How it works

  1. 1

    Step 1: The exam

    20 questions drawn from 30, 30 minutes, pass mark 80%. Not the knowledge-check questions. Explanations after grading; retake after 24 hours, up to 3 attempts in 7 days.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Test a private site through TestingBot Tunnel

    2 passing browser tests in the build certificate-local-website-testing on 2 different browser configurations, in the last 30 days, each run through TestingBot Tunnel (sessions without the tunnel do not count).

    How to run it

    Run an automated test against a site that is only reachable through TestingBot Tunnel (for example a server on your own machine), on at least two different browser/OS combinations, with at least two passed sessions in the build certificate-local-website-testing.

    1. Start a local site and the tunnel, and wait for You may start your tests, as in Setting up TestingBot Tunnel.
    2. Use the test from Example test with Tunnel, through the relay (http://localhost:4445/wd/hub) or the hub with a tunnel-identifier. Open http://local.testingbot.com:<port>, not localhost.
    3. Set the build name in tb:options:
      • Java: tbOptions.put("build", "certificate-local-website-testing");
      • Python: add "build": "certificate-local-website-testing" to the tb:options dictionary.
    4. Report the result of each session: ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("tb:test-result=passed") in Java, or driver.execute_script("tb:test-result=passed") in Python, sending failed when the assertion fails. Sessions without a status do not count.
    5. Run the test on a second combination (for example Chrome on WIN11 and Firefox on LINUX) and check that both sessions are listed under the build in the dashboard, marked passed, with the video showing your local page.

    See Group Tests for the build option.
