Tutorials and resources on how to apply test automation in software testing
This video presents a self-healing approaches in your test automation may reduce failures due to non-product related issues and improve stability of your Selenium tests to catch only product related defects.
“Is the release ready?” asks the Product Owner. It is hard to answer due to the number of requirements stated for this project, executed across different automated test suites. You access the test referential containing the requirements but have no visibility of the test execution status; the remaining solution is a hell of spreadsheet lookups.
Software development without test automation can no longer be considered professional. However, you might have existing code bases or want to rely on external libraries that may make writing effective and fast unit tests hard or even near to impossible. A typical work-around for these situations is to introduce test stubs for such external dependencies to make your code testable.
If you ask two software testers, you will get three different definitions for each software testing term. This article discusses spike testing and how this type of testing relates to performance and load testing.
In the software testing areas, it seems that just about anyone can learn how to code and use test automation tools. Even better is that codeless solutions are continually lowering the barrier of entry into the software automated testing field.
Test automation is a must for most large and medium-sized software businesses. However, just automation, even implemented in a project according to all the rules, may not be enough. The company will face several new challenges that slow down the team’s work and negatively affect the release speed. It doesn’t sound very optimistic, does it?
In most of your software testing activities, you need data. Sometimes you can rely on a small sample, but if you want to perform some load testing or if you want to test a feature that needs to produce a multipage invoice, then you start to need more than just two or three occurrences. Test data generators are tools that can help you in this task with the automatic generation of hundreds or thousands of customers, products or accounts items with different attributes for their id, email, name, etc.
