Speedrun QA automation of hacker-challenge

• We're using different tools/frameworks to automate the tasks within the hacker-challenge.
• All challenges should be completed as closely to human interaction as possible.
• Feel free to execute your tests against a locally hosted version of the hacker-challenge, see below.

Contribution to Speedrun QA Automation challenge

• Create a subfolder for your automation tool/framework of choice and automate all challenges.
• All automation solutions should include hints on test execution (i.e. package.json or separate Readme)
• Include a github workflow file that runs on PRs and can be triggered manually
• A dedicated step in your workflow that executes the tests makes test execution times compareable to some extend
