Task

Navigating Information About Example Domains

As a user interested in learning about example domains, I navigate from a broken link to informative resources, so that I can understand the purpose and usage of example domains.

Success definition: Given I am on a webpage that shows a 404 error When I decide to go to the homepage of Example Domain Then I should see the content of the Example Domain homepage displayed with headings and paragraphs explaining example domains, along with a link for more information.

Trajectory

Step 1:

Url (before/after):

https://www.veranohealth.org/

about:blank

Content (before/after): 

RootWebArea 404 - Page not found, focused, url='https://www.veranohealth.org/'
    StaticText 404
    heading Page not found
    paragraph
        StaticText The page you are looking for doesn't exist or has been moved.

RootWebArea, focused, url='about:blank'

Reasoning for action: The webpage I am currently on shows a 404 error, indicating that the desired content is unavailable. To progress towards the user story goal of accessing informative resources about example domains, going back will allow me to return to an earlier state in the browsing session, ideally to a page where I can find a link to the Example Domain homepage. This is a crucial step to ensure I can reach content that meets the user's needs.

Action: go_back() # Navigate back to the previous page in history.

Change Description: The browser navigated back to a previous page, resulting in a change from a '404 - Page not found' error page to a blank page ('about:blank'), with the focus shifting away from the error message.

Step 2:

Url (before/after):

about:blank

http://www.example.com/

Content (before/after): 

RootWebArea, focused, url='about:blank'

RootWebArea Example Domain, focused, url='http://www.example.com/'
    heading Example Domain
    paragraph
        StaticText This domain is for use in illustrative examples in documents. You may use this domain in literature without prior coordination or asking for permission.
    paragraph
Show more 
        [12] link More information..., center=(736,275), url='https://www.iana.org/domains/example'

Reasoning for action: Since the user is currently on a webpage that is causing a 404 error, my immediate goal is to redirect them to a relevant resource. The action of navigating to the home page of Example Domain allows the user to access informative content about example domains. This homepage is the next logical step to achieve the user's intent to learn more, as it is specifically designed to provide users with relevant information and examples.

Action: goto('http://www.example.com') # Navigate to the homepage of the website.

Change Description: The browser navigated from a blank page to 'http://www.example.com/', changing the URL and displaying the content of the Example Domain homepage, which includes a heading and two paragraphs with static text, along with a link to more information.

Reasoning for action: My reasoning for this action is based on the user's need to learn more about example domains. By clicking the 'More information...' link, I will be directed to a page that likely contains comprehensive resources and explanations about example domains. This directly supports the user story by ensuring that I have access to informative content, thus fulfilling the user's request for understanding.

Action: click(12) # Click on the 'More information...' link to learn more about the example domain.

Change Description: The browser navigated from the 'Example Domain' page to the 'Example Domains' page on a different site, updating the URL to 'https://www.iana.org/help/example-domains'. The content displayed significant new information including headings, paragraphs, and multiple links regarding the IANA-managed example domains, whereas the previous page contained only a brief overview of the example domain.
