- Q3. Explain polymorphism
- Ans.
Polymorphism is the ability of a single function or method to operate on different types of data.
Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.
There are two types of polymorphism: compile-time (method overloading) and runtime (method overriding).
Example of compile-time polymorphism: function overloading in Java.
Example of runtime polymorphism: method overriding in Java

Frameworks can be structured as linear, modular, data-driven, keyword-driven, or hybrid.
Example: In a data-driven framew...
- Q3. Difference between findelement and findelements
- Ans.
findelement returns the first matching element on a webpage, findelements returns a list of all matching elements.
findelement returns a single WebElement, findelements returns a list of WebElements
findelement throws NoSuchElementException if no element is found, findelements returns an empty list
Example: driver.findElement(By.id("exampleId")) vs driver.findElements(By.className("exampleClass"))
- Q4. How to handle multiple tabs in selenium
- Ans.
Handling multiple tabs in Selenium involves switching between tabs and performing actions on each tab.
Use getWindowHandles() to get a set of window handles
Switch to a specific tab using switchTo().window(handle)
Perform actions on the tab
Close the tab if needed using driver.close()
- Q5. Explain about hashmaps
- Ans.
Hashmaps are data structures that store key-value pairs and allow for efficient retrieval of values based on keys.
Hashmaps are also known as dictionaries, maps, or associative arrays.
They use a hash function to map keys to indices in an underlying array.
Hashmaps offer constant-time average case complexity for insertion, deletion, and lookup operations.
Example: HashMap
- Q6. Why we use try and catch
- Ans.
Try and catch blocks are used in programming to handle exceptions and prevent the program from crashing.
Try block is used to enclose the code that might throw an exception
Catch block is used to handle the exception thrown in the try block
It prevents the program from crashing and allows for graceful error handling
Can also include finally block to execute code regardless of whether an exception is thrown
- Q7. What is inheritance
- Ans.
Inheritance is a concept in object-oriented programming where a class can inherit attributes and methods from another class.
Allows a class to inherit attributes and methods from another class
Promotes code reusability and reduces redundancy
Creates a parent-child relationship between classes
Derived class can access the properties and methods of the base class
Example: Class 'Car' can inherit from class 'Vehicle'

(2 Questions)
- Q1. What is Hard assert
- Ans.
Hard assert is a type of assertion in test automation that stops the test execution immediately when a failure occurs.
Hard assert is used to validate the expected outcome of a test case
If the assertion fails, the test execution is halted and marked as failed
It is commonly used in automated test scripts to ensure the correctness of the application under test
- Q2. What is soft assert
- Ans.
Soft assert is a way to continue the execution of a test case even after an assertion failure.
Soft assert does not stop the execution of the test case when an assertion fails.
It is useful when you want to log the failure but continue with the remaining test steps.
Soft assert is commonly used in test automation frameworks like TestNG in Java.
