Software Testing Videos and Tutorials: Load Testing, Unit Testing, Functional Testing, Performance Testing, Agile Testing, DevOps
This presentation discusses software testing automation after the fact – or adding Selenium to an existing application. With an existing application, the first step to “doin’ it rite” is to stop doing it so wrong. This talk explains where the bodies are buried when taking an existing Rails application and adding front-end testing after the fact, well after the fact (like a couple of years). What approaches worked, what hasn’t worked and why. Keywords: Cucumber, Jasmine, Rails, Sadness.
This video presents the lessons that a team has learned from having a big code base of Selenium tests for acceptance testing. It covers different ways they have developed to track their tests across different projects and how this has helped them to identify flaky tests.
Unit tests are programmer’s best friend, but relying on them exclusively gives an illusion of overall system integrity. At some level, we need to verify how our components integrate and ensure unexpected behavior does not creep in when we shift the application into the target runtime. It all amounts to whether your application is providing the end user what he or she is really needs (tire swing) instead of what anyone thinks they need. How can we save our users from frustration, keep the fail whale at bay and communicate with stakeholders that the requirements are being met?
PHPUnit is a unit testing software framework for PHP. It provides both a framework that makes writing unit tests easy as well as the functionality to easily run the tests and analyze their results. This video shows you how to build a relatively simple class, using TDD techniques. It also discusses various PHPUnit methods and explains how to create mock objects.
Most Ruby programmers spend significant time writing, maintaining and troubleshooting automated tests. While recent discussions in the Ruby community have focused on whether we’re writing too few or too many tests, this talk looks at how we can write “sensible” tests that allow our applications to deliver the most possible value with the least amount of development time and effort.
Replace any .NET method with your own delegate! “Fakes” is a new framework in Visual Studio 11 for test stubs and detours in .NET. Fakes may be used to detour any .NET method, even in tough situations like static methods, non-virtual methods, private methods, constructors, etc… If you’ve been a user of Moles, Fakes is a lot like Moles but different so come and learn about the changes coming ahead too.
Learn the pros and cons of typical ways that teams manage exploratory testing, from stealth work and bug hunts through to spread bets and timeboxing. This video also explores some possible alternatives, taking inspiration from machine learning, lean approaches and from other industries who find value in exploration.
