- Automation: Selenium / Playwright / Cypress
- Frameworks: TestNG / JUnit / PyTest / Cucumber
- API: Postman, REST APIs, HTTP methods, JSON
- Database: SQL, database validation and data integrity testing
- DevOps: Git, CI/CD, Jenkins or similar tools
- Testing: Functional, regression, integration, end-to-end and exploratory testing
- Process: SDLC, STLC, Agile/Scrum and defect life cycle
- SDET Practices: Page Object Model, reusable utilities, test data management, parallel execution and automation reporting
๐ฏ Expected Interview Rounds
For an experienced SDET position, expect:
- Round 1 โ Technical Screening: Resume discussion, automation fundamentals and programming.
- Round 2 โ Automation/Technical Interview: Selenium/Playwright, framework design, API testing, SQL, CI/CD and real-world troubleshooting.
- Round 3 โ Client/Managerial Discussion: Project ownership, communication, Agile practices and scenario-based QA questions.
- Round 4 โ HR/Final Discussion: Compensation, notice period, location, work mode and joining details.
Public Indeed interview insights currently describe Wildnet’s overall interview experience as around a week, although timelines can vary by role and hiring team.

- ๐ Prepare API scenarios using Postman and REST concepts, including authentication, status codes, JSON validation and negative testing.
- ๐๏ธ Practice SQL queries involving joins, grouping, subqueries and validation of application data against database records.
- ๐ Understand how you would trigger automation through Jenkins/GitHub Actions and handle failed builds.
- ๐ Prepare real examples of difficult defects you discovered, investigated and helped resolve.
- โก Know the difference between functional, regression, integration and end-to-end automation and when each should be used.
- ๐ฏ Prepare one strong project explanation covering framework architecture โ automation coverage โ CI/CD โ defects โ measurable results.
๐ Resume Tips for This Role
Make your resume clearly look like an SDET resume, not a manual QA resume.
