Okay READ the content before bidding!! If I notice you haven't read the content your bid will be ignored. I am looking for ADVISE on what to do and how to handle this assignment. Short Story: I am a 4th year software engineer student and I am being hired as a trainee in a software company which has developed their own CMS platform in Python/Django. My job will be to develop an automated code test tool which should test the CMS-system functionalities with a click of a button and report the results. Important: My school does NOT allow me to write manual unit-tests of the whole system and put it in a small program, it has to be automated and it has to pick up newly added methods automatically for testing. I need (after winning bid) advise regarding: 1. How doable is this in 17 weeks for someone who yet has just learned Python? 2. How should I approach this, any ideas? (Or more likely..how would YOU approach this) 3. I know that the company is using Bitbucket instead of GitHub to pull and push code, could this be somehow implemented in my project to pull the yet to test code from there? 4. Any tips and things I should know or keep in mind? Expecting bids from people with Python/Automated Testing experience. Cheers.

Dear 4th year software engineer! I think I can give you a few tips regarding your test automation adventure. I have experience in working for a software company where test automation in Python was about 80% of my focus. At the moment I am head of DevOps - the sole focus, of course, being the whole developer to deployment process flow and automation of tests. I will not divulge the tips here (:p) but suffice to say there are a few things to consider: - Picking up functions to test automatically... I assume you mean test functions and not functions in newly written code? It is inherently impossible to automatically test new code functions if you do not know what you are testing for. However, if you mean the prior, then yes, this is easily done. - I assume that the code you wish to test is something checked in by developers/software engineers that is accompanied by a set of tests that you need to "automate" for test results? Especially if you say you are not allowed to write your own tests and then run those... - Bitbucket vs Git is not a problem. The big question is the "automated test platform" you wish to use. I have experience in two options. - The timeframe is doable given your new understanding of automation and testing. The bigger consideration will be the way they wish to see the results... and the tests they need to perform. If tests are written badly your automation will suffer from specific test setup scenarios needs. Thank you! Hope to hear from you soon.
