Question 1

What is the purpose of a teardown (cleanup) step in functional test automation?

Accepted Answer

To restore a clean state after a test

Answer

Teardown removes test-created data or state so subsequent tests start clean.

Question 2

Which approach helps automated tests handle dynamic element IDs?

Accepted Answer

Use stable attributes like data-test or partial matches

Answer

Stable custom attributes or partial-text matching avoid breakage from auto-generated IDs.

Question 3

What is the key difference between functional and non-functional testing?

Accepted Answer

Functional checks what the system does; non-functional checks how well

Answer

Functional testing verifies behavior against requirements, while non-functional checks qualities like speed or security.

Question 4

Why are explicit assertions preferred over relying only on no-exception execution?

Accepted Answer

They explicitly verify expected outcomes, catching silent failures

Answer

Without assertions a test may pass even when the feature is broken but does not throw an error.

Question 5

What is a data-driven test?

Accepted Answer

A test run multiple times with different input sets

Answer

Data-driven tests execute the same logic across multiple parameterized data sets.
