Hi Ashish,

I have seen many companies ask for Javascript knowledge if you look at job portals while looking for automation jobs.

So, I wanted to know how much Javascript knowledge is required to crack an interview of automation?

it depends on job profile.

Its for Automation selenium engineer. In your videos, only Javascript executor has been discussed.

Take the following job profile as an example,

https://www.naukri.com/job-listings-Hiring-Selenium-Test-Manager-12-16-Years-Pune-Location-Capgemini-India-Pvt-Ltd-Pune-12-to-16-years-011016002360?src=jobsearchDesk&sid=14768704808458&xp=1&qp=selenium%20capgemini&srcPage=s

Here, its written as 'good javascript knowledge' .

So, I am not sure how much javascript knowledge one should have and why this is required in automation other than things like javascript alerts and javascript executor?

they must be implementing selenium with javascript instead of java.
