My Favorite Test Case


Find a PowWow Near You Search Without Entering Any Information


I really enjoy negative testing.  I like to ask the question, ‘Will this allow me to _____?’ and then check to see whether the application behaves as anticipated, or if there might be a hidden vulnerability that could allow me to bypass the expected flow.


My Favorite Bugs

I found my favorite bug while testing the first feature during my initial exploratory testing.  If you try to search for a Pow Wow by Month, Year, and State or Province from the home page you’ll find you’re unable to select the year 2024.  My second favorite bug goes along with this one.  If you click the PowWows.com icon that is supposed to take you home from the calendar page you aren’t brought back to the homepage, but to a Pow Wow Calendar instead.


My Least Favorite Part

My least favorite part of this project was I couldn’t automate one of the tests

I wanted to because of a CAPTCHA. 

I suppose it did its job and kept me from spamming the Newsletter Signup,

but I was disappointed to not be able to automate that test.


My Favorite Part

I really got excited when I was able to successfully write automated tests on my own. 

I did need some help getting a couple of them to work, but I didn’t need help with all of them. 

It’s extremely satisfying to finally be able to write tests that go by themselves. 

Two months ago I wouldn’t even have known just what I was looking at if you showed me an automated test,

and now I can write them myself.

In Conclusion


PowWows.com was started in 1996 by a gentleman who as a graduate student wanted to teach himself HTML.  I thought it would be fun to test this page partly because of why it was made, but also because this is a wonderful resource for all things Native American culture.  Today in this modern age we are largely invisible and easily overlooked, but websites like this one help everyone to learn about Native culture and to see that we are still here.  I did find a number of bugs, but nothing that made the user experience difficult, or made me not want to use this website.  I will keep coming back here not just for finding Pow Wows in my area, but for shopping, recipes, and Native news as well.

Allow Me To Introduce Myself

Hello and good morning!   My name is Adriana K Williams, and I am embarking on a grand new journey. A little about Me: I am Toltec, my motto is Life is Art. I did not follow a traditional career path. Throughout my upbringing, I kept hearing adults say that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. If circumstances had been different, I would have gone to university. I would have loved to spend a few years studying philosophy, art, history, and science. However, I couldn't justify the cost of this experience since I wasn't focused on a specific career after graduation; I simply wanted to explore and learn because I love learning. So, I started working in restaurants because of my passion for food, and later became a roadie selling merchandise for touring bands across North America. I worked tirelessly at these jobs, but I genuinely loved what I did. I was fortunate to attend a show almost every night for a month or two at a time while on tour, meet peop...
