Selenium WebDriver Regulatory Frameworks & Compliance 2

Question 1

Which Selenium WebDriver capability is used to enforce strict SSL certificate validation for compliance-sensitive environments?

Accepted Answer

acceptInsecureCerts set to false

Answer

Setting acceptInsecureCerts to false (the default) ensures the browser rejects invalid SSL certificates, which is required in compliance-sensitive testing environments.

Question 2

Under GDPR, when your Selenium test suite captures browser screenshots that may contain PII, what is the primary obligation?

Accepted Answer

Store screenshots with encryption and apply data retention limits

Answer

GDPR applies to all PII regardless of format, so screenshots containing personal data must be encrypted at rest and subject to retention policies.

Question 3

Section 508 compliance requires that web applications be accessible to users with disabilities. Which Selenium-compatible tool is most commonly used to automate Section 508 accessibility audits?

Accepted Answer

axe-core via the axe-selenium integration

Answer

axe-core integrated with Selenium via the axe-selenium library is the industry-standard tool for automated Section 508 and WCAG accessibility auditing.

Question 4

A compliance policy prohibits automated tests from storing credentials in plain text. Which approach best satisfies this requirement in a Selenium test framework?

Accepted Answer

Retrieve credentials at runtime from a secrets manager such as HashiCorp Vault

Answer

A secrets manager retrieves credentials at runtime without persisting them in source code, environment files, or process arguments, satisfying plain-text storage prohibitions.

Question 5

PCI DSS prohibits storing sensitive authentication data after authorization. If Selenium tests target a payment flow, which practice is required?

Accepted Answer

Use tokenized or masked card numbers in test data rather than real card data

Answer

PCI DSS forbids storing or transmitting real cardholder data in test environments; tokenized or test-specific card numbers must be used instead.
