Q2. Software Testing Question
Write the difference between Test Stub and Test Driver.
Ans. 
Test driver and test stub, both are types of test harness that are used to provide a simulation environment for testing a module or component. They both are dummy modules specially created for test purposes. 

Test stubs: Test stubs are used in a top-down testing approach and allow testing of the upper levels of the code when the lower levels of the code are not developed yet. It is used as ‘called programs’ when su...read more

Q3. Software Testing Question
What is the importance of agile testing?
Ans. 
Agile testing is basically a software testing process that uses agile methodologies i.e., follow test-first design paradigm. It evaluates the software from the customer's point of view. It does not require any development team to complete coding for starting QA, instead of testing and coding can go hand in hand. Features are tested as they are developed. Some of its advantages include : 

1) Boosts the performance a...read more

This round had questions revolving around Automation Testing , Selenium and Cucumber.

Q1. Automation Testing Question
How do you automate the testing of CAPTCHA?
Ans. 
It’s not possible to automate the testing of CAPTCHA. That is the goal behind any good CAPTCHA strategy. By
definition, a computer can’t automate it. If it could, then it’s not a good challenge that you can use in your application.

However, if you need to test an application that uses CAPTCHA, you have to work with the development team to
build a workaround or a back door that allows the automated test to bypass the CAPTC...read more

What is Protractor?
Ans. 
Protractor is an open-source automated testing framework that allows you to perform end-to-end testing of your web
applications. It’s built on top of WebDriverJS. Protractor is developed by Google and is especially used for testing
Angular applications.
