• How do you structure TestNG/JUnit suites (grouping, parallel execution, testng.xml or JUnit tags) for regression, smoke, and feature-level runs?
• How are your automated tests integrated into the CI/CD pipeline (e.g., Jenkins, Cloud Bees, Bitbucket pipelines)? Describe the end-to-end flow from commit to test execution.
• In your framework, how do you organize Java packages and classes (page objects, utilities, runners, POJOs, etc.)?
• Explain how you handle exceptions in your automation code. Do you use custom exceptions? Give an example.
• Describe how you use the database in your testing: what kinds of validations or setups you perform via SQL during UI/API tests.
