My journey started with a recruiter interaction and then moved into a couple of internally technical steps. First came an internal technical round where I got asked scenario-heavy questions and had to talk through how I’d work in an agile environment. I was also questioned on testing execution thinking—like estimating how long it would take to execute about 50 test cases—and I had to explain things like the bug life cycle. Requirement handling came up too, including what I would do when a requirement document was shared, and I even got asked about a Java program.
After that, I had another technical discussion that was more in-depth and more focused on core testing concepts with a strong “go deep” feel. The topics included API testing, manual testing, and Selenium, plus Rest Assured in depth. I also had to write out code for a small reverse-string style problem, which made the interview feel more practical than purely conceptual.

After I got into the interview, most of it was centered on my project work and the core testing stack I’d listed. I had an initial technical discussion where we covered practical details from what I’d done before, and it also went deep into core Java techniques. The automation side came up clearly—Selenium, Rest Assured, and Appium were all part of the conversation, framed around how I’d use them in real daily work rather than just naming tools.
A separate technical step followed where the questions were still technical but felt a bit harder, and I had to connect the concepts to how I’d execute and structure work. Then there was a manager-level portion focused more on process and project-related discussions instead of only theory. I also felt the interview was aligned with the kinds of fundamentals and responsibilities they expected from the resume.
