Coding Technical System Design

So the interview was about automation testing, focusing on frameworks, Java OOP concepts, CI/CD pipelines, database stuff, making reusable functionality, and using Maven repos. We also covered Git, like how to commit code, handle conflicts, and so on. They gave me a few tasks: automate ibibo calendar with Selenium, explain password security for 6-20 digits with all checks passed, select the 4th Google search result, find broken links in Selenium or Cypress, resolve Git conflicts when committing to master, and configure HTML reports.
