Sandbox principles

A few ideas behind why this site exists.

Principle 01

Test what’s real

A sandbox only teaches you something if it’s a genuine, live target — not a mockup pretending to be one.

Principle 02

Break things on purpose

Controlled failure is how you learn what your automation actually catches, before it matters somewhere else.

Principle 03

Document as you go

A test that isn’t written down didn’t happen. Every change here gets tracked the same way a real release would be.

Common questions

Click a question to expand it.

Is this site actually tested?

Yes — a Playwright suite scans it and checks that key elements load correctly on every page.

Can I use these templates myself?

Yes, everything on the QA Tools page is free to download and adapt.

What’s built with what?

A custom WordPress theme, Python and Playwright for automation, and openpyxl for the workbooks.

How often does this change?

Often — new content and tools get added and re-tested as this sandbox grows.
