Tutorials, articles, tools and resources on how to apply functional testing in software testing
This talk explores how the QA developers at All Web Leads built a simple, flexible tool that brought the power of Selenium testing to other teams in the company. By making the slow, tedious parts of everyday browser testing fast and easy, the quality of testing performed outside of the QA team increased both with developers and in other parts of the company.
This article provides a comparison between HP QuickTest Professional (QTP) and Selenium. They are popular test automation tools that are used for functional and regression testing. The purpose of this comparison is not to say which is better tool, but it consists of comparison of tool based on different criteria like supported O/S, browser, object spy, object repository, license cost etc. This article is targeted for readers having prior working knowledge of automation approach and at least one automation tool.
Automating tests is an investment that is valuable as long as the investment is not too great. As such investing in automated testing tools can be great or bad depending on if your company really needs to automate. We want to get to the payback more quickly. The true investment is not only the cost of creating and maintaining automated tests. Watir is a family of libraries for testing web applications. Watir reduces the cost of creating automated tests that are maintainable. If we spend too much time fixing and debugging, we will never get the new features created, or we will abandon the automated tests temporarily.
Tools like Selenium make writing automated browser tests dead easy. Many teams never look further than this, and are satisfied with just replacing their laborious manual testing efforts with reliable Selenium scripts. They’ve missed a big opportunity.
HP Quick Test Professional is a test automation tool, also known as QTP. It is used to automate functional, regression and smoke test cases. It is a very popular software testing tool and works on MS windows O/S, supports development technologies like Active X, Delphi, Java, .Net, Oracle, People Soft, Web services etc. This article presents some best practices while doing automation using QTP.
This presentation shows how to easily go from user stories to automated integration tests that themselves read like user stories. You can accomplish this by using custom domain-specific languages (DSL).
Learn how to perform functional testing on JSF applications with Arquillian and Selenium. In modern development environments, it’s a must to include testing of Web applications as a standard part of the development lifecycle. Such tests can also be used as acceptance criteria in enterprise projects. Although full automation is possible, it is considered to be very expensive. As a result, in projects where testing is included as part of the project plan, it is also often the first requirement cut when the project schedule begins to slip.
