:
Stores test classes for specific scenarios (e.g.,
reports:
Manages test reporting tools like ExtentReportListener to
generate detailed reports.
logs:
Contains logging configurations and logs (e.g.,
Log4jConfig.xml).
screenshots:
Saves screenshots, particularly for capturing failures
during test execution.
keywords:
Includes reusable keyword-driven methods for common
actions.
resources/testng.xml:
Defines TestNG configurations, including test suites,
priorities, and settings.
Advantages of POM:
High scalability for expanding tests.
Simplifies test script maintenance by isolating UI
changes to relevant Page Objects.
Enhances code reusability and test execution efficiency.
This design pattern ensures a robust foundation for
frameworks.
la) What are different ways to handle dropdowns in
-->You can handle dropdowns using the Select
class for <select> elements, which allows you to choose
by index, visible text, or value.
-->For non-standard dropdowns, XPath or CSS
selectors combined with actions like .click() can be used.
-->lf the file input is accessible, use .sendKeys() to send
the file path to the file input field.
-->For non-accessible uploads, use tools like Robot
class, AutolT, or JavaScript-based solutions.
Explain how you would manage multiple browser
tabs/windows.
-->Use driver.getWindowHandles() to retrieve all open
window handles, then
use driver.switchTo().window(handle) to switch between
them.
-->Interviews may dig into practical applications, like
testing multiple login sessions or validating cross-tab
interactions.
leas How do you test mobile web applications using
browsers. Configuration of desired capabilities for
different mobile browsers (e.g., Chrome on Android,
Safari on iOS) is essential.
when would you use each?
-->Implicit Wait: Applies globally and waits until an
element is located or timeout.
-->Explicit Wait: Waits for specific conditions, ideal for
dynamic elements.
-->Fluent Wait: A type of explicit wait with polling
intervals, useful for highly dynamic web pages.
Ga Describe Page Object Model (POM) and Page
-->Page Object Model (POM) is a design pattern to
create an object repository for web elements, improving
test maintenance.
-->Page Factory is an extension of POM,
using @FindBy annotations to locate elements. This
helps with code readability and maintenance.
How do you handle AJAX-based web applications
-->For AJAX elements that load asynchronously,
use Explicit Waits with conditions
like visibilityOfElementLocated() to ensure elements are
ready before interacting with them.
-->Knowledge of handling stale elements due to AJAX
reloads is also beneficial.
What are some challenges you've faced with
-->Possible challenges include handling dynamic
elements, pop-ups, slow-loading pages, and flaky tests.
-->Emphasize your solutions, like custom waits, robust
locators, and optimizing test execution speed.
performance?
-->Use only necessary waits, leverage efficient locators,
minimize hard waits, and avoid unnecessary navigation.

Difference Between
Pom.xml & TestNG.xml
pom.xml and testng.xml files play important roles, but for
different purposes. The pom.xml file is used by Maven to
manage dependencies, build configurations, and
automate tasks, ensuring all necessary libraries (like
the tests directly from pom.xml, it facilitates the build
process and invokes TestNG when running tests through
Maven (using commands like mvn clean test).
-> The testng.xml file, on the other hand, is used to
define and configure test suites, classes, groups, and
execution parameters for TestNG. It allows you to specify
how tests should be executed, and can be run directly
from an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ. When running tests
through Maven, the pom.xml will trigger the TestNG
framework and execute the test scripts as defined in
testng.xml

No wrappers are created in such framework.
Blazemeter etc.
J Modular Based Testing Framework: We need to break
down the application into individual modules, a test
script is created for each part and then combined to
build larger tests in a hierarchical fashion.
Abstraction layers such as Utility, BaseTests etc. are
created to prevent any major or minor changes to the
Test files.
Examples: Mostly used with Robot Framework etc.
Library Architecture Framework: Based on using
Modular Framework, Instead of dividing the application
under test into the various scripts that need to be run,
similar tasks within the scripts are identified and later
grouped by function, so the application is ultimately
broken down by common objectives.
This library can be a code file, excel, YAML, JSON etc.
lf you see the use of Keyword driven frameworks created
using Excel files, then those are primarily created using
Library Architecture.
(J Data Driven Framework: Using a data-driven
framework separates the test data from script logic,
meaning testers can store data externally.
Setting up a data-driven test framework will allow the
tester to store and pass the input/ output parameters to
test scripts from an external data source, such as Excel
Spreadsheets, Text Files, CSV files, SQL Tables, or JDBC
repositories
suggests, a hybrid framework is a combination of any of
the previously mentioned frameworks set up to leverage
the advantages of some and mitigate the weaknesses of
others.

Different Types of Frameworks
1) Data-Driven Framework
Test data is stored externally (Excel, CSV, JSON, DB).
The script reads data and executes test cases multiple
times with different inputs.
Example: Using Apache POI to read Excel data in
2) Keyword-Driven Framework
Keywords (predefined actions) are stored in an external
file.
Test scripts execute actions based on keywords.
Example: ClickButton, EnterText, VerifyTitle.
3) Hybrid Framework
Combination of Data-Driven & Keyword-Driven.
Uses external test data along with predefined keywords.
4) Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) Framework
Uses Cucumber (Given-When-Then format).
Easy to read and understand (Gherkin language).
Example: Given user is on the login page, When user
enters valid credentials, Then user should see the
homepage.
5) Modular Framework
Tests are divided into independent modules.
Each module has reusable functions.
Example: LoginModule, SearchModule, CartModule.
Page Object Model (POM) Framework
Separates test logic from UI elements.
Uses Page Classes for each web page.
Improves maintainability and reusability.

Use of OOP's concept in
Encapsulation (Data Hiding)
Encapsulation hides locators and exposes only
necessary actions.
- Used in Page Object Model (POM) to keep locators
private and allow access via public methods.
- Example: Login page methods like ‘enterUsername() °
- Benefit: Easy maintenance, better modularity, and
improved security.
Inheritance (Code Reusability)
Inheritance allows test classes to reuse common
methods from a parent class.
- Example: ‘BaseTest’ manages browser setup,
teardown, and logging, inherited by all tests.
- Benefit: Reduces redundancy, keeps code clean, and
simplifies updates.
Polymorphism (Flexibility)
Polymorphism enables methods with the same name to
behave differently.
- Method Overloading: Multiple ‘click()* methods accept
different parameters (By, WebElement, XPath).
- Method Overriding: Custom ‘click()* with waits and
logging.
- Benefit: Increases code reuse, flexibility, and improves
readability.
Abstraction (Hiding Implementation Details)
Abstraction hides complex logic and exposes only
necessary functionality.
- Example: “DriverManager’ handles browser selection
internally, so test cases use ‘getDriver()°.
- Benefit: Enhances scalability, allows easy browser
switching, and reduces test script dependency.
V Scalable - Easily extendable.
V Maintainable - Centralized updates.
V/ Reusable —- Common functions shared.
Vv Efficient — Clean and modular structure.

Round 3( Hr Discussion)
Frequently asked Coding
Questions in SDET Interviews
oa Second Largest Digit in a String:
For example, if the input is "str1025rts", you need to find
and return the digit 2.
( Count Word Occurrences in a Sentence:
Given a string like "my name is Rohan Rohan", the goal is
to print each word along with how many times it appears.
"Rohan" > 2 times
Other words > 1 time each
& Merge Two Arrays:
For instance, if you have arr1 = {5, 3, 2} and arr2 = {9, 0,
1}, the task is to merge them into one array, resulting in
{6. 3, 2, 9,0) 1.
© Increment a Number Represented as an Array:
Consider an array like [1, 2, 9], which represents the
number 129. When you add one, the result should be [1,
3,0].
Similarly, [9, 9, 9] should become [1, 0, 0, 0].
Rearrange Array:
Given [2, 0, 4, 0, 3, 0, 5, OJ], rearrange it so all even
numbers come first and odd numbers last, like
[0,0,0,0,2,4,3,5]. (Since no explanation was given, |
assumed this approach. Another possible way could be
moving all Os to the left and non-zeros to the right.)
e Reverse Each Word in a Sentence:
Given "abc de f", reverse each word individually while
keeping spaces in place. The expected output is "fed cb
a". (No explanation was given, so | had to interpret and
solve it myself.)
