Selenium WebDriver Quality Control & Assurance 2

Question 1

In Selenium test automation, what does the Page Object Model (POM) primarily improve?

Accepted Answer

Code maintainability and reusability

Answer

POM separates UI element locators from test logic, making tests easier to maintain when the UI changes.

Question 2

Which QA practice involves running Selenium tests automatically whenever code is committed to a repository?

Accepted Answer

Continuous Integration (CI)

Answer

CI pipelines trigger automated Selenium tests on each commit to catch defects early in the development cycle.

Question 3

What is the purpose of using test data factories in Selenium QA frameworks?

Accepted Answer

To generate consistent and controlled test data programmatically

Answer

Test data factories create predictable, isolated data sets so tests do not depend on external or shared state.

Question 4

When performing cross-browser testing with Selenium, which tool allows you to run tests on multiple browsers simultaneously in the cloud?

Accepted Answer

Selenium Grid

Answer

Selenium Grid distributes test execution across multiple nodes, each running different browsers or OS configurations.

Question 5

In Selenium QA, what is a 'flaky test'?

Accepted Answer

A test that passes and fails inconsistently without code changes

Answer

Flaky tests produce unreliable results due to timing issues, dynamic content, or environment instability.
