Q1. Sorting of hashmap using keys without any method. xpath for list of webelements in PageFactory. TARGET folder in maven Data Table in cucumber.
Ans. 
Sorting a hashmap using keys without any method involves iterating through the keys and rearranging them in ascending order.
• Iterate through the keys of the hashmap

• Compare each key with the next key and swap them if they are in the wrong order

• Continue this process until all keys are in ascending order

Q2. Use Set to store all the keys and then perform soting.
Ans. 
Use a Set to store unique keys and sort them for efficient retrieval and organization.
• A Set automatically handles duplicates, ensuring all keys are unique.

• Example: let keysSet = new Set(['key1', 'key2', 'key1']); // keysSet will contain 'key1', 'key2'.

• Convert the Set to an array for sorting: let sortedKeys = Array.from(keysSet).sort();

• Sorting can be done using the default sort method or a custom comparator.

• Example: sor...read more

Q2. Where you initialise driver
Ans. 
The driver is typically initialized in the setup method of a test automation framework.
• Driver initialization is usually done in a setup method before test execution.

• Commonly used methods for driver initialization include WebDriverManager, System.setProperty, and driver instantiation.

• Example: WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();

Q3. Driver is static or non static
Ans. 
Driver can be both static and non-static depending on the context of its usage.
• Driver class can be static if it is used to initiate the WebDriver instance in a test automation framework.

• Driver class can be non-static if it is used as an instance variable within a test class.

• Static driver can be accessed directly without creating an object of the class.

• Non-static driver requires an object of the class to be created befo...read more

Q4. Difference between static and non static
Ans. 
Static variables belong to the class itself, while non-static variables belong to instances of the class.
• Static variables are shared among all instances of a class

• Non-static variables are unique to each instance of a class

• Static variables are initialized only once, at the start of the program

• Non-static variables are initialized separately for each instance of the class

Q5. Disadvantages of static and non static
Ans. 
Static and non-static have their own disadvantages in QA automation testing.
• Static methods cannot be overridden or inherited, making it difficult to create flexible test cases.

• Non-static methods require an instance of the class to be created, which can lead to increased memory usage.

• Static methods can lead to tight coupling between classes, making it harder to maintain and update the code.

• Non-static methods may have de...read more

Q6. Parallel execution in TestNG
Ans. 
TestNG allows parallel execution of test cases to save time and improve efficiency.
• TestNG provides the 'parallel' attribute in the testng.xml file to specify the level of parallelism for test execution.

• Parallel execution can be achieved at the test level, class level, method level, or suite level.

• TestNG also supports parallel execution of tests across multiple classes or suites using the 'parallel' attribute in the sui...read more

Q7. Write the code for Parallel testing in TestNG
Ans. 
Parallel testing in TestNG allows running tests concurrently for faster execution.
• Use 'parallel' attribute in testng.xml file to specify parallel execution mode.

• Set 'parallel' attribute to 'methods', 'classes', or 'tests' based on the level of parallelism needed.

• Example: <suite name='MySuite' parallel='tests'>

• Use 'thread-count' attribute to specify the number of threads to use for parallel execution.

Q8. Difference between parallel methods and parallel tests
Ans. 
Parallel methods run multiple methods concurrently within a single test, while parallel tests run multiple tests concurrently.
• Parallel methods execute multiple methods within a single test class concurrently.

• Parallel tests execute multiple test classes concurrently.

• Parallel methods are useful for speeding up the execution of a single test, while parallel tests are useful for running multiple tests faster.

• Example: Runni...read more
