Model-based testing (MBT)is defined as the automated generation of software testing procedures based models of system requirements and behavior. In this article, Sergio Mera and Yiming Cao provides an introduction to model-based testing and explains how to implement it with Spec Explorer, an free tool that extends Visual Studio.
Automated visual testing is a major emerging trend in the dev / test community. Learn what visual testing is and why it should be automated. We will take a deep dive into some of the technological challenges involved with visual test automation and show how modern tools address them. We will demo cutting edge technologies that enable running cross browser and cross device visual tests, and provide key tips for succeeding with large scale visual testing.
