Quality Assurance Test Task

Welcome to the Manual QA Engineer Challenge! This is the final part of the interviewing process which will allow us to assess your skills better. Further instructions and questions can be found below.

Catena Media has a demo application, which is publicly available for anyone to try out in codesandbox. To access it, please use the following link: https://o2dhuo.csb.app/

The demo application consists of two screens "Go links" & "Redirects". These screens are meant to store and manage our links that we use across our global websites.

Once finished, kindly forward a zip file of your work to your respective acquisition partner; in this case to [email protected]. This will then be forwarded to the hiring manager for assessment.

We will then get back to you with feedback shortly after.

Test Context

Before, this application was only in charge of keeping track of the redirection of our links (what link goes where like: /go/example => http://netrefer.com/1234).

Users in this application only used to have redirects screen and only operated by storing a "go link" (generated elsewhere) and an affiliate link url.

Now Business tasked our team to overhaul this simple process and add the generation of a go link within it (becoming something like tinyurl or short.io).

User Story

Users should not be able to use the redirects screen to create redirects anymore. Instead, users will now have to go through the go link screen & create a go link instead. This go link creation form should be able to create a go link and a redirect when submitted (linking both of them in the process).
