QA Wolf Take-Home Assignment: Turn-Key Guide

Step 1: Set up Node.js and Playwright

1.1 Install Node.js

1. Go to Node.js website and download the LTS (Long-Term Support) version.

2. Follow the installation prompts to install Node.js on your computer.
3. Once installed, open a terminal or command prompt and type:

bash

node -v
npm -v

This checks that Node.js and npm (Node's package manager) are installed correctly. You
should see version numbers for both.

Step 2: Set up Your Project

2.1 Create Your Project Folder

1. Create a new folder on your desktop (or anywhere on your computer) and name it something
like `QA_Wolf_Assignment`.
2. Open your terminal or command prompt, and navigate to this folder. For example:

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 22/28
 bash

cd Desktop/QA_Wolf_Assignment

2.2 Initialize Your Node.js Project

1. In the terminal, initialize a new Node.js project by running:

bash

npm init -y

This creates a basic `package.json` file in your project folder.

2.3 Install Playwright

1. Install Playwright (the browser automation tool you’ll be using) by running:

bash

npm i playwright

Step 3: Write the Script in `index.js`

3.1 Create `index.js` File

1. In your project folder, create a new file called `index.js`:

Right-click in the folder -> New File -> Name it `index.js`.

3.2 Copy the Following Code into `index.js`

This script uses Playwright to visit Hacker News’ "newest" page, extract the first 100 articles, and
validate that they are sorted from newest to oldest based on their timestamps.

javascript

const { chromium } = require('playwright');

(async () => {
// Launch a Chromium browser instance
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();

// Go to Hacker News newest page

await page.goto('https://news.ycombinator.com/newest');

// Extract titles and timestamps of the first 100 articles

const articles = await page.$$eval('.athing', articles => {
return articles.slice(0, 100).map(article => {
const title = article.querySelector('.titleline').innerText;
const ageText = article.nextSibling.querySelector('.age').innerText;

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 23/28
 return { title, ageText };
});
});

// Output articles for debugging purposes

console.log(articles);

// Simple validation: check if the articles are sorted by their ageText

let isSorted = true;
for (let i = 0; i < articles.length - 1; i++) {
if (articles[i].ageText > articles[i + 1].ageText) {
isSorted = false;
break;
}
}

// Result of sorting validation

if (isSorted) {
console.log('The articles are sorted from newest to oldest!');
} else {
console.log('The articles are NOT sorted correctly.');
}

// Close the browser

await browser.close();
})();

Step 4: Run the Script

4.1 Run the Script in Your Terminal

1. Open your terminal or command prompt and make sure you are in the project folder where
`index.js` is located.
If not, navigate to it using:

bash

cd path_to_your_project_folder

2. Run the script using the following command:

bash

node index.js

4.2 What Happens

The script will:

Open the Hacker News "newest" page.
Extract the titles and timestamps of the first 100 articles.
Check if these articles are sorted by time, from newest to oldest.
Print out whether the articles are sorted correctly or not.

 Step 5: Record Your Loom Video

This is where you'll explain why you want to work at QA Wolf and walk through the code you just
wrote.

5.1 Sign Up for Loom

1. Go to loom.com and sign up for a free account if you haven’t already.

2. Download the Loom Chrome extension or the Loom desktop app to record your screen and
voice.

5.2 Prepare for the Recording

Keep it casual and conversational! Imagine you’re talking to someone over a beer or coffee,
sharing your excitement about QA Wolf.
Your video will have two parts:
1. Why you want to work at QA Wolf.
2. A walk-through of your code and running the script.

5.3 Record Your Video

1. Start Loom recording by choosing to record your screen + camera or just your screen (your
choice).
2. Begin with your introduction:

Here’s a script you can follow:

Hey QA Wolf team!

So, first off, why do I want to work at QA Wolf? Well, I love quality assurance, and I’m kind of
a geek about making sure things work perfectly. Nothing’s worse than a product breaking
on users, right?

QA Wolf stood out to me because you’re all about automation—I’m a huge fan of making
testing smarter and more efficient with tools like Playwright. Your approach is just...
awesome, and I can see myself thriving here, helping automate tests and making sure
things run smoothly.

Plus, the fact that you care about customer-facing roles is a bonus. I love helping people,
solving their problems, and making sure they have the best experience possible.

Anyway, enough about me—let’s talk about the code I wrote for this assignment!

3. Walk through your code:

Alright, let’s dive into the code. What I did here is pretty simple, but it gets the job done:

Step 1, I opened the Chromium browser and went to the Hacker News "newest" page. You
can see that with this `page.goto()` command:

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 25/28
 javascript

await page.goto('https://news.ycombinator.com/newest');

Step 2, I used Playwright’s $$eval() function to grab the first 100 articles. I’m pulling out
their titles and the timestamps (like "5 minutes ago" or "1 hour ago"). You can see that
here:

javascript

const articles = await page.$$eval('.athing', articles => {

return articles.slice(0, 100).map(article => {
const title = article.querySelector('.titleline').innerText;
const ageText = article.nextSibling.querySelector('.age').innerText;
return { title, ageText };
});
});

Step 3, I wrote a simple loop to check if the articles are in order. Basically, we compare each
article’s timestamp with the next one, and if something is out of order, it flags it.

Finally, if everything looks good, it prints "The articles are sorted from newest to
oldest!", and we’re done!

4. Run the script while recording the screen. In your terminal, type:

bash

node index.js

Show the output where the script confirms if the articles are sorted correctly.

5. Wrap up your recording by saying something like:

So, there you have it! The articles are sorted correctly, the script works, and that’s my
solution. Thanks for watching, and I hope to join the QA Wolf team soon!

6. Stop the recording and grab the link to your Loom video.

Step 6: Add Loom Video Link to `why_qa_wolf.txt`

1. Create a new file in your project folder called `why_qa_wolf.txt`.

2. Open the file and paste the Loom video link in it. Example:

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 26/28
 perl

Here’s the link to my Loom video: https://loom.com/your-video-link

Step 7: Zip Your Project Folder

1. Select your project folder (which contains `index.js` and `why_qa_wolf.txt`).

2. Right-click and select Compress or Zip (depending on your system).
This will create a `.zip` file of the entire folder.

Step 8: Upload Your Zip File to Google Drive

1. Go to your Google Drive.

2. Upload the `.zip` file by dragging it into the Drive window or by using the "New" -> "File
Upload" button.
3. Once it’s uploaded, right-click on the file and choose "Get link".
4. Set the sharing settings to "Anyone with the link can view".

Step 9: Email QA Wolf

1. Compose an email to `qa-hiring@qawolf.com`.

2. Use the following format:
