01 / TRY IT

Prove it. Right now.

Three questions, no signup. See how sharp your testing instincts really are.

1.A field accepts ages 1-120. Which single input is the MOST valuable boundary test?

2.An API returns HTTP 200 OK with body { "status": "error", "message": "not found" }. As a tester, you:

02 / FORMATS

Three ways to battle

Every challenge is one of three formats. Same arena, different weapons.

FORMAT / QUIZ

Quiz

Rapid-fire questions on a live timer. Scored server-side against hidden answer keys — answer fast and sharp for the speed bonus.

  • MCQ · multi-select · ordering
  • instant 0-100 score
  • speed bonus for fast + correct

FORMAT / SCENARIO

Scenario

Real artifacts — logs, traces, code, tickets. Make the calls a senior tester makes; defensible judgment earns partial credit.

  • read the evidence
  • weighted decisions
  • partial credit, not pass/fail

FORMAT / BUG HUNT

Bug Hunt

A deliberately broken app in the arena. Explore it, find the seeded defects, and file real bug reports.

  • detection (severity-weighted)
  • report quality heuristic
  • exploration coverage

03 / TRACKS

Eight tracks. One arena.

From classic manual testing to evaluating AI agents — the skills the industry actually hires for.

Manual Testing

Exploratory instincts, test design, and bulletproof bug reports.

8 battles

Test Automation

Selectors, waits, flake-proof suites, and framework design.

9 battles

API Testing

Status codes, contracts, auth flows, and integration traps.

7 battles

AI & LLM Evals

DeepEval, RAGAS, hallucination hunting, and metric literacy.

5 battles

Agentic AI Testing

RAG pipelines, MCP servers, LangChain, CrewAI, and n8n flows.

6 battles

Performance

Load models, percentiles, bottlenecks, and k6/JMeter fluency.

5 battles

Accessibility

WCAG, screen readers, keyboard traps, and inclusive quality.

5 battles

Security

OWASP Top 10, authz bugs, injection, and abuse-case thinking.

6 battles

04 / PROTOCOL
