A Story of One Young Mentee (Remote) Learning E2E Test Automation
A Quiet Achiever: Slow and Steady wins the game.
About one month ago, my best friend Julie (in Sydney) contacted me about her nephew, who had just come to Australia to study for an IT Master's degree. During the conversation, I suggested learning a bit of End-to-End Test Automation, which could help improve his academic score in Uni Assignments.
My daughter is still studying for an Honours degree part-time. Since two years ago, whenever possible, she has demonstrated her assignment work using End-to-End Automation (raw Selenium/Appium). Every time, with good results. The lecturers and tutors were deeply impressed. For two courses, the lecturers offered some kinds of awards, such as “Most Innovative” and “Best Implemented”. The recipients of these awards received full marks on their assignments. My daughter always got the awards, mostly by the WOW effect of End-to-End demonstration via UI, using automation scripts. (see article, Automation Assist, Part 1: Showcase)
Julie was interested and arranged a Zoom session with Aaron, her nephew. I basically did a “30-minute Test Automation Coaching for $1” (available for anyone, once. Of course, for my best friend, no need to pay $1).
