Core Java Automation Testing - Quick Answer
Notes
This document provides concise interview-oriented answers for every module in the
uploaded syllabus.
1. Introduction to Java
Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language. JDK contains
development tools, JRE provides runtime, and JVM executes bytecode.
2. Basics of Java
Covers program structure, primitive data types, operators, keywords, access modifiers
and writing the first Java program.
3. Control Flow
if, if-else, nested if, switch statements control program execution.
4. Loops
for, while, do-while, break, continue and nested loops repeat logic.
5. Methods
Methods improve reusability. Understand parameters, return values, overloading and
signatures.
6. Variables
Local, instance and static variables differ in scope and lifetime.
7. OOP
Classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, encapsulation, interfaces,
this, super and final.
8. Collections
List, Set, Map and Queue store and manipulate groups of objects efficiently.
9. Exception Handling
Use try-catch-finally to handle runtime errors gracefully.
10. Automation Testing
Automation improves speed and repeatability but is not suitable for every test.
11. Selenium Basics
Selenium automates browsers. Components include WebDriver, Grid and IDE.
12. Selenium WebDriver
Browser automation using WebDriver API, browser commands and waits.
13. Locators
ID, Name, ClassName, TagName, LinkText, PartialLinkText, CSS Selector and XPath.
14. UI Testing Part 1
Handle alerts, windows, navigation, edit boxes, radio buttons and checkboxes.
15. UI Testing Part 2
Dropdowns, Actions class, drag-drop, mouse hover, scrolling and resize.
16. UI Testing Part 3
Frames, file upload, screenshots, web tables and calendars.
17. TestNG
Annotations, assertions, listeners, reports and parallel execution.
18. Maven
Project build tool using [Link] for dependency management.
19. Cucumber
BDD using Gherkin syntax with Feature, Scenario, Given, When, Then.
20. Jenkins
CI/CD automation server to build, test and deploy applications.
21. API Testing
REST vs SOAP, HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), status codes and Postman.
22. SQL
DDL, DML, WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, HAVING, LIKE, IN, BETWEEN and aggregate
functions.
23. Project
Understand requirements, framework design, execution, reporting and real-time
automation scenarios.
