Selenium is a testing framework used for automated Web application testing. Get to know Selenium Remote Control (Selenium RC), which allows you to build tests for different browsers to ensure your Web applications are of the highest quality.
System tests have the reputation of being slow (not entirely avoidable, I admit), difficult to automate reliably and difficult to diagnose when they fail. However, I find that many teams follow a TDD process at the unit-level, but do post-hoc testing at the system level, and so don’t use system tests as a source of design feedback. This blog post shows how you should do TDD at the system scale.
This book is primarily aimed at .NET developers interested in starting with TDD and those who already practice unit testing and want to move beyond that into development driven by acceptance testing.
This post contains an interesting figure summarizing the test automation adoption curve.
As a rule, software systems do not work well until they have been used, and have failed repeatedly, in real applications. Dave Parnas, Communications of the ACM (33, 6 June 1990 p.636)
This post will compare MSTest to NUnit in Visual Studio 2010 to see how the two frameworks stack up from the perspective of those three criteria.
The idea of driving development with tests has been popularized by the agile development movement. The fact is that testing and coding are inseparable components of software development. We get the best results with testers and programmers work closely together. How can we deliver real value to the business frequently? How can we know how much testing is enough? Let’s look at how testers and programmers collaborate to produce high-quality software.
