Project management with Selenium

A sprint Kanban you can drag across (or use the move menu), a create-issue modal with label chips, issue pages with sub-task progress and comments, an SVG burndown chart, and a backlog with bulk move to sprint.

Scenarios to automate

Work top to bottom — each one adds a new technique.

  1. 1

    Assignee avatars filter

    Beginner

    filter-assignee-* toggles (aria-pressed) and only-mine narrow the board; assert board-count.

  2. 2

    Create-issue validation

    Intermediate

    save-task with blanks shows task-errors and error-*; a short title is rejected.

  3. 3

    Chips with Enter

    Intermediate

    Type in label-input and press Enter (or add-label); remove with remove-label-*.

  4. 4

    Drag across columns

    Advanced

    Drag a task-card onto col-review (HTML5 DnD); or use move-task-<key>. col-count-* updates.

  5. 5

    Sub-task progress

    Beginner

    Add sub-tasks, tick subtask-0 and assert subtask-progress “1/2”.

  6. 6

    SVG chart data

    Advanced

    burndown-point circles carry data-day/data-points; the last point equals burndown-remaining.

  7. 7

    Bulk move

    Intermediate

    Tick select-<key> in the backlog and move-to-sprint; the issues appear on the board.

Sample Selenium suite

A working starting point that finds elements every way Selenium can — by role, label, text, id, name, CSS, XPath and data-testid — so you practice them all. Pick your language, switch to data-testid only to compare, or try your own in the Locator Playground.
