🧪 SDET Interview Assignment
🎯Objective:
This assignment is designed to evaluate your ability to plan and execute a comprehensive testing strategy for a
web application. It will assess your analytical skills, understanding of testing principles, ability to write effective
test cases, and familiarity with automation tools.
🔗 Webpage Under Test
URL: Analytics Vidhya
You will test this webpage as an external black-box tester. No access to source code or internal APIs will be
provided.
✅ Deliverables
Please organize all submissions into a single folder (or GitHub repo) with the following components:
1.📄 Test Strategy Document
Create a document outlining your test approach. It should include:
- Overview: Your understanding of what the webpage does (based on visual inspection and behavior).
- Scope of Testing: What is in-scope and out-of-scope.
- Assumptions: Mention any assumptions made due to lack of backend access or documentation.
- Types of Testing Covered:
- Functional Testing
- UI/UX Testing
- Compatibility Testing (browsers/devices)
- Responsive Design Testing
- Negative Testing
- Accessibility Testing
- Performance Testing (basic strategy)
- Security (basic surface-level checks)
- Test Environments: List the browsers/devices/OS you plan to test on.
- Tools You Would Use: Mention any tools you'd choose for manual or automated testing and justify your choice.
2.✅ Test Cases
Document at least 10-15 detailed test cases covering different aspects of the page. Include:
- Test Case ID
- Title
- Description
- Preconditions
- Test Steps
- Expected Result
- Actual Result (if executed)
- Priority/Severity
Use a format like Excel, CSV, or Markdown.
3.🐞 Bug Report (Optional Bonus)
If you find any functional or visual bugs, include a short bug report for each:
- Bug title
- Steps to reproduce
- Actual vs. expected behavior
- Severity
- Screenshot (if applicable)
You may include this in the same test case document or separately.
4.🤖 Automation Samples (Mandatory)
You must include both frontend and backend automation test samples for the webpage using tools/frameworks
of your choice. Provide 2–3 sample test scripts for each.
Frontend options (e.g.):
- Selenium (Java/Python)
- Playwright (JS/TS/Python)
- Cypress (JavaScript)
Backend options (e.g.):
- REST Assured (Java)
- Postman (with Newman CLI)
- Python requests + pytest
The above are some of the options. You are free to use the framework/language/library/tools that suits
you best.
Include:
- A [Link] with setup instructions
- Well-documented code with inline comments and function/method descriptions
- Use of assertions and best practices (e.g., Page Object Model for frontend, structured API test suites for
backend)
🔹
Code documentation is mandatory. Your code should be clean, modular, and easy to understand, with
appropriate comments and structure.
