Junior Automation Practice
Three hands-on exercises. Install the tools, write the tests, run them, compare what you learned.
Work through these in order. Each page includes install commands for Windows, macOS and Linux, a complete copy-pasteable script, troubleshooting for the common errors, and a challenge extension. Expect about 15–25 minutes per exercise on a fresh machine.
Practice 01
Your First Playwright Test
Install Playwright, open a public NZ-friendly site, assert the page title, and capture a screenshot. About 15 minutes.
Practice 02
Fill a Form and Assert
Fill the DuckDuckGo search input, submit it, and assert the result URL plus a visible link. Locators and web-first assertions.
Practice 03
Same Test in Selenium
Rewrite the Practice 02 scenario in Selenium + Python with webdriver-manager. Feel the waiting-model differences.
