3.8Hands-On Exercise
- Build a small test automation project (Page Object + 5 tests) and time yourself -- aim for 45 minutes. This simulates a live coding session.
- Practice the "how would you test" framework on 3 different systems: one software feature, one physical object, and one API endpoint.
- Design a test automation framework on a whiteboard (or blank document) for a product you use daily. Explain each layer in 1 minute.
- Complete a take-home assignment for an open-source project: write tests for a public API (e.g., JSONPlaceholder, PokéAPI) with a full README and CI configuration.
- Record yourself doing a live coding exercise. Watch it back and identify moments where you went silent, got stuck, or could have explained your thinking better.
