You will be able to demonstrate experience across multiple layers of an applicationโfrom validating business workflows and database results to testing APIs and using AI-assisted approaches. This combination is increasingly useful for QA professionals who want to progress toward Senior QA, Quality Engineer, API Tester or SDET-oriented roles.

๐ฏ Expected Interview Rounds at ABS
1๏ธโฃ Recruiter Screening: Expect verification of total experience, current location, notice period and ability to join within two days. Since this is an F2F requirement, Bangalore availability is likely to be checked early.
2๏ธโฃ Technical Testing Round: Questions are likely to cover Manual Testing, Functional Testing, STLC, test-case design, defect management, regression testing and real project scenarios.
3๏ธโฃ SQL + API Assessment: Be prepared to write SQL queries and validate API requests/responses. API questions may involve GET/POST/PUT/DELETE, status codes, authentication, headers, JSON and negative scenarios.
4๏ธโฃ Practical / Scenario Discussion: Candidates may be given a business feature or API and asked how they would test it, identify edge cases, prioritize defects and validate data.
5๏ธโฃ Managerial / Client Discussion: Expect discussion around previous projects, communication, ownership, stakeholder handling and how you deal with production defects or ambiguous requirements.
๐ฐ Salary Range
The job post does not specify an official salary/package. As a market reference, Glassdoor’s current Bangalore data shows Functional Tester base pay around โน4โ10 LPA, with an average base around โน5 LPA; recent reported Bengaluru examples for 4โ6 years include โน7 LPA and โน12 LPA.
Therefore, candidates can use approximately โน6โ12 LPA as an indicative market discussion range for a 3โ6 year functional/API testing profile, but this is not an ABS-confirmed salary range. Actual compensation may depend on client requirement, experience, current CTC and interview performance.
๐ Preparation Tips
๐ฅ Prepare an API testing story: Be ready to explain one real API you tested from request creation through authentication, response validation, negative testing and defect reporting.
๐๏ธ Strengthen SQL: Practice joins, GROUP BY, HAVING, subqueries, window functions and queries used to validate application data.
๐ค Prepare your AI-testing experience: Don’t simply say you use ChatGPT or another AI tool. Explain exactly how AI helped generate test scenarios, identify edge cases, analyze requirements, create test data or accelerate defect analysisโand how you manually validated AI-generated output.
๐งช Think beyond happy paths: Practice testing login, payment, registration and CRUD APIs with invalid inputs, missing fields, boundary values, authorization failures and unexpected responses.
๐ค Improve communication: Practice explaining a defect in the format: business impact โ reproduction steps โ expected result โ actual result โ evidence โ severity.
โก Prepare for immediate joining questions: Keep your availability, current location and joining date clearly communicated.
๐ Resume Tips
Make API Testing, Functional Testing, SQL and AI-assisted Testing highly visible in the top third of your resume. Avoid presenting yourself as a purely manual tester.
Use project bullets such as:
- โDesigned and executed functional and regression test suites forโฆโ
- โValidated REST APIs using Postman across positive and negative scenariosโฆโ
- โUsed SQL queries to validate backend data and identify data-integrity defectsโฆโ
- โLeveraged AI tools to generate exploratory test scenarios and improve test coverageโฆโ
