Sample answer
“In my internship at a local startup, I worked on a web application project where I utilized Selenium for automated testing. My role involved writing test scripts and executing them to ensure functionality across different browsers. One challenge was dealing with flaky tests, which I resolved by optimizing the test scripts and adding appropriate waits. This effort contributed to a 30% reduction in testing time, allowing the team to release the product ahead of schedule.”
