WebPagetest is an awesome tool, but out of the box there isn’t an easy way to run large numbers of tests and get performance trends over time. This video presents wpt-script, an open source tool that makes this process much easier. wpt-script is the short name for WebPagetest Script, a simple wrapper for the WebPagetest API that allows you to easily generate tests and graph results.
This video is an introduction to Karma, an open source test runner that makes testing JavaScript applications in real browsers frictionless and enjoyable.
There’s nothing more frustrating than seeing that almost-green test suite ruined by a couple of intermittent issues that are difficult to reproduce. Intermittent issues are not only a maintenance pain, but they also lead to low confidence in the test tools themselves. This presentation goes through a few of the more common reasons for these failures, shares some mitigation strategies and tells some stories about some intermittent failures that were caused by some surprising issues.
Test-Driven Development (TDD) can be difficult to practice as features increase in complexity. Testing is often skipped when developers feel uncomfortable with TDD or have not yet seen certain approaches in practice. This video describes specific techniques used in TDD which touch on: Integration testing with RSpec+Capybara, Model Associations and Data Validations, Asynchronous Jobs, Emails, 3rd Party Services, and JSON API endpoints.
Would you like to run your selenium scripts against multiple browsers and multiple server platforms continuously at night and report status on the web? Today’s software development often means continuous integration and testing using open-source tools such as Selenium.
This presentation incrementally demonstrates the concepts of Unit Testing, Test-Driven Development (TDD) and then Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) that enable us not just to create robust regression tests, but also clean and maintainable code.
It’s 4am and you don’t know it, but you’re about to get three times the traffic you were expecting. Is your service ready to handle it? Systems are only as scalable as their weakest component. Large scale load testing in production is the best (and surest) way to ensure that services can truly scale to the unexpected and Amazon Web Services (AWS) can help you.
