1 - What are the differences between priority" and severity? Explain an example of a high-priority and low-severy issue and vice-versa. 2 - How can you start a job in a CI/CD platform? 3 - Questions about REST services. 4 - What's a POM? (Give an example). 5 - An "easy" selenium exercise to locate an element with id "input-id"? This question is difficult to answer because there's no reference about what programming language you must use and if they expect the instruction to call the locator or the code from Webdriver initialization. 6 - Estimation techniques (well, they expect you to mention some of them even if the industry used scrum poker as the sole estimation technique). 7 - You must complete two code challenges. The difficult challenge is getting the maximum even sum of an unordered array with positive and negative values (For instance, [-1, -2, 40, 30, 5], the result should be 74).
