Test Automation Puzzlers
summary
Interactive puzzle-style quizzes that demonstrate surprising Selenium/WebDriver behaviors using runnable Java examples and live voting. Covers specific gotchas: malformed-URL calls raising DriverException instead of navigation errors, Serenity converting Selenium failures into UI assertion errors (changing exception types to catch), differences between getText and textContent whitespace normalization, and interactions between implicit and explicit waits at driver vs client side; the demos reproduce these failures.
