API Camp · Full cohort portfolio lab

Build it.
Test it.
Prove it.

28 product ideas become 28 guided testing briefs.

Each tutorial supplies a small Python domain-model starter, pytest acceptance checks, and a Playwright user-journey scaffold for the local interface you build.

One setup for every project

Prepare your testing workspace.

01Create a folder and virtual environment.python -m venv .venv
02Install pytest and the Playwright plugin.python -m pip install pytest pytest-playwright
03Install the Chromium browser.python -m playwright install chromium
04Run the complete portfolio test.python -m pytest -v

Scope: these are learning scaffolds, not completed implementations of the original products. Build the behavior, connect the interface, replace placeholder criteria with real rules, and make the tests pass locally before presenting a project as portfolio evidence.

Step 1 · Product outcome

Build the smallest useful version.

Build a progress tracker that records completed lessons and calculates a certificate-ready score.

Step 2 · Python

Model the behavior.

Dataclasses, sets, validation, and percentage calculations.

Step 3 · pytest

Prove the rules.

Fixtures for fresh learner state and parametrized progress boundaries.

Step 4 · Playwright

Test the user journey.

Complete a challenge, inspect the progress bar, and verify the completion state.

Python domain model

from dataclasses import dataclass, field

@dataclass
class ApiCampProject:
    completed: set[str] = field(default_factory=set)

    def complete(self, criterion: str) -> None:
        if not criterion.strip():
            raise ValueError("criterion is required")
        self.completed.add(criterion)

    def is_portfolio_ready(self) -> bool:
        required = ["Duplicate lesson completions do not inflate progress","Progress stays between 0 and 100","The browser announces a completed challenge","A README explains the learning workflow"]
        return all(item in self.completed for item in required)

pytest acceptance tests

import pytest
from app import ApiCampProject

@pytest.fixture
def project():
    return ApiCampProject()

@pytest.mark.parametrize("criterion", [
    "Duplicate lesson completions do not inflate progress",
    "Progress stays between 0 and 100",
    "The browser announces a completed challenge",
    "A README explains the learning workflow"
])
def test_each_criterion_can_be_completed(project, criterion):
    project.complete(criterion)
    assert criterion in project.completed

def test_project_is_ready_only_after_all_criteria(project):
    assert project.is_portfolio_ready() is False
    for criterion in ["Duplicate lesson completions do not inflate progress","Progress stays between 0 and 100","The browser announces a completed challenge","A README explains the learning workflow"]:
        project.complete(criterion)
    assert project.is_portfolio_ready() is True

Playwright user-journey scaffold

from playwright.sync_api import Page, expect

def test_api_camp_tutorial(page: Page):
    page.goto("http://127.0.0.1:8000")

    expect(page.get_by_role("heading", name="API Camp")).to_be_visible()
    page.get_by_role("button", name="Run portfolio check").click()
    expect(page.get_by_role("status")).to_have_text("Ready for review")

Step 5

Proof to publish

Duplicate lesson completions do not inflate progress
Progress stays between 0 and 100
The browser announces a completed challenge
A README explains the learning workflow

Finish with a public README, one passing terminal screenshot, and a short explanation of the failure you fixed.
