Almost every manual QA started with Selenium IDE or at least tried it at some point, and the retention rate is close to 0. This talk depicts the challenges that Test Automation Developers face. We categorize the challenges, name them, and see the skill set required to overcome the difficulties.
The microservice architecture has been growing momentum over the past few years in the Java world, but once you have started down the microservice path how do you make sure that your applications are still fully tested?
Specializing static analysis techniques for test suites has yielded interesting results. We’ve previously learned that most tests are simple straight-line code, namely a sequence of setup statements followed by a payload consisting of asserts. We show how static analysis can identify useless setup statements, enabling developers to simplify and speed up their test cases.
How many times do we test the same things at multiple layers, multiple levels, adding time to the build process and testing cycle, delaying the feedback? We know what to test and how to test, but what is the right place to test it?
Using patterns of yore (like Martin Fowler’s supervising controller, effective use of presenters and view model state), this presentation discusses the everyday really annoying impediments to user interface(UI) testing. You will learn what parts of the UI need testing and effective ways of testing them.
Flaky tests are the bugbear of any automated test engineer; as someone once said “insanity is running the same tests over and over again and getting different results”. Flaky tests cause no end of despair, but perhaps there is no such thing as a flaky or non-flaky test, perhaps we need to look at this software testing problem through a different lens.
Let’s forget theory for a moment, and concentrate on the real world test automation. I’ve interviewed over 60 testers and developers on my TestTalks podcast. In this presentation you will discover seven of the most common themes/best practices taken from my guests as well as my own automation experiences. Find out what it takes to succeed with automation awesomeness with actionable advice you can apply right away to your own test automation projects.
