Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Tell me about how you design an automation framework that is both scalable and maintainable for Walmart's QA needs.
Explain how you would structure test layers, page objects, test data, configuration, parallel execution, reporting, and CI integration. Discuss how your design would reduce flaky tests while supporting web, mobile, and API coverage.
