Practice app · FinBank
A retail net-banking portal: captcha-protected login, an accounts dashboard with masked balances, a sortable and paginated transactions table, beneficiary management, OTP-verified fund transfers behind a native confirm, a session-timeout warning and statements that open in a new tab.
Your starter code already declares TEST_URL — never hardcode a host.
Objective
Write a negative login test: valid credentials with a wrong captcha must be rejected with “The captcha you entered is incorrect”, and a new captcha must be shown.
Your task
- 1Open TEST_URL and note the captcha in #captcha-text (it starts as 7KQ2X).
- 2Type 11223344 into #login-customer-id and Bank@2026 into #login-password.
- 3Type the wrong captcha ABCDE into #login-captcha and click #login-submit.
- 4Assert #login-error contains “The captcha you entered is incorrect”.
- 5Assert #captcha-text now shows a different captcha (M4P9T) and the login form is still displayed.
Acceptance criteria
- The captcha error is shown.
- A new captcha (M4P9T) replaces the old one.
- The user is still on the login form.
- The test makes at least two assertions.
