How would you add E2E tests to CI and what challenges arise?
This tests CI/CD pipeline design. Cover Dockerized environments, parallel runs, flaky-test retries, and selective execution such as critical tests per commit and full suites nightly. Red flag: running all tests on every commit without isolation or retries.
This tests your ability to design a robust, fast CI/CD stage for end-to-end testing. A strong answer outlines Dockerized environment setup with seeded data, parallel execution or sharding to reduce runtime, explicit waits and retry policies to combat flakiness, and selective scheduling such as critical path tests on every commit and full regression suites nightly or pre-release. It should also mention artifact collection for debugging failures.
