I’m happy to share that my recent interview experience went really well! Most of the discussion was focused on API testing, Java programming, and related real-time problem-solving scenarios. I was able to confidently explain my approach, cover edge cases, and demonstrate a deep understanding of service testing, request/response handling, and framework design — especially around REST APIs and automation strategies.
I successfully cleared both the technical round and the managerial round. The technical round primarily tested my hands-on skills with Java, API automation frameworks, and debugging techniques, while the managerial round focused more on my project experience, decision-making, ownership, and how I handle challenges in real-world scenarios.
