About QA Playground

Practice, learn, and excel in QA automation testing.

Our Mission

QA Playground is a free, purpose-built platform for QA automation engineers who want to sharpen their skills through hands-on practice. We believe the best way to learn automation is by doing — not just reading about it.

Most real-world applications are not designed with testability in mind. We built QA Playground to fill that gap: a dedicated space where every element, form, table, and interaction exists specifically to be automated.

The Problem We Solve

QA engineers at all levels — from beginners learning their first Selenium script to experienced engineers exploring Playwright — struggle to find realistic, stable environments to practice automation. Demo sites go down, real apps block bots, and basic tutorials don't cover the edge cases that come up in real work.

QA Playground provides a consistent, always-available environment with elements that behave predictably, are rich with automation-friendly attributes (id, data-testid, data-action), and cover the scenarios you actually encounter on the job.

What We Offer

22+ Practice Elements

Interactive UI elements designed for Selenium, Playwright, and Cypress practice — including inputs, buttons, tables, calendars, drag-and-drop, alerts, file uploads, shadow DOM, and more.

Demo Applications

Two full-featured demo apps for end-to-end automation practice: a Bank App (login, dashboard, accounts, transactions) and a Shopping App (product listings, cart, checkout, order history).

AI Mock Interviews

Rehearse QA interview scenarios with an AI-powered interviewer. Get asked real interview questions, respond in your own words, and receive instant feedback to sharpen your answers.

Job Application CRM

Track every job application in one place — add roles, update statuses, log interview rounds, and keep notes. Designed specifically for QA engineers managing an active job search.

Daily Challenges

A fresh automation challenge every day to keep your scripting skills sharp. Challenges cover a range of difficulty levels and frameworks — perfect for consistent, low-pressure practice.

Interview Questions Bank

A curated library of QA interview questions spanning manual testing, Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, API testing, and testing strategy — with model answers to study and compare against.

Role Play Scenarios

Practise real QA workplace scenarios — bug triage conversations, sprint planning discussions, stakeholder pushback, and more — to build the soft skills that matter as much as technical ones.

QA Chrome Extensions

A hand-picked list of Chrome extensions that QA engineers actually use daily — plus our own QA Capture and QA Clipper extensions for faster bug reporting and element inspection.

Study Tracker

Track your QA learning progress across multiple syllabi — Manual Testing, Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, API Testing, and more — with daily logging and resource saving.

QA Tools & Blog

Free tools for QA engineers (JSON converter, more coming soon) plus a blog with tutorials, best practices, and guides on automation frameworks and testing strategy.

Who We Are

QA Playground was created and is maintained by Kundalik Jadhav, a QA automation engineer with hands-on experience in Selenium, Playwright, and Cypress across real-world projects. The platform was built out of a genuine frustration with the lack of high-quality, purpose-built practice environments for QA professionals.

The platform launched in early 2025 and is actively maintained and improved based on community feedback. It is free to use and will remain so.

We are not a corporation or VC-funded startup — just a QA engineer who wanted a better playground and decided to build it for everyone.

Join the Community

QA Playground is more than a toolset — it is a growing community of testers who are serious about their craft. Whether you are preparing for interviews, picking up a new framework, or just keeping your skills sharp, this is a place to practice without pressure.
