Test Lead Automation Practice
Three hands-on labs that build the skills a lead relies on every day: reading failing reports, wiring API checks into CI, and running Playwright on GitHub Actions — all with free tools and public sandboxes.
Every exercise uses free, publicly available targets (Playwright's own docs, example.com, saucedemo.com, jsonplaceholder.typicode.com, reqres.in) and runs on the free tier of whichever tool it teaches. No paid accounts, no credit cards.
HTML report & failure triage
Run a small Playwright suite with one deliberately flaky test, open the HTML report, and pinpoint the cause from the trace.
02Postman collection runner in CI
Export a collection and environment from Postman, run it locally with Newman, and generate a JUnit XML report your CI can surface.
03Playwright + GitHub Actions free tier
Push a tiny Playwright repo to GitHub and add a workflow that runs tests on every push — all inside the free public-repo tier.
Work order. Complete 01 first — you'll need a Playwright project for 03. 02 is standalone and can be done in any slot.
