Your question is Frontend and Backend Automation Frameworks. Take a moment with it on the right.

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).

You need to log in / sign up to chat or submit.

Problem

Explain how you would implement the frontend and backend automation frameworks from your current project from scratch in Python.

Asked in the Round 1 stage. The interviewer dug into fine implementation details.

Discuss the practical architecture you would create, including project structure, test execution, reusable components, environment configuration, reporting, and CI integration. Explain how frontend tests would interact with browser surfaces and how backend tests would validate APIs, authentication, data, and service dependencies. Cover how you would manage test data, parallel execution, retries, cleanup, logging, and failure diagnosis. Be specific about design choices, Python libraries, and how you would prevent flaky tests and duplication.
