Week 8 Feedback - Let's Level This UpStatus: Needs completion before grading What's Already Strong 💪
4 Things to Complete1️⃣ Apply TC-LOGIN-001 Format to All Cases (3-4 hrs)TC-LOGIN-001 is exactly what I want to see - detailed steps, specific results, clear preconditions. Problem is, most others are abbreviated. What's missing:
Quick example:
Action: Apply your TC-LOGIN-001 quality across all 60 test cases. 2️⃣ Fix RTM Numbers (30 min)Your RTM claims "60 tests mapped, 0 orphaned" but the table only shows 36. The fix: Add a "Supplementary Tests" section listing the other 24:
Then update summary:
File: 3️⃣ Test Those XSS Payloads (1 hr)You documented XSS payloads in Add 2-3 test cases:
💡 Tip: Copy TC-LOGIN-010 structure and swap SQL → XSS. 4️⃣ Finish Exercise 6 (1 hr)Missing the Quick checklist:
File to create: ✅ Resubmit Checklist
Deadline: Resubmit by Jan 1 (72 hrs) 💬 Real TalkThe skills are there - TC-LOGIN-001, your SQL injection test, and that self-review in Exercise 5 prove it. Now it's about applying that same quality everywhere. Think of this as your portfolio week. When you're interviewing and someone asks "show me a test case you wrote," you want to pull up TC-LOGIN-001 quality, not the abbreviated versions. Get these fixes done and Week 8 becomes one of your strongest submissions (85-90 range). You've got this. Questions? Hit me up. — Alex |
Week 8 Final Review - Strong Finish 💪Grade: 90/100 (A-) What You Nailed ✅All 4 action items completed:
Bonus: You went from 60 → 63 test cases. That SQL + XSS security thinking? Interview gold. The Work
This is portfolio-ready work. You could show TC-LOGIN-010 (SQL) or TC-CHECKOUT-021 (XSS) in an interview right now. Real TalkYou worked through the holidays to get this right. Fixing 60+ test cases over New Year's? That's commitment. The difference between your first submission and these revisions shows growth. You took feedback, applied it everywhere, and shipped quality. That's the mindset. What's NextWeek 9: Agile Testing & BDD (ready when you are)
You leveled up this week. The difference between TC-LOGIN-001 and your first drafts shows you know what quality looks like. Now you're applying it at scale. Merge whenever ready. Let's go Week 9! 🚀 — Alex |
