Key Elements of a Testing Portfolio

Which of the following is NOT typically included in a strong software testing portfolio?

A Screenshots or videos demonstrating test cases

B Personal opinions about the software's design aesthetics

C Detailed bug reports with clear reproduction steps

D Test plans and test case documentation

💡 Hint

Think about what helps show your testing skills clearly and professionally.

A testing portfolio should focus on evidence of your testing skills and results. Personal opinions about design aesthetics are subjective and not part of professional testing documentation.

Test Report Summary Output

What will be the output of this simple test report summary code snippet?

Testing Fundamentals

test_results = {'passed': 8, 'failed': 2, 'skipped': 1}
summary = f"Passed: {test_results['passed']}, Failed: {test_results['failed']}, Skipped: {test_results['skipped']}"
print(summary)

A Passed: 8, Failed: 2, Skipped: 1

B Error: KeyError

C Passed: 8, Failed: 2, Skipped:

D Passed: 8 Failed: 2 Skipped: 1

💡 Hint

Look carefully at how the dictionary keys are accessed inside the f-string.

The code correctly accesses each key in the dictionary and formats the string with commas separating the values.

❓ assertion

Valid Assertion for Test Case Result

Which assertion correctly verifies that the variable test_passed is True in a Python test?

Testing Fundamentals

test_passed = True

A assert test_passed is True

B assert test_passed = True

C assert test_passed == True

D assert test_passed != False

💡 Hint

Remember the difference between equality and identity in Python assertions.

Using assert test_passed is True checks that test_passed is exactly the True singleton, which is best practice for boolean assertions.

🔧 Debug

Identify the Bug in Locator Usage

Given this Selenium locator code snippet, what is the bug that will cause the test to fail?

Testing Fundamentals

element = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'submit-button')
element.click()

A Incorrect locator type; should use <code>By.CLASS_NAME</code>

B Using <code>find_element</code> instead of <code>find_elements</code>

C Missing import for <code>By</code> from Selenium

D Click method is deprecated and should not be used

💡 Hint

Check if all required modules are imported before usage.

If By is not imported from selenium.webdriver.common.by, the code will raise a NameError.

Test Execution Order in Pytest Fixtures

Consider these pytest fixtures and test functions. What is the order of execution of the print statements when running test_example?

Testing Fundamentals

import pytest

@pytest.fixture(scope='module')
def setup_module():
    print('Setup Module')
    yield
    print('Teardown Module')

@pytest.fixture(scope='function')
def setup_function():
    print('Setup Function')
    yield
    print('Teardown Function')

def test_example(setup_module, setup_function):
    print('Executing Test')

A

Setup Function
Executing Test
Teardown Function
Setup Module
Teardown Module

B

Setup Function
Setup Module
Executing Test
Teardown Module
Teardown Function

C

Setup Module
Executing Test
Setup Function
Teardown Function
Teardown Module

D

Setup Module
Setup Function
Executing Test
Teardown Function
Teardown Module

💡 Hint

Remember that module-scoped fixtures run once per module, function-scoped fixtures run per test function.

The module fixture runs setup first, then the function fixture setup, then the test, then function teardown, then module teardown.
