Sample questions

A taste of the difficulty level — click a question to reveal the answer.

Q1. A spelling mistake in the company logo on the homepage is typically…Click to reveal answer ▾

A. High severity, high priority

B. Low severity, high priority ✓

C. High severity, low priority

D. Low severity, low priority

Why: Technically trivial (low severity) but brand-damaging on the most-visited page, so the business wants it fixed immediately (high priority) — the classic severity/priority example.

Q2. Smoke testing is performed to…Click to reveal answer ▾

A. Test every feature in depth

B. Check whether a new build is stable enough for further testing ✓

C. Verify one specific bug fix

D. Measure performance under load

Why: Smoke tests are broad and shallow — critical paths only — to decide if the build deserves deeper testing. Verifying one fix is retesting; deep checks after a change are sanity testing.

Q3. Which Selenium locator is generally the fastest and most reliable?Click to reveal answer ▾

A. XPath

B. id ✓

C. linkText

D. className

Why: IDs are unique in valid HTML and browsers resolve them natively — fastest and least brittle. XPath is the flexible fallback, not the first choice.

Q4. driver.findElements(By.id("x")) finds no elements. What happens?Click to reveal answer ▾

A. NoSuchElementException is thrown

B. It returns null

C. It returns an empty list ✓

D. The test stops

Why: findElements returns an empty List when nothing matches — no exception. It is findElement (singular) that throws NoSuchElementException, which makes findElements the safe presence check.

Q5. Regression testing means…Click to reveal answer ▾

A. Re-running a failed test after its fix

B. Testing new features only

C. Re-running existing tests to confirm a change broke nothing else ✓

D. Testing without test cases

Why: Regression protects the neighbourhood around a change. Re-running the one failed test after a fix is retesting — interviewers ask this pair constantly.
