Purpose
Decide whether the bot can start Chrome with its own persistent profile, open the gym site and log in by itself, which completes lecture steps 1 and 2.
Deliverable
Browser set-up with the detach option and the chrome_profile directory, navigation to the site, a login() function with explicit waits, unit tests, and screenshots for lecture steps 1 and 2.
Go / No-Go Criteria
| # |
Criterion (objectively checkable) |
Go |
No-Go |
| 1 |
A container run opens the site with a profile directory and, after the test account exists, logs in and finds the class schedule |
The schedule element is present |
Login fails or times out |
| 2 |
Unit tests for the option building and the credentials handling pass without a browser |
0 failures |
A test fails |
| 3 |
docs/images/step-1.png and docs/images/step-2.png exist |
Both files exist and show the site |
A file is missing |
| 4 |
The code review against qc-programming-python.md is Go |
RC-* is Go |
No-Go |
Dependencies
| Depends on |
Reason |

Summary |
Needs its own Use Case/User Story? |
Reference |
| 1 |
Start Chrome with a persistent profile |
Build the Chrome options with detach and --user-data-dir pointing at a chrome_profile folder in the project, so the site's data survives between runs, and open the site URL. Save the screenshot step-1.png. |
No |
O1 |
| 2 |
Register the test account in the profile |
Document and script the one-time registration of the student account in the opened browser (the assignment does it by hand once). The container run registers it with a documented test e-mail and a strong password and keeps it in a profile volume. |
No |
O1 |
| 3 |
Implement the login |
Implement login() which clicks the login button, fills e-mail and password, submits and waits with WebDriverWait and presence_of_element_located for the class schedule. Save the screenshot step-2.png. |
No |
O2 |
| 4 |
Read credentials safely |
Take ACCOUNT_EMAIL and ACCOUNT_PASSWORD from environment variables with documented defaults for the practice site only, never from the personal .env and never printed. |
No |
O2 |
