QA Internship Day 5 - Team Lunch & Cool Shots
Progress
- Finished basic automation for 1st test case of a new core feature of the ShopBack site… will have to keep reminding Vara to vet through my test plan again!!!!
- Helped a bit with testing the new feature manually & registered replicable defects. The key is replicable, not random issues that could be caused by a slip of action or incomplete changes on the feature branch
- Figured out the HTTP request for creating test users for any app logging in with FB accounts through Graph API, with app id, app secret.
What’s next?
- MUST automate HTTP request communication using webdriverio or NodeJS with Graph API for:
- FB test user creation
- retrieval of new test FB user’s credentials
- transfer of such info to FB login test scripts (wdio)
- deletion of that new FB test user
- MUST complete 14 test cases for FB login
- Freaking finish the rest of the test suite without trial running them first (problem with some properties to be set in DB for test accounts). I really hate it man, could qa just get access to a secure API for manipulating DB ?????? Right now we have to keep asking dev to change info in DB for our test accounts
Experience
- Good time during team lunch though I felt kinda awkward for being unable to fit in girl’s conversation on the latest trends in fashion, food & cosmetics (totally feel like unfeminine again “>.<). I couldn’t quite talk to the guys either since they keep mentioning various common acquaintance with high achievements, who I’m so clueless about…
Network - 0
Stomach - 1

Crazy time focusing on discussions on issues, felt like an idiot while making a dev re-explain the error to me after the discussion due to my lack of attention… Felt like everyone was focused while I was dripping off…, and worse off, got caught. Just rmb to focus better to avoid wasting peers’ time!!!!!
-
Supervisor was super helpful despite her super tight schedule and tons of responsibilities for the latest deployment. Felt like a nuissance for being unable to help her in any possible way. Got assigned with new or separate testing flows…
-
An intern is leaving after today, so he treated all new interns with good icecream, but I felt awkward for being unable to remember him/face/role before talking to other interns about him during the farewell. Feel like out of the place again.
To sum up, I feel kinda weird even after 1 whole week, and very inclined to curl up into my comfort shell again. Pray I can get the courage to freaking join and catch up with others…
Well, this leaving intern is actually awesome… he gave me the encouragement in the form of a memorable card right when I needed (just after writing the previous line…)
I dunno how to respond. Just hope that his good wishes for me will come true. Or maybe I will try to maintain strength to make it come true :-?
Honestly, I feel like I’m gonna work this weekend
